Claim 0:
1. A system for providing communication in a distributed land mobile radio (LMR) system architecture, the system comprising:
a controller associated with at least one of a first LMR site, a second LMR site, or a third LMR site;
a first voter comparator associated with the first LMR site, the first voter comparator configured to receive at least a first signal from a device;
a second voter comparator associated with the second LMR site, the second voter comparator configured to receive at least a second signal from the device; and
a third voter comparator associated with the third LMR site, the third voter comparator configured to receive at least a third signal from the device,
wherein the first signal, the second signal, and the third signal are radio frequency signal signals, and
wherein one voter comparator of the first voter comparator, the second voter comparator, and the third voter comparator (i) receives the first signal from the device or the first voter comparator, the second signal from the device or the second voter comparator, and the third signal from the device or the third voter comparator, (ii) compares signal strengths of the first signal, the second signal, and the third signal, and (iii) transmits one of the first signal, the second signal, or the third signal that has the greatest signal strength from the first signal, the second signal, and the third signal to the controller.
