Oversimplified, SmartZone refers to a single system made up of a number of sites all connected together within a single 'zone', up to a maximum of 64 sites in the older 3.x & 4.x systems. Omnilink refers to connecting two or more SmartZone systems together to give even wider area coverage and appear to the radios as a single system (except the low-tiered LCS/LTS radios)...maximum of 3 zones & 196 sites in the 3.x & 4.x systems, I believe. If you have consoles in the system, they take up slots so the number of sites goes down accordingly.
No trees were harmed in the posting of this message...however an extraordinarily large number of electrons were horribly inconvenienced.
