Abstract: This paper describes the computer controlled "Metro-Page" paging terminals, the decimal digital five-tone sequential signalling method, and the "Metro-Pageboy" paging receiver which were developed at Motorola to meet the current Common Carrier metropolitan paging needs. These new generation system ingredients provide greater traffic and code capacity in order to extend service to about 100,000 subscribers from a single RF channel utilizing lightweight shirt pocket size VHF-FM pagers. Also described are the unique subscriber list, battery saver, "Mem-O-Lert" and programmable code plug features which facilitate both Common Carrier and paging subscriber operations.
