IWCE, Motorola Solutions Booth #5001 – Motorola
Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI), today announced the latest additions
to its award-winning APX Project 25 (P25) Time Division Multiple
Access (TDMA)-capable mission critical two-way radio series with
the launch of two mobile radio control heads. Motorola is also
expanding its Bluetooth® Mission Critical Wireless portfolio with
additional earpiece options, a solution compatible with both the
APX and Motorola XTS™ radio series.
KEY FACTS
- Designed for extreme environments with
exaggerated controls and a rugged, impact-green colored housing,
the APX O2 Mobile Control Head incorporates Motorola’s XE extreme
series’ rugged design and ergonomics for use by firefighters,
marine units, utilities and mining. It features a large color
display with intelligent lighting and an integrated speaker for
loud, clear audio.
- The compact APX O7 Mobile Control Head
is a flush-mount design with integrated keypad, siren, lights,
public address (PA) and gun-lock controls. It features a large
color display as well an enlarged multi-function rotary knob for
easier control of talk-group and volume settings. Both control
heads are expected to be available in the second quarter of
2012.
- A discreet design ideal for undercover
and plain-clothes officers, the earbud configuration for the APX
and XTS series portable radios is a cost-effective and
high-performing earpiece option, adding to the broad Bluetooth
Mission Critical Wireless portfolio.
- Enabling every word to be heard,
Motorola’s Mission Critical Wireless accessories are designed
specifically for public safety with simple touch pairing and fast
push-to-talk (PTT). These new Bluetooth options are expected to be
available in the second quarter of 2012.
- The smallest, lightest P25 TDMA-capable
portable radio in the industry, the APX 4000 is now shipping in
North America to public works, public utility and rural public
safety customers. Like other APX radios, the APX 4000 has a
two-microphone design that reduces background noise so users can
speak and hear clearly in challenging environments, an easy user
interface and an enlarged multi-function knob to easily turn the
radio on or off, set volume and switch talk groups.
- Also shipping now, the APX XE Remote
Speaker Microphone (RSM) is designed specifically to enhance
firefighter communications and safety in extreme conditions. This
is the first RSM for the fire market to feature two microphones,
providing exceptional noise suppression for first responders
working in extremely loud environments. The RSM’s unique design
recently earned it the 2012 iF gold award for product design; it
was one of only 100 recipients chosen from more than 4,000 entries.
This recognition is known globally as being a prestigious honor for
innovative product design.
SUPPORTING QUOTES
Brenda Herold, corporate vice president, Motorola
Solutions
“The Motorola APX series was launched in 2008 and has rapidly
grown to include a complete P25 TDMA-capable mission critical
device portfolio. With the addition of the APX O2 and APX O7 Mobile
Control Heads, Motorola offers five different mobile control heads,
giving users optimum choice and flexibility. The delivery of APX
4000 radios today to public works and utility customers and rural
public safety agencies demonstrates that Motorola has designed
something for everyone, providing the right device for the right
user in every situation.”
Nick Candotti, director, Global Accessory and Energy
business, Motorola Solutions
“Motorola continues to expand its mission critical wireless
portfolio by introducing an earbud configuration that increases
public safety wearing options with a solution that has the comfort
and look of a consumer earpiece. The earbud is a cost-effective
solution for both APX and XTS radios and is designed specifically
to help keep first responders better connected and protected.
Continuing our innovation, we are pleased to offer our customers
the APX XE RSM, now recognized globally for its innovative product
design.”
