Each radio has FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified hardware encryption, integrated GPS for accountability and location tracking and future ready capabilities with P25 Phase 2 technology, expandable memory, over-the-air programming, audio, and other features like intelligent lighting.
"
Motorola
products are targeted for the specific needs of first responders in extreme situations," said Brenda Herold, corporate vice president of Motorola Enterprise Mobility Solutions. "We are proud to present the Motorola
APX 7000XE
as a solution to address issues like loud fireground conditions, large fire gloves that may restrict use of radio controls, and distractions stemming from limited screen visibility."
Firefighters and other mission critical users working in extreme or hazardous conditions may benefit from the glove readiness of the
APX 7000XE
. "The large knobs on the
APX 7000XE
make changing channels and adjusting the volume very easy with gloves on. These knobs are in a class all to themselves," said Lieutenant David H. Hudik, EMT- PRN, Elgin, Ill. Fire Department.
The new T-grip design provides a wider control top with exaggerated controls and knobs, distinct channel knob "clicks" and a "high resistance feel" volume knob. A push-to-talk (PTT) button and a large emergency button located at the base of the antenna also make usage easier.
Noise reduction software combined with the latest AMBE digital voice vocoder and Motorola's exclusive Extreme Audio Profile work with the 1-watt speaker so that audio can be heard over background noise created by sirens and tools in an emergency situation. Lastly, a larger top display allows first responders to see radio status and channel or zone information without removing the radio from their turnout gear.
