Unique MOTOTRBO System Benefits for Enhanced Productivity
MOTOTRBO offers a private, standards-based, highly cost-effective solution that can be tailored to meet your unique coverage and feature needs. This versatile portfolio provides a complete system of portable radios, mobile radios, repeaters, accessories, services and a complete solution. MOTOTRBO:
• Uses Time-Division Multiple-Access (TDMA) technology to provide twice the calling capacity (compared to analogue or FDMA radios) for the price of one license. A second call does not require a second repeater, saving you equipment costs.
• Doubles the number of users you can have on a single licensed 12 .5 kHz channel - with no monthly fees.
• Integrates voice and data to increase operational efficiency and support a wide range of applications. Through Motorola’s Application Partner Programme customers and system integrators can have access to advanced features and build on their investment. (GPS location tracking).
• Provides clearer voice communications over a greater range than comparable analogue radios, rejecting static and noise.
• Offers enhanced battery life. Digital TDMA two-way radios can operate up to 40 percent longer between recharges compared to typical analogue radios.
• Enables additional functionality including dispatch data, and enhanced call signaling.
• Provides easy migration from analogue to digital with the ability to operate in both analogue and digital modes.
• Meets demanding specifications - U.S. Military 810 C, D, E,and F, IP57 for submersibility (portable models), and Motorola standards for durability and reliability.
• Uses the IMPRES™ Smart Energy System to automate battery maintenance, optimise life cycle and maximise talk time.
MOTOTRBO Integrated Data Enables Advanced Applications
MOTOTRBO is changing the way businesses communicate. New functionality, features and well-documented interfaces embedded in the radio opens up new possibilities. Through Motorola’s Application Partner Programme customers and system integrators can have access to these advanced features and build on their investment and add new high-value capabilities published.

Programme manager for support.
Location Services
A location service provides the ability to track people and assets, such as vehicles. This advanced approach takes advantage of the GPS- receiver integrated within both the portable and mobile radios, combined with the software applications from one of the many MOTOTRBO application partners.
GPS-equipped portable and mobile radios can be configured to transmit their geographical coordinates at pre-programmed intervals, on demand and in case of an emergency. Software applications provide dispatchers with a real-time display of fleet activity on a customised, highresolution, color-coded map. Using a location service application and MOTOTRBO’s integrated GPS, your customers can enjoy the benefits of location tracking.
Text Messaging Services
A text messaging service allows communication between radios and dispatch systems, between radios and email-addressable devices, and to remote PC
clients attached to radios.
Through an application from a MOTOTRBO application partner, the computer software application adds a PC-based, client/server software application for
dispatch-oriented messaging to the system, which extends the capabilities of messaging to include communications between radios and dispatcher PCs. Furthermore, the dispatcher PC can act as a gateway to email, enabling messaging between email-addressable devices and radios.
Basic Telemetry Services
MOTOTRBO can be configured and customised for telemetry operation. A PC application interoperating with a MOTOTRBO radio can control inputs and outputs of the radio. This allows for a range of basic telemetry services such as automated readings, monitoring & control and equipment monitoring.
New Audio Accessory Interface Enables Enhanced Performance and Capabilities
Motorola digital technology enables breakthrough radio performance and features. And our new audio interface means MOTOTRBO accessories can offer
your customers new performance and capabilities, too, now and in the future.
• Accessory programmable buttons can be programmed to any feature available in the radio, rather than being linked to radio programmable button
programming. This allows the accessory programmable buttons to have independent programmable features.
• The new portable connector design meets IP57 submersibility requirements. This allows for use with submersible accessories such as the submersible remote speaker microphone.
• The new portable interface design incorporates the antenna signal within the audio connectors, which allows for easy use of accessories that require an RF signal, such as public safety speaker microphones.
• The new connector design also incorporates USB capability, which allows for the development of USB-capable accessories.
• The new audio accessory interface is the Motorola standard audio accessory interface for two-way portable and mobile radios.
• In addition, the interface incorporates the capability for enhanced audio functionality, industry unique technology that allows for communication between the radio and the audio accessory. Accessory identification is sent to the radio enabling the radio to help optimise its output for each type of audio accessory. This results in more consistent output across all audio accessory types.
The MOTOTRBO radio portfolio is supported by a range of genuine Motorola accessories to enhance functionality and ensure the highest performance of the radio solution. Whether it is harsh working conditions, noisy environments, long shifts or the focus is on discrete communication, the MOTOTRBO accessories range will meet the need.
