KEY FACTS
- The first product announced today is the DP3441 series; a remarkably small portable radio that delivers a full suite of MOTOTRBO™ voice and data features in a tough, waterproof package. Fitting comfortably in the palm of your hand, it delivers the GPS, Bluetooth and system capability you’d expect of a much larger radio. And being IP67-rated, it can operate in wet and dusty environments with impunity.
- Today, Motorola is announcing the development of 800 MHz and 900 MHz versions of its iconic and award winning SL Series. These will be available in late 2013, and will give more customers the opportunity to experience how sleek and smart a digital two-way radio can be.
- The DP4000 Series portable radios were launched in 2012, and have been serving customers ever since with top tier enhanced voice, data, and application capabilities, including Bluetooth®, and a built-in GPS receiver. Today Motorola Solutions also announces the launch of new variants for the 800/900 MHz bands that will be available in late 2013, extending availability of this radio to other customers, regions and markets.
- Motorola is also introducing a Remote Mount Control Head option for the DM4000 Series radios, allowing separation of the control panel and the radio by up to five meters and putting the mobile radio within the reach of the driver in specialist vehicles.
- MOTOTRBO is a family of digital-capable two-way radios that offers superb audio quality, excellent durability, and a wide range of different models, enhanced by powerful audio and wireless Bluetooth accessories, batteries, chargers and carry solutions. Since its introduction in Australia and New Zealand in 2008, more than a million MOTOTRBO™ units have been sold, from feature-rich voice and data radios to simple voice-only portables.
