IWCE: Device Enhancements from MotoTRBO

The International Wireless Communications Expo (IWCE) is being held this week in Las Vegas, NV. With over 330 exhibitors in attendance, IWCE is a unique chance for communications companies to market to their target audience directly and unveil new products and technologies. Motorola Solutions is taking advantage of the opportunity this week, announcing new enhancements to its MotoTRBO portfolio.

The company's multi-cast enabled IP system, chiefly operating on its MIP 5000 VoIP Radio Console, is geared toward entry-level and mid-level customer tiers, providing ID and alias displays, emergency alarm and call notification, and supporting text messaging, according to Director of Professional and Commercial Radio Paul Cizek. Transportation, utilities public administration, public works, and other service agencies can also expect improvements to its repeater portfolio, including a new VHF version of its MTR 3000 radio system, which means the device is now capable in all major spectrum bands (UHF, VHF and 800/900 MHz).

Upgrades will be available to MTR 2000 customers to the MTR 3000 for relatively half price. Utilizing the upgrade will allow users to have the ability to move from an analog solution to MotoTRBO digital operation.

The XPR 8400 was announced as successor to the XPR 8300 as an entry-level tier repeater. The new device is meant to simplify network maintenance, allowing for enhanced repeater diagnostics − interrogating and downloading software remotely, over an IP connection. New wireless accessories, including a Bluetooth and enhancements to Connect Plus. Connectivity options to SCADA systems will also be unveiled.

MOTOTRBO continues to adapt to the FCC's narrowbanding regulations and allow for a future 6.25 kHz mandate, creating UHF and VHF solutions for entry-level and mid-level operators.
