New Digital Two-Way Radio from Motorola Solutions Delivers Clear, Reliable Team Communications in Latin America

Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) today announced the launch of the MOTOTRBO R7, a digital two-way radio with advanced audio features and a slim, rugged design to connect teams in loud, rough and dynamic environments.

The MOTOTRBO R7 voice communications work on the digital mobile radio (DMR) standard and deliver sharp, clear speech for better intelligibility, with industrial-level noise cancellation, automatic feedback suppression and automatic volume adjustment based on background noise. Critical and detailed information is displayed on the home screen, alleviating the need for workers to scroll through multiple screens to access alerts or text messages. The device can be programmed and updated over the air via WiFi to reduce downtime and is powered by a battery that lasts up to 28 hours.

“Clarity and coverage of radio communications is a top concern whether it is a manufacturing facility or a mining complex because it directly affects safety and operational efficiency,” said Katja Millard, vice president, Enterprise Products, Motorola Solutions. “Employees working with heavy machinery or underground can hear the MOTOTRBO R7 voice communications loud and clear without leaving their stations or stopping the production line. The rugged design of the radio is ideal for use on the manufacturing floor, and subterranean pits because it stands up to dust, spills, drops and the wear-and-tear of everyday use.”

The MOTOTRBO R7 is easily connected to a variety of sensors over DMR and Bluetooth and can be integrated with video security and access control systems. This allows security personnel to receive notifications on the device when there are unauthorized attempts to access secure areas or doors are propped open. Plant operators and field workers are able to receive critical alerts when high levels of hazardous gas are detected and rapidly react to help keep everyone safe.
