Seamless Multi-Band Interoperability For Public Safety First Responders
Whether you are responding to a fire call or rushing to a robbery or break in, you need continuous communication and the ability to monitor voice activity at all times. With the APX™ Dual Radio public safety first responders will be able to achieve complete interoperability all from the ease of a single control head.
Multi-Band Interoperability At Your Fingertips
With the APX Dual Radio, first responders are able to monitor and communicate with other agencies on up to four different frequency
bands (7/800, VHF, UHFR1 and UHFR2) and systems utilizing one remote mounted APX O7 Control Head.
Simultaneous Multiple Channel Monitoring
By allowing simultaneous monitoring of two channels at a time, the APX Dual Radio ensures that users never miss a transmission
and voice priority is never compromised. It is the ideal solution for first responders who need to monitor and respond to all activity 24/7. For example, first responders can continuously monitor a priority talk group that is on the same system as their working talk group. They can also monitor a conventional mutual aid channel while simultaneously monitoring their trunking dispatch talk group.
Priority Channel Scan Is Always Available
APX Dual radio provides public safety users the ability to scan across trunking and conventional channels without losing priority using two separate scan lists.
Dual Radio Communication
Provides users with the ability to communicate on up to 4 different frequency bands (7/800, VHF, UHFR1, and UHFR2) via O7 control head
Control Head Support
APX Dual Radio is only available with the O7 control head.
Ability to Mix and Match Hardware
APX Dual Radio allows combination support of the APX 7500 and APX 6500 receivers to be used.
RF ID Asset Tracking
12 character RF ID asset tracking provides a convenient method of obtaining valuable asset tracking information without having to uninstall the radio.
P25 Phase 2-TDMA
Twice the voice capacity, allowing additional users on the system without the need for additional frequencies or infrastructure.
Integrated GPS
Enables accountability and location tracking of an individual or vehicle, which can be sent to a map-based location application.
Encryption
FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified hardware encryption provides tamperproof security to ensure the highest level of secure communications.
