6 Best Features of APX NEXT

Two-way radios are a lifeline for a plethora of team-based industries. For our clients in public safety, we understand that focus is your greatest resource. Interference with your communications line can jeopardize the safety of your teammates and community. The stakes are never higher than in an emergency situation— as such, your communications infrastructure must be optimized and ready for action at a moment’s notice.

APX NEXT protects your communications network with effortless usability and mission-critical, industry-leading intelligence. At its simplest, this is a radio that works when you need it to, without pause, distraction, or doubt. APX NEXT radios are engineered to be easier to use, faster to connect, and designed for uninterrupted focus.

Here are some key features of the APX NEXT two-way radio line from Motorola Solutions that put it ahead of its time.

Enhanced Audio

In the public safety industry, your call must be heard. With analog microphones, your message is at risk of being muddied, choppy, or dropped entirely during transmission.

With APX NEXT, you’ll be communicating through multiple high-dynamic-range microphones, and receiving responses through high-powered speakers. The combination of these advanced digital techniques guarantees that every message to your fellow officers and responders will be understood, loud and clear.

SmartTouch

Touch screen technology is now commonplace in our smartphones, tablets, vehicle dashboards, and control panels— but optimizing it for public safety communications poses new challenges. Your screens must be reactive under varying circumstances. Whether you’re operating your communication device from your vehicle, on-site, or anyplace in-between, you can’t afford to delay messages as a result of an unresponsive touch screen.

The APX NEXT SmartTouch interface acknowledges and overcomes challenges that are common to public safety communications. It is fully operable with gloves, shrugs off dust and dirt, is water-resistant, and is easily visible in all lighting conditions. Enabling night mode can prevent unwanted attention and preserve situational awareness. All of these features combine to bring you a device that is as intelligent and adaptable as its user.

Smart Messaging

Audio isn’t always the best option for communication. When you’re forced to communicate with more than your voice alone, APX NEXT’s SmartMessaging connects you and your teammates with vital information in the field.

Your two-way radio provides you with a multimedia toolkit to effortlessly transmit valuable data. From text messages to images, video, and voice notes, you can enhance collaboration across your entire team and stay safer in action by keeping your responders fully informed. You can even transmit messages from your radio to other smartphones for optimized interoperability. With APX NEXT, each and every kind of message is received, loud and clear as you bring new intelligence to the field.
