Public Safety Must-Have Communication Tools

Public safety officers and first responders need the ultimate communication tools. As a Boston area wireless communications provider we understand that there is no time for faulty or inadequate equipment—every second counts when you’re saving lives. Your equipment needs to meet public safety standards to ensure that your team is able to work safely and quickly.

This also means that a single piece of communication equipment is rarely sufficient. Each technology has its own benefits, and many of them work better together by giving first responders access to all the information they need in the field.

We’ve put together a list of the top public safety communications tools we provide to help you and your team work more effectively and securely.

Portable Radios

Portable radios are a necessity for public safety. First responders cannot do their job efficiently and safely without them. Motorola Solutions radios provide clear communication and ease of use for personnel that are constantly on the move. Our portable radio collection is extensive and provide all of the above plus unique features that can benefit a variety of public safety needs.

One of our top portable radios, the APX 8000XE, is redefining mission-critical communication for Fire  It’s an ultra-durable radio with loud audio and secure Wi-Fi connectivity, and it’s designed specifically for safety personnel working in extreme environments. If you’re looking for a smaller radio that packs just as big of a punch, you may want to check out the APX 4000. It delivers all the benefits of TDMA technology in the smallest P25-capable portable radio in the industry.

Mobile Radios

Our mobile radios provide your team the ultimate in transportation communication. They can send data or voice messages across radio frequencies within a selected local area, city, or state.

Our extensive collection of mobile radios spans a wide range of capabilities, allowing any public safety team to find what they’re looking for. One of our top mobile radios, the APX 8500 Multi-Band, enables first responders to exchange critical voice and data communication from a single mobile radio to seamlessly connect with multiple agencies and jurisdictions operating on different radio bands. Our APX Dual P25 affords first responders the same qualities as the 8500, but it comes with both conventional and trunk settings.

With so many options to choose from, it can feel overwhelming to shop for mobile radios. We recommend reaching out to one of our experts to discuss your specific requirements. Our team will be able to match you with the right tool to work more effectively, and in turn, make faster and smarter decisions.

Dispatch Consoles

All of the dispatch consoles we provide put real-time information in the hands of public safety personnel to help them provide better information to make faster and better decisions. Each of our consoles is equipped to handle the busiest of days, with enhanced bandwidth efficiency through IP multicast technology.

The most notable device in this selection is the MCC 7500 IP Dispatch Console, Motorola’s ASTRO 25 Mission Critical IP Dispatch solution. It’s designed to ensure superior audio quality and prioritized emergency calls, regardless of the call volume. It’s also equipped with end-to-end encryption for secure calls and and easy-to-use elite graphical user interface (GUI).

Built for back-up sites, alternate locations, or special events, the Motorola MCD 5000 Deskset is a powerful and easy-to-deploy VoIP solution for your radio system. Easily connect other desk sets through your IP and expand communication capabilities throughout your organization for better awareness and improved coordination.

When disaster strikes and your team is in the trenches, you need a reliable way to stay connected and communicate efficiently. The Motorola APX Consolettes are self-contained to keep you connected even when computer-based dispatch systems fail.

In-Car Police Video Cameras

In-car police video cameras are important not only for the public but also for the officers themselves, as they hold everyone accountable and ensure that there’s video evidence if an incident needs to be investigated further.  When confusion strikes and rumors begin to fly, consult the recording to find out exactly what happened to make the most informed decision possible.

To help our public safety teams, Motorola introduced the Sr600. It’s an innovative in-car video camera that has a 360-degree view. It combines a single-lens, wide-view camera with dual microphones to capture every sound and movement that happens. It’s equipped with built-in storage, remote triggering, and secure Wi-Fi upload capabilities.

The video and audio provide high quality for evidence, giving your team the power to know the ins and outs of every situation encountered. Weigh in on events that you were not present for, and present the video for situations that come into question. Speak with one of our experts today to learn more about this new product and what it can do to protect your team from harm and help the community stay safe.
