Description

APX™ 8000 All-Band P25 Portable Radio

Features

All-band operation

  • 4 Bands in 1 Radio: 7/800 MHz, VHF and UHF Range 1 and Range 2 bands
  • Modes and Protocols include: Analog MDC-1200 and QCII, Digital P25, Conventional or Trunked, Smartnet / SmartZone, clear or secure, repeater or direct

Adaptive audio engine

  • Adaptive Dual-sided Operation using beam-forming technology so you can talk into either side of the radio.
  • Adaptive Noise Suppression adjusts the audio algorithm so you can cancel out the noise as it changes in the environment.
  • Adaptive Speaker Equalization adjusts the 1 watt loud speaker settings based on volume selection so the sound is optimized for talker authenticity at lower volumes and speech intelligibility at higher volumes.
  • Adaptive Gain Control adjusts microphone gain based on how loud you talk into the radio to ensure a consistent audio level on the receiving end.
  • Adaptive Windporting engages a third microphone in order to cancel out wind noise.

Fit for the mission 

  • Familiar look and feel of the compact APX 6000 but with the RF band access of two APX 7000 radios.
  • Flexible All-band Antenna that bends easily while you’€™re moving around on the job.
  • Aggressive T-shape so the radio is easier to grip even with wet or slippery hands.
  • Top Display  provides quick access to radio status information and critical notifications.
  • Intelligent Lighting uses 3 simple colors to alert users of critical radio events like emergency, low battery, out of range and private calls and pages.
  • Voice Announcement provides audible confirmation of zone/channel selections and various feature like scan, direct mode, emergency, encryption and controls lock.
  • Radio Profiles allows the agency to create custom user experience based on the role and mission of the user.

Integrated wi-fi and data connectivity 

  • Update your radio fleet software more efficiently without interrupting voice communications or waiting for idle radios.
  • Up to 20 WiFi Networks can be provisioned in the radio so that users can seamlessly receive radio software updates at facility WiFi access points or in the field via WiFi hot spots.
  • GPS Outdoor Personnel Tracking shares your personnel’€™s location, resulting in more efficient task assignment and enhanced officer safety.
  • Mission Critical Wireless Bluetooth connects quickly and securely with remote speaker microphones, surveillance kits and the LEX L10 Mission Critical LTE Handheld for radio remote control. Off-the-shelf BT audio and data accessories are also supported.

Ruggedness 

  • Aluminum Alloy Endoskeleton protects the radio’s interior from water intrusion even if the outer housing is breached.
  • IP 68 rating ensures the radio can withstand 2 meters  of water submersion for 2 hours.
  • Delta-T option ensures the radio can withstand 2 meters  of water submersion for 4 hours.
  • MIL-STD 810 C, D, E, F, G rating ensures you can rely on your radio in the most extreme environments.
  • Tempered Glass protects the radio’€™s color display user interface from scratches, impact and pressure.
  • Dual Latch Battery protects the radio from resetting, powering off or ejecting the battery upon impact from drops.

Security 

  • Multiple hardware encryption algorithms like AES, DES, ADP with up to 128 keys so sensitive information stays protected from scanners and eavesdroppers.
  • Over-the-air Re-key (OTAR) to efficiently update encryption keys of fielded radios over time.
  • P25 Radio Authentication ensures only valid users can access the system.
  • Two-factor Authentication allows users to securely query databases.
