The Lifeline, Evolved.
Converging the reliability of P25 voice with the intelligence of broadband data. Meet the radio that protects your focus when seconds count.
Beyond the Edge of the Network
Bridging the gap between LMR reliability and LTE intelligence.
The Connectivity Gap
"LMR dead zones endanger officers."
Solution: SmartConnect
Seamlessly switches to LTE/Wi-Fi when P25 coverage fades. No app to open, no button to press. Just reliable voice.
The Data Overload
"Distracted driving and heads-down operation."
Solution: ViQi Voice Control
Run plates, change zones, and check status with natural language commands. Keep your eyes up and hands free.
The Management Logjam
"Months lost to manual fleet programming."
Solution: RadioCentral
Update encryption keys and firmware over-the-air in minutes. Zero touch, zero downtime.

Redefining the Patrol Standard
Designed for the "Eyes Up, Hands Free" philosophy. The standard APX NEXT minimizes cognitive load during high-velocity engagements.
- All-Band Advantage: VHF, UHF, 7/800 MHz simultaneous operation.
- Mission-Critical Touch: Usable with 4mm gloves, rain, or snow.
- SmartMapping: Blue force tracking directly on the radio screen.
Engineering for the Fireground
Visibility is zero. Dexterity is compromised. The XE is engineered to mitigate sensory deficits.
- Exaggerated Ergonomics: Oversized knobs and textured PTT for gloved use.
- Adaptive Audio: Beamforming HDR mics suppress PASS alarms and saws.
- High Impact Green: Maximum visibility housing options.
The NFPA 1802 Fortification
Certified invincible. The XN endures torture tests that destroy military-grade electronics.
- Thermal Resilience: Survives 500°F (260°C) for 5 minutes.
- 3-Meter Drop: Tested on concrete, repeated on all faces.
- Ingress Protection: IP68 rated after thermal shock.
