Motorola APX 8000 Radio, Microphones, and Charger

· APX 8000 all-band portable radios model 3.5

· Delete 700/800 MHZ bands on 13 radios.

· Must have multiple channels for multiple radio frequencies to be programmed into the radio, to include the scan function.

· The contracted company must program radios to work with our current radio system.

· The contracted company must encrypt the radios to work with our current radio system.

· The contracted company needs to install the mobile radios in our patrol vehicles.

· Must have the emergency button activation function installed.

· The radio has AES FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Encryption and/or WIFI with Smart Connect, than no one else can compete.

· Must allow VA police to interoperate with local county police, fire, and EMS. AES encryption is used by most local county police, fire, and EMS. Only Motorola’s AES encryption is FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security certified. Level 3 security provides additional physical tamper-proofing on top of the requirements for FIPS Level 1 and Level 2. If physically tampered with, encryption keys are automatically wiped from the radio. This ensures that any radios that are lost or compromised are fully tamper protected from having encryption keys stolen. This allows the most secure communication and protection.

· Also only Motorola has Adaptive Dual Mic Noise Suppression Technology that allows for mission critical audio transmission regardless of the radio’s orientation. This means a user could speak into either the front, back, top, bottom or either side of the radio and it would instantly find the voice and cancel out the ambient noise allowing clear and crisp transmissions in noisy environments. Purchasing other brand radios could result in the loss of interoperability with local agencies, the increase in risk of encryption key vulnerabilities, and the potential decrease in clear transmissions thus threatening the safety of VA police, facility staff and patients.
