SINGLE-BAND P25 MOBILE RADIO

DATASHEET APX 6500

You may not know what the next call will entail, but you do know that your team needs communication they can count on. Whether on a motorcycle, in a squad car or a fire truck, the rugged and compact design of the evolved APX™ 6500 mobile radio is designed to maximize the real estate in your vehicle and keep your entire agency safely connected. Now with integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and SmartConnect, the APX 6500 gives you more ways to manage your radio and stay connected. And when your vehicle sustains a high impact, the radio can automatically alert dispatch.

Security is more important than ever. Criminals are testing you on the streets and over the air. Fight back with multiple levels of protection to encrypt and secure your voice and data communication against eavesdropping.

Stay connected, keep safe and secure your communications with the APX 6500 single-band mobile radio.

STAY INFORMED. STAY SAFE.

FLEXIBLE, EASY INSTALLATION

The small and light form-factor of the APX 6500 allows for easy installation across a growing ecosystem of vehicles and installations. Users can choose one of several interchangeable control heads to best fit their need. Dual control head configuration enables radio operation from multiple locations within the same vehicle, such as a large fire truck.

ALL THE SUPPORT YOU NEED

From simple support for technical troubleshooting to a complete transfer of optimization and maintenance services to Motorola Solutions, you choose the level of support that suits you best.

KEEP VOICE AND DATA PROTECTED

The APX 6500 secures voice and data using multiple hardware encryption algorithms and the ability to rekey over the air, so it’s protected from scanners and eavesdroppers. What’s more, P25 Radio Authentication ensures only valid users can access the system while the available two-factor authentication secures database logins.

Wi-Fi

VOICE AND DATA, ALL AT ONCE

Packed with all the connections you need, the APX 6500 keeps your team in touch and within reach of over-the-air updates. Receive new codeplugs, firmware updates and software features at the speed of Wi-Fi— without interruptions to voice communications.

SMARTCONNECT

GET CONNECTED AND STAY CONNECTED

When the mission takes you out of range, you risk being left in the dark. The APX 6500, equipped with SmartConnect, can reroute P25 voice and data communication over broadband via built-in Wi-Fi or a tethered LTE/satellite router. Stay connected to your P25 radio system, even when outside of P25 coverage.
