About this file
This document is a salient characteristics specification sheet for a federal contract opportunity requiring Motorola APX Series radios and related equipment for public safety communications.
The procurement calls for 34 total units across four product lines: 16 Motorola APX 8000 portable radios, 10 APX 8500 mobile radios, 6 APX NEXT portable radios, and 2 APX Consolette base stations. All equipment must be multi-band, P25-compliant for digital communications. The APX 8000 must support all-band interoperability across 700/800 MHz, VHF, and UHF bands with rugged construction meeting IP68 and MIL-STD 810 standards, adaptive audio with noise suppression, hardware encryption for secure communications, Wi-Fi capability for remote programming, and ergonomic dual-sided operation. The APX 8500 mobile radio requires all-band operation on 700/800 MHz with P25 digital and trunked system support, hardware encryption with up to 128 keys and OTAR capability, 100W transmitter power, integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 with GPS tracking, and Mission Critical Geofencing integration with VML750 LTE vehicle modems. The APX NEXT portable requires rugged military-standard construction, a 3.6-inch all-weather capacitive touchscreen usable with gloves, ViQi voice recognition technology for database queries, P25 LMR combined with LTE and Wi-Fi SmartConnect capability, adaptive audio performance, and smart batteries with 14 to 18-hour capacity. The APX Consolette base station must support P25 Phase 1 and 2 with SmartNet/SmartZone trunking, IP55-rated rugged metal housing, operation across 700/800 MHz and VHF/UHF bands with 10-110W power output, crosspatch integration capability, hardware AES encryption with OTAR, and support for up to 2,000 channels. The document includes detailed specification checklists for each product line with Yes/No capability confirmation boxes.
