MOTOTRBO Ion Smart Radio

Introducing the latest innovation in business comms solutions – the Motorola Ion ‘smart’ radio.

Built to deliver always-on voice and data connectivity across multiple networks, the Ion brings together the very best of digital two way radio and mobile technology in a single device.

The Ion has been developed specifically to fit the way modern businesses operate – no more communication silos, no separation between radios, smartphones and other devices, no more location-dependent, isolated networks. With the Ion, everything is connected.

A rugged, dependable push-to-talk device with a full touchscreen and an Android operating system, the Ion offers flexible connectivity options covering digital UHF radio, 4G LTE, WiFi and Bluetooth.

An Auto Network Switch feature automatically swaps between radio signal and broadband when the user leaves the radio coverage area, allowing you to communicate seamlessly across traditional network boundaries. Compatibility with Motorola’s carrier-independent WAVE PTX service means the Ion can communicate with any connected device.

The Android platform and open app ecosystem it supports allows you to add all the applications you need for your business – ticketing, scheduling, collaboration, the full set of Google G Suite productivity apps and plenty more.

In addition, the Ion offers multimedia capabilities, with a 13MP rear camera that supports full HD video, meaning you can extend your communication options with video calls and conferencing.

The Ion also comes ready loaded with Motorola’s MOTOTRBO unified technology ecosystem, a set of digital radio software platforms including IP Site Connect, Capacity Plus and Capacity Max which have helped redefine what two way radio is capable of.

Designed specifically for use in all business and industrial environments, the Ion is built for durability and long-lasting performance. It is rated IP68 for dust and water ingress protection, and the touchscreen is made from Gorilla Glass, suitable for use in all weathers and while wearing gloves.

The Ion also benefits from Motorola’s very best intelligent audio enhancement technology, meaning every call comes through loud and clear, no matter how much background noise there is.

Safety and security is another high priority for all business communications. For supporting heath and safety protocols, the Ion is fitted with a gyrometer, accelerometer and other sensors which can be used to trigger alerts in dangerous conditions or if the user falls. Multi-constellation GNSS location tracking (combining GPS, GLONASS and other satellite tracking technologies) provides pinpoint monitoring in all locations.

The Ion is also certified as intrinsically safe for hazardous environments according to the TIA4950 standard, with the option to fit a HazLoc certified battery.
