Two-Way Radios
Two-way radio equipment for commercial, industrial, security, transport, property-management, emergency and field operations, including analog FM, digital DMR/NXDN/dPMR, VHF/UHF portables, mobiles, repeaters and dispatch systems.
Commercial, industrial, security, transport, emergency and field dispatch communication.
Selection Parameters
What to specify for a quote
Category-level selection fields for RFQ preparation. Exact values must be confirmed against the selected model, datasheet and project conditions.
| Parameter | Typical Values / Options | RFQ Input | Engineering Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radio Type | Analog FM portable, DMR digital portable, Mobile radio, Repeater, PoC radio, Dispatch system | Portable/mobile/repeater scope, analog or digital mode, and integration with existing systems. | Confirm interoperability with the customer's current radios, repeaters and dispatch platform. |
| Frequency Band | VHF, UHF, Region-specific licensed bands, Cellular/Wi-Fi for PoC devices | Target country, licensed frequency range, channel plan and existing fleet frequency data. | Radio band and transmit power must comply with local spectrum licensing and certification rules. |
| Channel Capacity | 16 channels, 32 channels, 128+ channels, Talk groups/zones | Number of channels, talk groups, departments, zones and scan requirements. | Digital systems may use zones, talk groups and contact lists rather than simple channel counts. |
| Transmit Power | Low/high selectable power, Handheld watt-class output, Mobile/repeater higher-power classes | Required coverage area, license limits, battery-life target and antenna type. | Coverage depends on antenna, terrain, building penetration and repeater design, not power alone. |
| Operating Mode | Analog FM, DMR Tier II, DMR Tier III, NXDN, dPMR, PoC over LTE/Wi-Fi | Required protocol, trunking requirement, encryption need and compatibility target. | Protocol choice affects interoperability, spectrum efficiency, dispatch features and licensing. |
| Channel Spacing | 12.5 kHz narrowband, 20 kHz, 25 kHz, Region-specific spacing | Regulatory region, licensed channel spacing and existing radio programming file if available. | Narrowband requirements vary by country and service type. |
| Battery Life | Duty-cycle based runtime, 5-5-90 usage profile, Long-shift battery packs | Required shift length, transmit/receive/standby duty cycle and accessory load. | Battery life claims should state the duty cycle and battery capacity used. |
| Battery Capacity | Li-ion battery pack, High-capacity pack, Spare battery option | Capacity target, charging method, spare-battery requirement and battery transport documents. | Lithium batteries may require UN38.3, MSDS and transport labeling. |
| Ingress Protection (IP Rating) | IP54, IP55, IP65, IP67, IP68 | Target IP rating, indoor/outdoor use, wash-down exposure and dust environment. | IP ratings must be confirmed at complete product or enclosure level. |
| Ruggedness Standard | MIL-STD-810 class testing, Drop resistance, Vibration resistance, Operating temperature class | Drop height, vibration exposure, outdoor use and required test standard. | Durability claims should reference a specific test method or standard. |
| Audio Performance | Loud speaker output, Noise suppression, Audio feedback suppression, Emergency audio priority | Noise environment, speaker loudness target, microphone type and headset requirement. | Audio performance is strongly affected by enclosure design, DSP and accessory selection. |
| Signaling and Advanced Features | CTCSS/DCS, Emergency alarm, Man down, GPS, Bluetooth, Text messaging, Encryption, Dispatch integration | Required signaling, safety features, location tracking, encryption and dispatch workflow. | Feature availability depends on radio protocol, firmware, licensing and accessory ecosystem. |
| Dimensions and Weight | Module envelope, System enclosure, Packaged shipping weight | Available installation envelope, mounting orientation, maximum weight and service access constraints. | For shipment planning, separate product net weight from gross weight and volume. |
| Accessories | Antenna, Desktop charger, Multi-unit charger, Speaker microphone, Earpiece, Programming cable, Vehicle charger | Accessory list, charging quantity, wearing method and spare-parts plan. | Accessory compatibility should be confirmed by exact model and connector type. |
