Motorola radios for businesses: what is the MOTOTRBO range?
MOTOTRBO is Motorola Solutions’ professional radio platform based on the DMR digital standard. MOTOTRBO radios operate in digital mode and, in most models, analog mode too, allowing gradual fleet modernization while maintaining communication with older radios during the transition. In digital mode, audio is cleaner at coverage edges, batteries last longer and features such as group calls, private calls and text messages are available depending on model and programming.
Alongside portables (known as HTs), Motorola radio communications includes mobile radios for vehicles and base stations, repeaters to extend coverage, PoC radios using the cellular network and systems interconnecting sites. Choosing well starts with understanding where and how teams work.
Motorola has a long history in radio communications, dating back to the first portable radios of the decade starting in 1940. Today, Motorola Solutions focuses on critical communications for businesses and security agencies, with radios, networks, dispatch software and video. For business customers, this means a broad range, with parts, accessories and updates available for many years.
Motorola portable radios
The current portable range goes from simple radios for small teams to models for critical operations and explosive atmospheres. Each page includes specifications, compatible accessories and a quotation form:
Digital DMR and analog, 64 channels and IP55. Recommended replacement for DEP450 and EP450 users.
DMR with artificial intelligence audio, IP67 and long battery life, in keypad and non-keypad versions.
Top of the portable MOTOTRBO range: IP68, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GNSS.

How to choose the right Motorola radio
The table summarizes how the technical team usually relates operational needs to Motorola two-way radio families. It is a starting point for discussion, not a rule:
| Need | Suggested family | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| First digital fleet, general use | Entry-level MOTOTRBO | R2, DEP250 |
| High noise and intensive use | Mid-range and advanced MOTOTRBO | R5, R7, DEP550 |
| Public-facing service and discretion | Slim range | SL500e |
| Harsh environment and critical operation | Rugged IP57 or higher | DGP5050, DGP8050, R7 |
| Explosive atmosphere | Radios certified for hazardous areas | R7Ex, DGP8550EX |
| Retail and hospitality without a station license | Digital at 900 MHz | DTR720 |
| Teams in multiple cities | PoC over cellular networks | TLK110, TLK25, Ion |
Other selection criteria include frequency band (VHF or UHF), compatibility with the company’s existing radios, battery life per shift, water and dust protection and features such as GPS, Bluetooth or man-down alerts. Also see UHF or VHF: which band to choose.
Motorola radio features that make a difference
Two similar-looking radios can have very different features. Those that matter most when choosing a Motorola business radio:
- Intelligent audio: models such as the R5 and R7 use audio processing to reduce background noise and adjust volume to the environment.
- IMPRES batteries: report battery status and extend service life when used with compatible chargers.
- Lone worker and man down: alerts for those working alone or at risk, depending on model and programming.
- GNSS (GPS): team location in compatible dispatch systems.
- Bluetooth and Wi-Fi: wireless earpieces and programming updates, depending on model.
- Protection rating (IP): from IP54 to IP68, depending on exposure to rain, dust and immersion.
The right combination of features depends on operational risk and budget. The proposal states what each Motorola two-way radio model offers and what is optional.
VHF, UHF, 900 MHz or cellular network
Frequency band is as important as model. UHF usually performs better inside buildings and urban areas; VHF performs better in open, rural areas. Radios at 900 MHz, such as the DTR720, serve retail and hospitality with station license exemption in the approved version. PoC radios use the cellular network to reach teams in different cities, provided coverage and data are available. Radios in different bands do not communicate directly; the band is therefore defined before purchase, considering the existing fleet.
Mixed fleet: migrating from analog to digital
Many companies have old analog radios and want to modernize without replacing everything at once. With Motorola MOTOTRBO radios, migration can happen in stages: new radios are programmed with analog channels to communicate with the old fleet and digital channels to communicate with each other. When the old fleet is retired, all operate digitally with the audio, battery and feature benefits. This planning is included in the proposal, based on brand, model and band of existing radios.
How many radios and batteries to buy
The count starts with people who need to speak simultaneously on each shift, not the total workforce. Add a maintenance and replacement reserve and, in 24-hour operations, consider extra batteries for those talking all shift and multi-unit chargers to organize charging. With this list, the technical team finalizes Motorola radio and accessory quantities in the proposal.
Motorola mobile radios, repeaters and PoC
When operations involve vehicles, fixed bases, long distances or teams spread across several cities, Motorola radio communications goes beyond portables:
DMR radio with LTE, touchscreen and camera.
PoC on the WAVE PTX platform, with LTE and Wi-Fi.
Wearable PoC, Wi-Fi and LTE versions, for service teams.
DMR mobile radio for vehicles and bases, 64 channels.
DMR and analog mobile radio, 128 channels and alphanumeric display.
Professional mobile radio for fleets and bases.
Compact IP65 repeater to extend coverage.
1U rack repeater, 1 to 50 W and continuous duty.
See all repeaters on the page for repeaters. For communication across cities over the cellular network, the platform WAVE PTX integrates PoC radios, mobile phones and dispatch.
What buying from ABC includes
When buying Motorola radios from ABC Mais Telecom, the proposal may include:
- Technical guidanceModel selection based on the operation: environment, noise, coverage, shifts and integration with the existing fleet.
- ProgrammingChannels, groups and features configured for the operation before delivery.
- Compatible accessoriesOriginal batteries, chargers, earpieces, microphones and antennas, checked for each radio.
- Installation where applicableMobile radios in vehicles and bases, repeaters and antennas, according to the project.
- Technical serviceDiagnosis, repair, programming and preventive maintenance after purchase.
- ProvenanceEquipment from the manufacturer’s official range, with an invoice and warranty under manufacturer terms.
Items and terms apply according to the approved proposal.
Motorola radio communication systems
For businesses with multiple sites or large areas, Motorola radios can operate in systems interconnecting repeaters over an IP network. The IP Site Connect extends coverage by connecting repeaters at different sites, and the Capacity Plus, with the Linked Capacity Plus version, increases capacity and coverage for many users. These projects begin with a technical survey; see the page for communication systems.
Discontinued models: service and replacements
Some well-known Motorola radios are discontinued but remain in use at many companies. ABC Mais Telecom maintains reference pages, technical service and accessories for them and suggests the current replacement:
- Motorola DEP450: discontinued; suggested replacement: Motorola R2.
- Motorola EP450: discontinued; suggested replacement: Motorola R2, which also operates in analog mode.
- Motorola DTR620: discontinued; suggested replacement: Motorola DTR720.
If the company has a mixed fleet of old and new radios, compatibility is checked in the proposal. Many MOTOTRBO models communicate with analog radios, allowing fleet replacement in stages. See the comparison DEP450 or Motorola R2.
Original Motorola accessories
Batteries, chargers, earpieces, lapel microphones and antennas make a difference in daily work. IMPRES batteries and original audio accessories are the most requested for Motorola radios. At ABC Mais Telecom, accessories appear on each radio’s page in the compatible accessories section, with item codes. Compatibility is checked in the proposal because not every accessory fits every model in the same family.
