APX 8000XE and XE500: Designed For the Mission. Engineered For the Extreme.

The APX 8000XE is redefining mission critical communications by delivering an ultra-durable radio that combines unlimited interoperability, loud audio, and secure WiFi connectivity. When combined with the XE500 Remote Speaker Microphone, you get the ultimate intrinsically safe solution designed for safety personnel in extreme environments.

0:07 The one thing a fire chief worries about every night he goes home, he wants to make sure that every person on shift that day makes it home.

0:14 So we felt, let’s invest! Let's really figure out what it is that fire fighters need. What kind of environment are they in? What kind of challenges do they encounter? And let's go and design a purpose built series of devices and solutions.

0:3 In windy conditions, in noisy conditions, clear audio is paramount. And as firefighters we are in different positions all the time, we’re crawling, getting through tight spaces and we're able to now speak into this mic in any direction whether it's upside down, whether its facing you, whether it's hanging this way and get clear and concise mission critical voice.

0:51 The ability to suppress noise, at the right time, yet determine the noise that needs to get through, in other words the user's voice is something that the adaptive audio engine enables.

1:02 Programming over WiFi, I no longer have to touch over five hundred radios to just do a simple update.

1:09 No longer do I have to take equipment out of service. No longer do I have to send equipment over to the other side of town to the radio communications division. It really makes for a safer community.

1:18 The bluetooth capability in the XE8000’s, it shows that Motorola is thinking about the future.

1:23 There's no doubt that eventually all our air masks are going to have bluetooth capability, we’ll be able to communicate straight from the mask to the radio. And having that feature built into a radio today gives me comfort, to know that this radio is going to meet the demands of the future.

1:38 Today, one of the problems in the fire service is that we can we're so encapsulated that we can actually be in the heat too long because we don't know that is that hot until we start steaming from the inside out! Losing communications in them conditions put firefighters at risk.

1:53 The XE500 RSM also for example, has been designed to a much higher thermal temperature spec than any RSM in the past. The channel selector has been added to the XE500 RSM and this is in response to end users who had the need to be able to change channels during a fire ground operation.

2:14 The ability of this XE500 to change that at your chest or on your lapel is going to make that mission critical job of getting people out of fires that much more efficient.

2:25 They don't build a radio and then say how does this work? They say how do you work and let's build a radio for that.

2:31 When you combine the APX8000XE with the XE500 lapel mic, you have the complete package in a firefighter radio.
