Capabilities
Advanced mission-critical voice and data
Rugged to the core. Ready for firefighters to operate in extreme environments. Exaggerated controls, now paired with a tough touchscreen to work with or without gloves. And building on class leading audio technology to ensure that you can hear and be heard. SmartConnect keeps you connected when you’re outside radio coverage, and IMPRES2 batteries keep your lifeline powered for up to 18 hours. The result – a firefighter radio that works when you need it, without pause, distraction or doubt.
Natural user interface
For technology to really be useful, it has to be more than just operational – it needs to be effortless to use in even the most chaotic situations. Every interaction is simple, fast and logical so you can stay focused on what matters—your call and your safety. APX NEXT XE allows for essential operation by conventional hard controls, touchscreen soft controls, and eyes-up voice control giving you the flexibility to communicate and receive information how you need it as the call evolves.
Mobile access to intelligence
APX NEXT XE application services bring new intelligence to the field. Additions such as ViQi, SmartMessaging, SmartMapping, and SmartLocate quickly give firefighters and first responders vital information, from pin point location details to the sharing of important multimedia. And as part of our unique, end-to-end public safety ecosystem, APX NEXT XE data and operations are secure, and new capabilities can be seamlessly added as your needs evolve.
Radio fleet provisioning & updating in minutes
APX NEXT XE gives back time. RadioCentral prepares radios before they arrive. SmartProgramming enables remote updates to keep radios up-to-date in the field, with zero touch and zero downtime. MyView Portal provides direct access to subscriptions, entitlements, warranties and licenses to administer your fleet, and a range of services helps you to manage your operation. With APX NEXT XE, your ownership experience is streamlined, so your most valuable resources stay focused and ready.
