Understanding LTE Communication vs Traditional Radio

Unlike traditional two-way radios that rely on local radio frequencies (UHF or VHF), the Motorola Evolve uses LTE and Wi-Fi networks to provide virtually unlimited communication range. This allows teams to communicate across cities, regions or even globally without the need for repeaters or radio infrastructure.

While traditional radios offer instant local communication, LTE devices like the Evolve provide enhanced capabilities including multimedia messaging, application integration and real-time data sharing, making them ideal for modern connected workforces.

Device Setup & Configuration Options

The Motorola Evolve can be supplied ready for deployment with SIM configuration and application setup. Airacom can also configure the device to your operational requirements, including push-to-talk services, user groups and application integration.

Configuration services include device provisioning, software setup and network integration. This is available as an optional service to ensure your devices are fully optimised for your business operations.

System Compatibility & Scalability

The Motorola Evolve integrates seamlessly with Motorola’s WAVE PTX platform and other broadband communication solutions, providing scalability for organisations of all sizes.

• WAVE PTX Integration: Nationwide push-to-talk communication over LTE
• Cross-Platform Communication: Connect radios, smartphones and devices together
• Scalable Deployment: Easily expand communication across multiple teams and locations

This makes the Evolve an ideal solution for organisations looking to modernise communication systems with broadband-enabled devices.
