The new MOTOTRBO R7Ex portable radio from Motorola Solutions marks a decisive step forward in safety and communication efficiency in critical environments. ATEX and IECEx certified, the R7Ex radio ensures reliability even in the presence of gas, dust, and extreme temperatures, delivering clear, powerful, and controlled communications.
Its distinctive blue casing is more than just a visual feature—it instantly identifies the device as safe for use in potentially explosive settings. And if a non-ATEX-certified battery is inserted, the radio automatically alerts the user, helping prevent dangerous situations.
Prioritizing Personnel Safety
Every day, thousands of workers operate in complex, high-risk environments where swift communication can make all the difference. The MOTOTRBO R7Ex actively protects workers by combining top-tier audio performance with advanced safety features.
Among its most distinctive features are the highly visible emergency button, the Lone Worker function for isolated personnel, and the automatic fall detection (Fall Alert), which can trigger alarms even when the worker is unable to do so manually. In emergencies, the radio can be quickly located outdoors via its integrated GNSS receiver or indoors through Bluetooth beacon compatibility, all managed via emergency dispatch systems like Turbonet and SmartPTT.
The controls are large and accessible, designed for use even with work gloves: knobs, buttons, and LEDs are visible and easy to identify. The V-shaped knobs facilitate quick channel selection and intuitive access to the emergency button.
Always Clear Communication
In environments like chemical plants, oil platforms, or manufacturing facilities, where noise complicates communication, the MOTOTRBO R7Ex ATEX radio stands out for its audio quality. The secret lies in a combination of smart technologies:
- AI-trained Noise Suppression: reduces background noise (machinery, traffic, wind) while distinguishing the human voice
- Automatic Gain Control: balances audio levels among different users, even with varying tones or distances from the mic
- Volume Boost up to 108 phons with a 2.5W speaker for audibility in very noisy settings
- Acoustic Feedback Suppression: eliminates the high-pitched squeals that occur when multiple radios are nearby
Audio quality is further enhanced by IMPRES™ technology, which automatically adjusts performance based on the accessory used. The R7Ex is also compatible with ATEX-certified headsets, ideal for hearing protection and clear conversations near noisy machinery.
Reliable Even in the Harshest Conditions
The R7Ex radio is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions: it is IP66/IP68 certified, making it fully waterproof and dustproof, and operates in a temperature range from -30°C to +60°C. Its resistance to disinfectants and compliance with MIL STD 810H testing make it suitable even for demanding scenarios.
More Efficiency, Less Downtime
The MOTOTRBO R7Ex is an intuitive radio, packed with features to streamline daily operations in high-intensity environments.
The built-in voice recording feature lets users replay up to five recent calls, while text message support with voice readout simplifies information exchange in crowded or noisy areas. NFC and RFID functionality eases asset management and device-user pairing, and with Wi-Fi connectivity, updates and configurations can be handled remotely without disrupting field operations.
Its high-capacity battery delivers up to 23.5 hours of runtime, making the R7Ex ideal for long shifts. With an advanced ecosystem that includes Bluetooth 5.2 for audio accessories and indoor positioning, GNSS, dual-band Wi-Fi, and ATEX-certified accessories, the radio integrates seamlessly into business processes, helping reduce downtime and enhance operational continuity.
