MOTOTRBO R5 PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIOS
The Motorola R5 connects teams, helping boost efficiency and safety with loud, clear audio that cuts through background noise, plus intuitive status indications and controls so workers can focus on their tasks, all in a tough, compact device that’s built to last.
CUT THOUGH THE NOISE
The Motorola R5’s loud, clear audio helps the message get through the first time, whether conditions are noisy or quiet.
Loud
If workers struggle to hear messages over noisy vehicles, cheering crowds, or heavy machinery, safety and efficiency may be at risk. The R5’s powerful built-in speaker delivers loud audio, ensuring messages are heard above background noise, with an optional extra-loud audio profile offering up to 106 phons of loudness for extremely noisy environments. Additionally, a wide range of headsets and earpieces is available, allowing workers to receive messages discreetly or in high-noise settings.
Clear
The R5 features an advanced AI-trained noise suppression algorithm that ensures messages are transmitted clearly by reducing background noise. Its embedded software distinguishes the talker’s voice from surrounding sounds, such as vehicles, crowds, and machinery, retaining speech while significantly reducing ambient noise. Additionally, the MOTOTRBO R5’s low-distortion wideband speaker delivers loud and clear audio, helping to prevent miscommunication in challenging environments.
Consistent
The R5 is engineered to optimise audio performance across diverse workplace environments and worker profiles, eliminating the need for constant volume adjustments. Its IMPRES™ technology and Received Audio Levelling ensure consistent audio quality by compensating for variations in voice levels and microphone placement. Intelligent Audio further enhances usability by automatically adjusting output to prevent blaring messages or missed calls, seamlessly adapting to changing background noise or transitions between noisy and quiet environments.
FOCUS ON THE TASK
Optimised controls, tactile buttons and long battery runtime make R5 easy and intuitive to use all day long so workers can focus on their job, not their radio.
Optimised Controls
The R5’s intuitive controls ensure ease of use with minimal training, featuring large rotary volume and channel selector knobs that are simple to operate, even while wearing gloves. Its tactile push-to-talk (PTT) button delivers precise performance, while programmable buttons provide quick access to frequently used features. A dedicated orange emergency button allows for easy assistance calls, and the bright, clear display, configurable for two or three lines, shows icons to indicate radio status, catering to user preferences.
Long Talk-Time
The MOTOTRBO R5 is powered by compact, lightweight batteries that deliver exceptional runtime, lasting up to 32 hours on a single charge. The R5’s IMPRES battery performance is further enhanced when paired with an IMPRES charger, which optimises battery health and extends its usable lifespan, ensuring reliable operation across multiple work shifts.
Connected
Equipped with a built-in GNSS receiver*, the R5 enables real-time location tracking to improve worker coordination and enhance safety. Optional RFID and NFC tags expand its capabilities, supporting asset tracking, inventory management, and personnel identification. These features also allow the assignment of Motorola Solutions VB400 body cameras to specific radio users, further boosting operational productivity and accountability.
*Applicable UHF Limited Keypad (LKP) version only.
BUILT TO LAST
R5 has been designed to withstand the knocks and drops of the workplace so it will work as well in the future as it does today.
Durable
The Motorola R5 is built to perform reliably in harsh conditions, whether indoors or outdoors. Dust-tight and waterproof with an IP67 rating, it provides exceptional protection against dirt and water ingress. Additionally, it meets MIL-STD-810 standards, ensuring resilience against environmental challenges such as drops, vibration, temperature fluctuations, and humidity, making it a dependable choice for tough workplaces.
Resilient
Designed, tested, and built to the highest standards, the MOTOTRBO R5 is engineered for long-term performance. Its durability extends beyond initial use, with warranty and service coverage offering access to software updates and hardware repairs. This ensures that devices continue to operate at optimal levels, providing users with confidence in their equipment’s reliability over time.
Reliable
For everyday operations, users need equipment they can trust, and the MOTOTRBO R5 delivers. Undergoing Motorola’s rigorous Accelerated Lifecycle Testing (ALT), which simulates five years of use, the R5 proves its durability and reliability. This extensive testing ensures the device can handle real-world demands, giving users peace of mind that their radios will perform when they are needed most.
Safe
For hazardous environments, the MOTOTRBO R5 offers a safe solution with optional UL TIA4950 intrinsically safe (IS) certification. This certification makes it suitable for areas where flammable substances pose fire or explosion risks, helping to keep workers connected securely while prioritising their safety in potentially dangerous conditions.
AI Trained Noise Suppression
Motorola R5 features Artificial Intelligence trained noise reduction technology for advanced noise suppression of background noise.
– Level 1 refers to a noise suppression level that allows some background noise to be heard for contextual awareness.
– Level 2 refers to a noise suppression level that minimises background noise for clearer speech.
