Find your ideal
radio solution

Choose the option that most closely matches your situation.

Select the brand you're interested in. We provide detailed guided selection for brands where we hold a full model catalogue, and a quick capture for others — either way, we'll match you with a reseller who supports your choice. If you're not sure, or want a brand not listed, choose "Other / not sure".

Answer a few straightforward questions and we'll identify the right model, variant, and frequency band. You can add as many models as you need — portable and mobile — before completing your submission. There's no need to commit to one type at a time.

Hazardous areas include locations with flammable gases, vapours, or combustible dust — such as mines, oil refineries, chemical plants, or grain storage facilities.

VHF (136–174 MHz) typically offers longer range in open terrain. UHF (400–470 MHz) penetrates buildings better and is more common in urban and underground environments. If unsure, check with your existing system's documentation or reseller.

Both are ATEX/IECEx certified and available in VHF. The DP4801Ex adds a colour display, full keypad, and enhanced audio features.

A full keypad enables text messaging, contact browsing, and direct number entry. Without a keypad, channel selection is via the rotary knob — simpler to operate in gloves or harsh conditions.

The R5 Limited Keypad (LKP) has numeric keys for channel/zone access and limited text entry but is not alphanumeric. The No Keypad (NKP) version uses a rotary selector only.

The R7a is the budget no-keypad variant with no optional feature upgrades. The R7 NKP and FKP support Capable (optional extras) and Premium (fully loaded) configurations.

Think about how your team uses radios day-to-day — do they need to send messages, see caller information, or track location? Or is simple push-to-talk sufficient?

Both R2 variants share the same hardware. The analogue-only variant can be upgraded to digital DMR later by purchasing a software licence — no hardware swap needed.

The R5 Limited Keypad (LKP) has numeric keys for channel/zone access. It is not alphanumeric. The No Keypad (NKP) uses a rotary selector only — simpler to operate in tough conditions.

Capable models include standard features and allow optional extras (Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, indoor location) to be added via software licence at additional cost. Premium models include all features as standard — no additional licences needed.

Select all that apply. This determines whether a Capable (standard features, pay for extras) or Premium (all features included) variant is more cost-effective for your needs.

These features are available on the R5 LKP (Limited Keypad) variant only. AES256 encryption is not available on any R5 model.

AES256 is an advanced 256-bit encryption standard that provides the highest level of communication security. It is available as an optional software licence on all R7 variants. Basic privacy (16-bit) and enhanced privacy (40-bit) are included as standard.

This refers to how the radio system is configured — from simple direct or single-site operation through to large trunked networks. If you are not sure, select Conventional / IP Site Connect and discuss further with your reseller.

A spare battery allows continuous operation by swapping batteries when the primary is depleted. One spare battery per radio is included if selected. If you need additional batteries beyond one spare per radio, this can be specified in the accessories section.

VHF (136–174 MHz) gives longer range in open, rural terrain. UHF (400–527 MHz) penetrates buildings and structures better, making it the preferred choice for urban, industrial, and underground environments. If your existing system uses a specific band, match it.

Many orders include a mix — for example R7 NKP Premium for supervisors and R2 for general operatives.

Must match your licensed frequency. VHF generally suits open terrain; UHF suits built environments.

Motorola mobile radios come in three tiers. Higher tiers add system capability and features at higher cost. If you're unsure, your reseller will advise — but most operations on a budget start with Entry or Mid.

Choose the system these radios will run on. The options shown match the tier you selected.

Bluetooth, integrated GNSS/GPS, and WiFi are only available on the DM4401e and DM4601e models. If none are needed, the DM4400e or DM4600e (no display) are also valid options.

Choose the display type. The options shown match your selected tier.

High power gives greater range — recommended for vehicle use over large coverage areas. Low power suits short-range or indoor/base station use.

A few quick details — your matched reseller will confirm exact models, availability, and pricing. You don't need to know model numbers; a description is fine.

Beyond the devices themselves — for example accessories, programming, licensing help, maintenance or airtime, integration with an existing fleet, or any advice you'd like. Leave blank if not needed.

Give your best estimate — this helps your reseller prepare a suitable rental quote.

This is background for your reseller — rental is a conversation, and they'll advise on the right equipment and terms for your situation.

Count everyone who will carry a radio or device across all sites and shifts.

This means coverage provided by a commercial mobile operator (e.g. MTN, Vodacom, Airtel, Safaricom) that gives access to the internet. Private WiFi or private LTE networks on your site do not count for this question.

A private network — such as on-site WiFi, a campus network, or a privately operated LTE system — can support an on-premises PoC solution even where public cellular is unavailable. Public internet access is not required if the PoC server is hosted on your own infrastructure.

This covers operations like mining, oil & gas, security, or logistics where losing radio contact would halt work, breach safety obligations, or carry serious cost — and where communications cannot depend on infrastructure you don't control.

Wide-area urban or road-based coverage often suits a different technology to confined industrial sites.

The coverage radius helps determine whether a single repeater site is sufficient or whether a multi-site linked network is needed. A single site typically covers a radius of around 20–30 km in good, relatively flat conditions — and considerably less in hilly, built-up, or heavily wooded terrain. Antenna height, frequency band, and output power all affect real-world range, so treat this as a planning guide rather than a guarantee.

A radius beyond ~30 km usually points to multiple sites and is pre-selected for you — but you can choose multiple sites for a smaller area too (e.g. filling coverage gaps across a refinery or plant).

A talk group is a named channel or group — e.g. Management, Security, Maintenance. This applies equally to LMR radio systems and PoC platforms. On integrated LMR + PoC systems (e.g. TRBOnet), LMR and PoC talk groups can be linked so radio and smartphone users share the same channels seamlessly.

Count every call that could be active at the same moment — group calls and one-to-one private calls alike. Each one occupies a channel while it's in progress, so a private call between two people uses capacity just like a group call. Example: if Security and Management might be in two separate group calls while one supervisor makes a private call, that's 3 simultaneous calls. This determines whether a single repeater (max 2 at once) or multiple repeaters are needed.

You indicated good public cellular coverage in your extended operational area and that brief communications interruptions are acceptable. This means a PTT over Cellular (PoC) platform can reliably serve your expanded coverage area — without the cost of deploying additional repeater infrastructure at remote sites.

There's no wrong answer. PoC avoids new infrastructure and is quick to deploy, but carries an ongoing per-device subscription. Expanding your existing LMR keeps everything on infrastructure you own, with no recurring network fees — often preferred where the new area needs guaranteed coverage or where you'd rather not depend on cellular. Choose the approach that suits your operation.

Your matched reseller can discuss either in more detail. To revisit earlier answers, use ← Back.

Based on your answers, PTT over Cellular (PoC) is a strong technical fit and is our suggested starting point. But it isn't the only valid choice: a traditional radio (LMR) system remains entirely reasonable, particularly if you prefer to own your infrastructure outright or your budget favours a one-off purchase over an ongoing subscription. Both are legitimate — choose the one that fits your operation and your commercial preferences.

Cloud is simpler to set up — the provider hosts and manages everything on a monthly subscription. On-premises means you host the server on your own infrastructure, giving you full control. An on-premises server works on your private network even without internet, and can simultaneously serve devices on public cellular via a public IP address. Both options support LMR radio integration.

Some operations run PoC devices (smartphones, rugged PoC handhelds) alongside traditional LMR radios — whether radios you already have, or ones you plan to deploy. An integrated dispatcher platform links both on the same talk groups, so radio and PoC users hear each other seamlessly. If your operation is PoC-only with no two-way radios involved, choose "No". This works with both cloud and on-premises PoC hosting.

This helps us understand the complexity of your current setup and what expansion or replacement would involve.

Bridging PoC and two-way radio depends on the specifics — this helps your reseller scope the right dispatch/integration platform. For example: which PoC provider or app you use, how many PoC users vs radio users, and what you want them to share (talk groups, dispatch, recording).

You've told us your expansion is about adding more radios rather than extending coverage or system capacity — so there's no need to size a whole system. We'll take you straight to choosing the right devices, and your reseller will make sure they work with your existing setup.

This helps us determine whether extending your system with a PoC (Push-to-Talk over Cellular) integration is a viable option alongside your existing LMR network.

Business-critical operations — where communications cannot depend on infrastructure you don't control, and an outage would halt work or carry serious cost — call for dedicated LMR infrastructure rather than cellular-dependent solutions.

A quick picture of what's growing — your reseller will size the exact equipment. Tick whatever applies; nothing here is binding.

A rough guide: a single site typically covers up to ~30 km radius; wider areas, or filling coverage gaps, usually need multiple sites. Your reseller will confirm.

Terrain affects antenna type, height, and whether a site survey will be needed to confirm coverage. This information will be passed to your matched reseller.

This affects antenna specification, enclosure requirements, and the type of radio devices recommended. Pick the option that best describes your main environment — and if any part of your operation is underground or in confined spaces, add that below.

Does any part of your operation also take place underground or in confined spaces?

This is where one radio dials another directly, rather than broadcasting to the whole group. Note: a private call uses a channel for its duration just like a group call — so if private calls will happen often at the same time as group calls, make sure your earlier "maximum simultaneous calls" figure accounts for them.

Dispatching lets a controller manage radio users from a central screen. GNSS/GPS shows your team's location in real time.

A dispatcher position is a supervisor workstation that monitors and manages radio users on a map or console screen.

Vehicular radios are mounted in a vehicle with the control head on the dashboard. Additional accessories include a vehicle antenna, coaxial cable, and mounting hardware — these will be reflected in your cost summary.

Desktop (base station) radios are mains-powered units for fixed locations such as offices, gatehouse, or control rooms. They require an external antenna, feedline cable, power supply, and lightning protection (polyphaser) — these will be reflected in your cost summary.

Spare batteries quoted alongside radios may be priced differently to batteries ordered independently. Flagging this now helps your reseller provide an accurate quote. One spare per radio is assumed — additional quantities can be specified in the accessories section.

Things like masts or towers, antennas, equipment shelters or cabins, power (solar/batteries), or even radios may be reusable. This is background for your reseller — it can materially affect the design and cost of your replacement. From here we'll take you through the same guided assessment as a new system.

This determines the type of frequency licence required. If you are unsure, your reseller will advise — select the option that best describes your intended or existing system.
