Overview
Enhanced Security Features
Security is paramount with multiple encryption levels protecting voice and data communications from eavesdropping. P25 Radio Authentication restricts system access to authorized users, complemented by two-factor authentication for secure database logins.
SmartConnect: Extended Coverage Capability
Equipped with SmartConnect, the APX 6500 can reroute P25 voice and data communications over broadband via built-in Wi-Fi or tethered LTE/satellite routers. This feature ensures connectivity even outside traditional P25 coverage areas, keeping your team connected wherever they go.
Built-in Wi-Fi for Seamless Updates
With built-in Wi-Fi, the APX 6500 supports over-the-air updates for codeplugs, firmware, and software features without interrupting voice communications. This capability keeps your team current and operational with minimal downtime.
Flexible Installation and Support Options
The APX 6500’s small form factor allows for easy installation across various vehicles and settings. Choose from interchangeable control heads to suit operational needs, including dual control head configurations for enhanced radio access within large vehicles like fire trucks.
