The device is not a substitute for mandatory marine VHF or GMDSS if not properly configured/certified, but can serve as a specialized internal communication solution within marine operations systems.

All-band P25 radio for the marine environment

APX NEXT supports communication modes such as APCO P25 Phase 1 FDMA, and VHF, UHF Range 1, UHF Range 2, 700 MHz, and 800 MHz, offering flexibility across various professional radio systems.For marine environments such as seaports, docks, warehouses, offshore support vessels, or coordination centers, the all-band capability makes the device suitable for multi-group, multi-area, and multi-network infrastructure communication models.

Rugged design for harsh conditions

Rugged design for harsh conditions

Motorola Solutions describes the APX NEXT as a device designed to military standards, with a reinforced glass screen that can be operated while wearing gloves, in rain, dust, and snow. The device also features tactile control buttons for quick operation in high-pressure environments.

In maritime environments, this is crucial as users often work in wet conditions, vibration, strong winds, grease, salt dust, or must wear protective gloves when operating on deck, in workshops, or port areas.

Glove-compatible touch screen

APX NEXT All-Band P25 Smart Radio19-inch3.6 inch touch screen with a resolution of touchscreen with a resolution of , 24-bit color display, and uses , 24-bit color display, and . The screen can be operated with gloves up to 4 mm thick and minimizes false activations due to fresh water, saltwater, snow, ice, dirt, or grease.

The device also features a 1.2 inch color sub-display on top, providing quick visibility of icons, status, and critical information while users are on the move or working in operational areas.

Loud audio and intelligent noise suppression

In the maritime industry, noise from main engines, generators, pumps, cranes, forklifts, outdoor wind on deck, or cargo handling areas can affect communication quality. APX NEXT is equipped with speaker, 2 digital mics and Intelligent Noise Reduction. speaker, 2 digital microphones, adaptive noise suppression, adaptive gain control, adaptive windporting, and Intelligent Noise Reduction.

This allows the device to support clearer audio transmission and reception in noisy areas such as engine rooms, docks, cargo decks, warehouses, or offshore areas.

SmartConnect

APX NEXTGNSS Positioning and Smart ApplicationsGNSS includes GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and A-GPS. The device also supports SmartLocate, Indoor Positioning, Mission-critical Geofence, and SmartMapping depending on the system configuration.

In maritime operations, the positioning and mapping features can assist the control center in tracking the location of personnel, technical teams, security teams, or incident response teams at the port, on large vessels, or in offshore areas.

ViQi Voice Interaction and RadioCentral management

APX NEXTallowing easy connection with compatible devices in the cockpit system.ViQi Voice Interaction, allowing users to operate via configurable voice commands, and also supports intelligent applications such as SmartMessaging, SmartIncident, SmartMapping, and SmartLocate. Motorola also describes RadioCentral as a platform that helps prepare, update, and manage radio fleets more effectively.

For maritime businesses with multiple devices, multiple shifts, and multiple operating teams, RadioCentral and SmartProgramming help to more synchronously configure, update, and manage radios.

Suitable for Cruise, Energy, Merchant, and Ferry.
