Motorola R7 Full-Keypad TIA Capable UHF

Product description

Motorola R7 UHF TIA4950 for advanced professional radio communication

The Motorola R7 UHF TIA4950 combines professional UHF communications, a full keypad and colour display in a rugged portable radio designed for demanding working environments. Its digital and analogue operation makes it suitable for established radio networks as well as organisations migrating towards MOTOTRBO digital communications.

This configuration adds a TIA4950 rating for intrinsically safe operation in corresponding hazardous environments, while IP66 and IP68 protection helps the radio withstand intensive everyday use.

Full keypad and colour screen for advanced users

Unlike the no-keypad version, this R7 provides a full keypad and 2.4-inch QVGA colour display. The screen supports up to 10 lines of text, giving users clear access to information and compatible messaging functions.

A capacity of up to 1,000 channels makes this version particularly useful for organisations operating multiple teams, departments, sites or talk groups within the same radio infrastructure.

TIA4950 rating for hazardous environments

This configuration is TIA4950 rated for intrinsically safe operation when deployed with the appropriate approved battery and accessories. This makes it suitable for corresponding professional environments where radio equipment must meet specific requirements to minimise ignition risks.

The supplied 3400 mAh Li-Ion battery is also specified as TIA4950 rated, helping maintain the required configuration when the radio is correctly equipped and deployed.

Clear audio in challenging workplaces

The R7 is engineered around professional voice communications. Enhanced Noise Cancellation helps suppress distracting background sound, supporting clearer conversations in industrial, construction and other noisy working environments.

Receive Audio Levelling helps maintain consistent incoming volume, while additional audio processing functions are designed to keep speech intelligible as surrounding conditions change.

IP68 protection for intensive daily use

The radio meets IP66 and IP68 protection standards, providing complete protection against dust as well as resistance to powerful water jets and immersion. Motorola specifies IP68 protection for immersion at depths of up to 2 metres for up to 2 hours under its defined test conditions.

The R7 is also tested against MIL-STD-810 requirements, making it suitable for organisations that need communication equipment capable of handling demanding professional environments.

Digital and analogue radio operation

Support for analogue conventional and digital conventional communications gives businesses flexibility when upgrading existing radio fleets. Organisations can retain compatible analogue infrastructure while progressively introducing MOTOTRBO digital capabilities.

The platform also supports professional MOTOTRBO systems including IP Site Connect and Capacity Plus, providing options for larger and more sophisticated radio deployments.

Extended battery life for long shifts

The supplied 3400 mAh Li-Ion battery supports extended operating periods, with this Onedirect configuration specified for up to 28 hours of battery life. This reduces the need for charging or battery changes during long working shifts.

An IMPRES charger is included, providing a professional charging solution suitable for regular workplace deployment.

Upgradeable connectivity and location functions

This capable configuration can be upgraded with additional functions including Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi and GNSS. This enables organisations to expand the radio's capabilities as operational requirements develop without necessarily moving to a different radio platform.

The R7 platform also supports functions such as Remote Monitor, text messaging, radio disable and programmable controls for more flexible professional communications.

Use cases and compatibility

The Motorola R7 UHF TIA4950 Full Keypad is designed for industrial sites, construction, manufacturing, utilities and other demanding professional operations requiring licensed UHF communications. It supports analogue and MOTOTRBO digital infrastructures, including IP Site Connect and Capacity Plus. Approved TIA4950 batteries and accessories should be used where intrinsically safe operation must be maintained.
