Rugged and safe, the radio you want by your side for
Mission Critical Communications

ONE MILLION AND COUNTING…
Motorola is the leader in TETRA terminals
• Motorola has sold 1 million terminals, nearly twice as many as our nearest competitor.
• Motorola has the broadest portfolio of TETRA terminals, including ATEX, Covert, and
radios optimised for Commercial and Enterprise users.
MTP850 S TETRA TERMINAL
We test our terminals in
our labs, not on our
Customers
Motorola has been designing Mission Critical
Communications for over 70 years and if
there’s one thing we’ve learned it’s that Public
Safety is a tough plac e to be.
Not just in the obvious places, like the fires or
the major incidents, but it’s a tough place
every si ngle day.
It’s that experience that has taught us that all
of our produc ts ne ed to be tough, ‘eve ry single
day’ tough.
That’s why we came
up with our
Accelerated Life
Testing
Our ALT™ and other
programmes test our
radios to simulate a full
five years of hard use.
Five years worth of being
dropped, bashed,
shaken, heated, frozen,
shocked, and soaked;
And that’s not just five
‘consumer’ years, but
five ‘mission critical’
years of hard use.
Durability is only one half
of the story, we test for
toughness too. Here are
a couple of examples of
standard tests that all,
not just our rugged ones,
terminals have to
exceed;
• Thermal Shock Test
- Frozen to -57°C for
two hours, them heated
to +80 °C in less than
fifteen seconds and
kept there for a further
two hours. This is then
repeated a further five
times in 24 hours.
• Drop Test - Dropped
from a height of 1.2
meters on each of the
six faces of the radio
onto a smooth concrete
or steel surface. This is
repeated and only
passes if the terminal
continues to function
throughout the test and
this includes the battery
not falling off and
providing continuous
power to the terminal.
