On October 12, 2015, Motorola will no longer manufacture four of its analog two-way radios (walkie-talkies). This move is expected to encourage users to migrate to superior digital technologies, which provide added operating and performance benefits.
Analog has been the primary technology for two-way radios since the 1930s and it has delivered proven reliability and economy. However, the analog signal has significant limitations and the scope of functional innovations is virtually exhausted. The robust MOTOTRBO line is Motorola’s next-generation system of digital portable and mobile ra
Intrinsically Safe two-way radios (walkie-talkies) approved to the FM3610_88 standard may only be manufactured through the end of December 2015.
The FM3610_88 expired in 2012 and affects products from all Land Mobile Radio manufacturers, that are certified to this standard. There are no known safety issues with two-way radios certified under the FM3610_88 standard. FM approved radios that are deployed in the field will maintain their FM Intrinsically Safe approval status.
Motorola is adapting to a new TIA-4950 standard for Hazardous Location certification of two-way radios, which is similar

If you’re buying two-way radios (walkie-talkies) for your organization, you need to do it right and get an FCC license. If you don’t, you’re probably breaking the law.* Besides, there are also ample rewards for operating your radios by the book. For example, you have recourse if other radio operators are making a nuisance of themselves on channels assigned to you. If you’re unlicensed, you’re out of luck.
Though people can find plenty to gripe about when it comes to the government, wireless communication is one place where we need an agency to set rules t
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has added more teeth to its edict requiring business radio users to migrate to narrow band frequencies. If you have not heard of narrowbanding before, FCC regulations mandate that all “Part 90” business, education, industrial, public safety; and local and state government two-way radio system licensees currently operating legacy wideband (25 kHz) radio systems must make the transition to the narrowband technology (12.5 kHz).
With the narrowband conversion deadline of January 2013 fading into memory, the FCC is now telling coordinator companies wh
Companies and organizations that use high-tech, digital two-way radio (walkie-talkie) networks can’t afford to let communications equipment failures threaten their mission goals. That’s why BearCom is launching a new Network Operations Center (NOC), which scans enterprise two-way radio infrastructure for any hints of potential malfunctions.
“To protect and optimize their communications investment, the BearCom NOC is vital to companies with two-way radio systems,” said BearCom President and CEO Jerry Denham. “With the NOC, our technicians identify issues early and then enable solut
