Motorola EVX-S24: Waterproof Precision in a Compact Design

For professionals in hospitality, education, and manufacturing, heavy radios are a burden, but fragile radios are a liability. The Motorola EVX-S24 strikes the perfect balance. It is small enough to fit in a pocket, yet tough enough to survive full submersion in water. As a hybrid analog and digital DMR radio, it allows you to upgrade to crystal-clear digital audio and extended battery life without sacrificing the rugged durability your environment demands.

Small Size, Massive Durability

The Motorola EVX-S24 redefines what a portable radio can handle. Unlike standard "weather-resistant" models, this device carries an industrial IP67 rating. It can be dropped in a pool, left in the rain, or buried in dust, and it will keep communicating. It is the ultimate tool for lifeguards, construction crews, and housekeeping staff who encounter wet or dirty conditions daily.

• Fully Submersible (IP67): Engineered to withstand submersion in up to 3 feet of water for 30 minutes, ensuring total protection against rain, splashes, and accidental drops.
• Digital Audio Clarity: Operates on the DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) standard, which filters out static and background noise, delivering voice quality that stays crisp at the edge of your range.
• Dual-Mode Migration: Works seamlessly with your existing analog radios today, allowing you to transition to digital channels at your own pace.
• Shift-Long Battery Life: Digital efficiency extends battery performance, providing up to 12 hours of uptime on a single charge.
• Direct Call & Text: The 8-character display allows for selective calling (reaching a single person) and basic text messaging, reducing unnecessary chatter on the main channel.

Who Should Choose the EVX-S24?

The Motorola EVX-S24 is purpose-built for industries where size and survivability are critical:

• Aquatics & Hospitality: Lifeguards and pool maintenance staff need a radio that survives water exposure. The EVX-S24 is the industry standard for these wet environments.
• Education Campuses: Lightweight and unobtrusive for teachers, yet durable enough for maintenance and security staff.
• Construction & Manufacturing: The high-visibility design (available in yellow) and dust-proof casing make it easy to locate and hard to break on job sites.
• Healthcare Facilities: The compact form factor is easy to sanitize and comfortable to wear for 12-hour nursing shifts.
