Over 25 YEARS in the Two-Way Radio Industry!

Radios for Pharmaceutical

Two-way radios for pharmaceutical labs, cleanroom support areas, packaging halls and warehouse, chosen for the three things that actually decide the purchase here: a slim, wearable form that works under gowning, an ingress rating that survives a wipe-down rota, and audio that carries over a filler line. The Motorola CLP1080e covers lab and gowned staff at 2.38 oz with VOX hands-free operation, the IP67 Motorola EVX-S24 handles wet and washdown areas, and the Motorola R2 covers plant and utilities with SINC+ noise cancellation.

These are standard commercial two-way radios for non-classified and controlled-not-classified areas. Nothing here is cleanroom-rated, sterilisable, or certified to any ISO 14644 class, and a two-way radio is not an environmental-monitoring system, not a GMP control, and not part of a validated process. Whether a radio may enter a classified suite is a decision for your quality unit. Read the pharmaceutical radio buying guide.

How to choose a pharmaceutical two-way radio

A pharmaceutical site is three radio environments, not one. A QC lab needs something small and quiet enough to work at a bench. A gowned operator needs a radio that can be worn under coveralls and worked without fine motor control. A packaging hall needs volume, battery and sealing. Use the Lab, Cleanroom and Plant filters above to see the models we recommend for each.

Licensing

The CLP, SL, EVX-S24 and R2 models operate on FCC Part 90 business frequencies and need a business radio license. The CURVE DLR110 runs license-free on the 902–928 MHz ISM band. The TLK25 runs over Wi-Fi and LTE, so no FCC license applies but a WAVE PTX service plan does. Many pharmaceutical sites already hold a Part 90 license from an older fleet — ask facilities before filing anything new. We handle licensing and programming as part of the order.

Cleaning and IP ratings

An IP rating describes ingress protection under a defined test. It says nothing about chemical compatibility, particulate shedding, or whether a surface can be disinfected to any standard. In this lineup the EVX-S24 is IP67 and submersible, the R2 is IP55, the CLP1080e, SL300 and SL3500e are IP54, and the CURVE DLR110 is IP52. Check the cleaning agent against the manufacturer's guidance and remember that earpieces and cables are harder to clean than the housing.
