The MOTOTRBO ION marks a paradigm shift in enterprise communication, engineered to solve the pervasive "two-device problem." Frontline workers are often burdened with carrying both a reliable two-way radio for voice and a separate smartphone for data. The ION fundamentally redefines professional mobile communication by merging renowned Push-to-Talk (PTT) performance with the versatile data capabilities of an open Android application ecosystem. This single, ruggedized device unifies voice, broadband data, and operational workflows to enhance productivity, elevate worker safety, and drive new efficiencies.
One Device, Infinite Possibilities: The "All-On" Advantage
The ION is built on Motorola's foundational "All-On" philosophy, a framework ensuring every critical aspect of the device is always active and optimized for the enterprise user.
Apps Are On: An Open Android Ecosystem
Go beyond voice with a device that runs on an open Android platform with full Google Mobile Services (GMS) certification, providing access to the entire Google Play Store. This enables the integration of business-critical applications on a single device powered by a 13 MP camera, 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of expandable internal storage.
-
Digitize Workflows: Run sophisticated applications for work order and ticket management, allowing technicians to receive jobs, scan assets, attach photos, and close tickets in real-time.
-
Advanced Scanning: Leverage an enterprise-grade barcode scanning partnership with Scandit, optimized for the 13 MP camera and triggerable via a programmable button.
-
Unified Communications: Install the WAVE PTX application to extend PTT communication to team members on smartphones, PCs, or other devices, regardless of their location.
Dependability Is On: Engineered for Extreme Environments
The ION is purpose-built to thrive where consumer devices fail, delivering a significantly lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by minimizing failures and lost productivity.
-
Uncompromising Ruggedness: The device carries an IP68 rating, signifying it is completely sealed against dust and can withstand submersion in 2 meters of water for up to 2 hours. It also complies with U.S. Military Standard MIL-STD-810 for resilience against drops, shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures.
-
Glove-Operable Touchscreen: The 4-inch, high-resolution display is protected by Gorilla Glass and remains fully functional when operated with gloves up to 4 mm thick or when exposed to water, snow, or grease.
-
Intrinsically Safe (IS) Option: For industries like oil and gas or mining, an optional IS configuration is available, certified to the TIA-4950 standard for safe use in a wide range of hazardous locations.
Connectivity Is On: Always Connected, Always Covered
The ION ensures unwavering connectivity by integrating best-in-class radio and broadband technologies, automatically switching to maintain constant communication.
-
Seamless Voice Handover: This innovative technology provides a transparent and automatic bridge between DMR radio and broadband (LTE/Wi-Fi) networks. When a user moves beyond DMR coverage, their PTT call automatically continues over broadband without any user intervention, preserving all radio functionality.
-
True Network Redundancy: The ION integrates mission-critical DMR, public and private LTE (including FirstNet and CBRS), and dual-band Wi-Fi. This layered connectivity ensures critical communications have multiple paths to get through when a single network fails.
Uptime Is On: Revolutionary Device Management
Maximize the time your devices spend in the field with a revolutionary ownership experience. Using cloud-based configuration and remote over-the-air updates, the ION minimizes physical handling and IT management overhead, drastically reducing downtime.
Security Is On: Defense-in-Depth Protection
Recognizing the risks of connecting enterprise devices to broadband, the ION employs a multi-layered, defense-in-depth security approach to protect against unauthorized access and malicious activity.
By unifying mission-critical PTT with a secure, open application platform, the MOTOTRBO ION empowers your workforce with real-time intelligence and represents an essential investment for any organization seeking to modernize its mobile operations.
