Orlando Police upgrades public safety communications

Florida’s Orlando Police Department is deploying 950 APX NEXT radios from Motorola Solutions to provide officer and community safety with voice communications as well as everyday access to crucial police applications and databases.

Combined Project 25 (P25) radio connectivity with Long-Term Evolution (LTE) broadband capabilities allows officers to travel outside the radio network’s coverage area while maintaining voice communication and access to information without interruption. Integration with Orlando Police Department’s Crime Center enables access to records systems.

Built-in public safety applications, such as mapping, track the location of officers to shorten response times and enhance safety in emergencies.

A large, intuitive touch screen provides the ability to upload information from the field, as well as to search and review police databases, including imagery and video footage.

The Orlando Police Department joins Broward County Sheriff’s Office, Collier County Sheriff’s Office, the City of Tallahassee and more to become the 36th agency in Florida to invest in APX NEXT for public safety communications.
