ASTRO 25 TWO-WAY RADIO APPLICATIONS
Highlighting the most reliable and efficient application solution for ASTRO 25 subscriber radio products to meet
each customer’s need.
APX ™ P25 PERSONNEL ACCOUNTABILITY
Created and designed for fire safety personnel and battalion officers, APX P25 Personnel Accountability is an integrated solution that provides a
cohesive report and improves responder safety. A NIMS compliant based solution, APX Accountability allows for better roll call integration, integrated
graphical user interface (GUI) and Personnel Accountability Report (PAR) timers based on when agencies arrive on scene and when key events have
occurred on scene.

USER-FRIENDLY GUI
Partnering with Systems Definition Inc., we developed a new, streamlined GUI that
integrates multiple tasks on a single screen. Now, incident commanders can manage
all of their tasks – conducting roll call, monitoring PAR checks and issuing evacuation
notifications – from the convenience of one user-friendly screen.

ROLL CALL ALERT

With advanced features such as roll-call accountability, you no longer have to
acknowledge your status with a voice-based response. Simply open the roll call
window from the laptop at incident command to initiate an accountability roll call.
Each responder acknowledges the Incident Commander’s request for PAR from their
APX series portable radios; they simply press the PTT button to acknowledge. Incident
command receives confirmation of who has acknowledged the roll call and a count of
those yet to respond. As a result, they not only have better accountability of personnel
but the solution significantly reduces cycle time on PAR checks throughout the incident.

MAN DOWN ALERT

An optional, automatic Man Down alert on APX series P25 portable two-way
radios adds another valuable level of safety. The on-board accelerometer in
the radio monitors an individual’s movement and orientation. If a responder is
motionless or in a horizontal position for a predetermined amount of time, the APX
portable radio will automatically transmit an emergency alert, notifying incident
command that the responder is in distress.

APX ™ RADIO MANAGEMENT

The APX CPS Management application can program up to 16 radios at one time and track which radios have been successfully programmed,
providing a clear view of the entire radio fleet and a codeplug history for each radio.

ACCESS AND SHARE CODEPLUGS

When codeplug updates occur, the radio codeplug database can be stored on a network server allowing remote programmers to access and program
radios and share a codeplug template across multiple radios. Changes to codeplug templates can be automatically applied to all affected radios
while radio programming jobs can be scheduled ahead of time giving you more flexibility and operational efficiency.

MINIMIZE DOWNTIME
Save time and fuel by programming radios either via a USB port on a local or remote PC, or with Over-the-Air-Programming (OTAP) on a Project 25
system. With USB programming, a Device Programmer application resides on a PC and you can connect up to 16 radios via a USB hub to expedite
the programming. To read/write multiple radios through a single computer or USB hub, the radios must be programmed with a unique IP address the
first time they are read/written.
No application knowledge or application interaction is necessary by the user to program a radio with the Device Programmer application. The user
simply plugs the radio into a USB port and the application automatically reads and writes the updates from the server to the radio.
Radio Management batch programming of APX radios via OTAP can only occur with a Motorola Solutions ASTRO® 25 Project 25 system, which
has voice priority over data, so a user’s call, emergency notifications or critical communications will not be interrupted with OTAP. Should an OTAP
session be interrupted with communications, programming will resume after the call without the need to restart, expediting the process.
