Connectivity
This section explains the management of connections between your radio and a variety of networks
and other devices.
16.1
LTE
Your radio is set up with Long Term Evolution (LTE) broadband connection to enable Smart
Programming out-of-the box, and also the SmartConnect and SmartLocate features.
The LTE SIM is installed into the radio at the Motorola Solutions factory and locked to the specific
radio, so it cannot operate in any other radio or device. The SIM is located at a slot in the rear chassis.
Do not remove the SIM, even if LTE is not active or in use.
16.2
SmartConnect
SmartConnect allows your radio to maintain voice communication when LMR is out of range by
switching to an LTE network.
Before switching broadband connections, your radio compares the relative signal strength of the
various broadband connection types to one another, as well as LMR. Your radio remains or returns to
LMR connection when the other broadband connections fall below the quality threshold. In addition, a
radio operating on a lower priority broadband connection returns to the higher priority or quality
connection while idle on SmartConnect.
NOTICE: This feature must be preprogrammed by a qualified radio technician. Contact your
system administrator for more information.
Your radio displays the SmartConnect capable icon on the SmartConnect enabled channel, once
the device is connected to an available network, the radio displays SmartConnect connection icon
.
Your radio displays Out of Range when both LMR and SmartConnect are unavailable.
16.3
Wi-Fi
You can connect your radio to a Wi-Fi network for wireless programming. Your service administrator
preprograms the Wi-Fi Service Set Identifier (SSID) or network name that your radio can connect to.
This feature is enabled by default on your radio.
16.4
Bluetooth
®
This feature allows your radio to extend its functionality by connecting to external proprietary Motorola
Solutions accessories.
