Connectivity
This section explains the management of connections between your radio and a variety of networks
and other devices.
14.1
SmartConnect
SmartConnect allows your radio to maintain voice communication when Land Mobile Radio (LMR)
is out of range by switching to a Wi-Fi, LTE through Tethered Data Modem and Satellite through
Ethernet. Before switching broadband connections, your radio compares the relative signal strength of
the various broadband connection types to one another, as well as Land Mobile Radio (LMR).
Your radio remains or returns to LMR connection when the other broadband connections fall below
the quality threshold. A radio operating on a lower priority broadband connection returns to the higher
priority or quality connection while idle on SmartConnect.
Your radio can connect through a fixed Wi-Fi access point in buildings or in-vehicle Broadband
modem. Examples are such as the following modems:
• Motorola Solutions VML750
• Sierra Wireless MP70
• Sierra Wireless GX450
Your radio displays the SmartConnect capable icon on the SmartConnect enabled channel.
When connected to an available network, your radio displays SmartConnect connection icon .
Your radio displays Out of Range when both LMR and SmartConnect are unavailable.
NOTE:
This feature must be programmed by a qualified radio technician. For more information, contact
your system administrator.
The Searching Site display is only visible on the radio when you enable this feature through the
Customer Programming Software (CPS).
14.2
Wi-Fi
You can connect your radio to a Wi-Fi network for wireless programming and SmartConnect features.
Your service administrator programs the Wi-Fi Service Set Identifier (SSID) or network name that your
radio can connect to.
