Description
The XTS 2500/2250/1500 radios are among the most sophisticated two-way radios
available.
These radios provide improved voice quality across more coverage area. The
digital process, called “embedded signalling,” intermixes system signalling
information with digital voice, resulting in improved system reliability, and the
capability of supporting a multitude of advanced features. Such features add up to
better, more cost-effective two-way radio communications.
The XTS 2500/2250/1500 radios are available in four basic models. Table 1
describes their basic features.
FLASHport The XTS 2500/2250/1500 radios utilize Motorola’s revolutionary FLASHport™
technology. FLASHport makes it possible to add software that drives the radio’s
capabilities both at the time of purchase and later on. Previously, changing a
radio’s features and capabilities meant significant modifications, or buying a new
radio. But now, just as a computer can be loaded with different software, the radio’s
features and capabilities can be upgraded with FLASHport software.
