Working together with firefighters around the world, Motorola Solutions designed the APX™ Extreme Series, a complete portfolio of ergonomically advanced, ultra-rugged radios and accessories that is safe, easy and efficient to use. With over eighty years of experience in ergonomics, design and technology for public safety, the APX XE Series is the culmination of cross-disciplines and user input.

Firefighters told Motorola Solutions they wanted equivalent extreme features as the APX Extreme Series including a larger display, exaggerated control knobs, and the capability to communicate with surrounding municipalities within an all-band radio solution. The APX 8000XE brings together not only these requirements, but also the integration of Wi-Fi® for programming flexibility.

The APX 8000XE is redefining mission-critical communications by delivering an ultra-durable radio that combines unlimited interoperability, loud audio, and secure Wi-Fi connectivity. With a dedicated channel knob and ability to withstand 500 degrees heat exposure, the APX XE500 Remote Speaker Microphone is the perfect companion to the APX 8000XE. When combined, the APX 8000XE All-Band Portable Radio and XE500 Remote Speaker Microphone create the ultimate mission-critical solution designed for safety personnel in extreme environments.

Unlimited mobility

With a 4-in-1 radio, you now have the ability to stay connected and expand voice and data communications across multiple agencies with one device. Improve response time by instantly operating on digital or analog networks, in 7/800, VHF, UHF Range 1 and 2 bands at any given time.

Hear and be heard

The APX 8000XE is equipped with a 3-Watt speaker, 3 integrated microphones and Adaptive Audio Engine. This changes the level of noise suppression, microphone gain, windporting and speaker equalization to produce clear and loud audio in any environment

Voice And Data, All At Once

Update your radio fleet with Integrated Wi-Fi. This dramatically improves the speed of configuring new codeplugs, firmware and software features over-the-air with Radio Management without interrupting voice communications. Agencies can provision up to 20 secured Wi-Fi networks so their personnel can easily access updates at the facility or in the field.

Designed for the mission

The ergonomic design of the APX 8000XE is a well-thought-out solution. Whether you’re putting out fires, defending your country’s coastline or working in other extreme conditions that require heavy gloves, the exaggerated control knobs are easy to grip and locate in even the most stressful moments. From display size to button positioning, this radio is easy to access and operate.

Greater mobility

APX Personnel Accountability allows Incident Commanders to quickly and accurately account for first responders through radio roll call and an interactive GUI. Real-time accountability allows incident commanders to focus on maintaining control of a chaotic fireground.

With BT standard on all APX XE radios, we are able to partner with SCBA industry leaders to provide clear in-mask communications so you can hear and be heard. Collaborations with both MSA and Scott Safety allow us to deliver clear voice and data communications.

APX XE500 Remote Speaker, High Impact Green (PMMN4106A)

The APX XE500 Remote Speaker Microphone (RSM) is designed with the user’s extreme environment in mind. This high-visibility, high impact green RSM features an asymmetrical shape to help you find the controls without looking, even while wearing bulky gloves. Its large push-to-talk button and an extra-large emergency button, which illuminates orange when activated, are easy to locate, but shielded so they’re not accidentally activated.

The XE500 RSM features a dedicated channel knob that has been designed to mimic the channel knob of the radio. With the same fit and feel, firefighters can easily change channels when their radios are worn under their turnout coat. Whether you are in the heat of a fire or exposed to extreme weather conditions, the XE500 will keep you connected to your team. Designed to withstand heat exposure of 500˚F (260˚C) for up to five minutes and an IP68 (2m, 4 hours) submersibility rating, it will perform in extreme conditions.

The APX XE500 RSM's five integrated microphones and Adaptive Audio Engine automatically change the level of noise suppression, microphone gain, Windporting and speaker equalization to produce clear and loud audio in any environment. The strategic placement of the microphones and enhanced water drainage provide users with the flexibility to wear it straight, upside down and even sideways while still delivering loud and clear audio.
