In
this
digital
age,
“cyber”
is
usually
the
first
word
we
think
of
when
we
hear
“security”.
However,
physical
security
is
just
as
important
and
has
as
many
difficulties
to
overcome.
For
example,
many
security
teams
use
various
devices
across
different
networks
in
multiple
locations.
Post-pandemic,
as
we’ve
flocked
back
to
in-person
events,
security
teams
are
again
faced
with
monitoring
and
managing
large
crowds
in
busy
environments.
And
when
it
comes
to
ensuring
people’s
safety,
every
moment
matters.
Security
teams
need
dynamic
tools
capable
of
communicating
at
speed.
But,
as
mentioned
above,
keeping
an
entire
workforce
connected
can
be
tricky
when
working
across
wide
areas
with
various
technologies.
Motorola’s
latest
solution,
Wave
PTX,
addresses
these
pressing
security
challenges
and
connects
teams
across
the
organisation.
WAVE
PTX
provides
users
with
a
network-independent
broadband
Push-to-Talk
(PTT)
capability
that
offers
more
than
voice
communication,
bringing
teams
closer
and
keeping
everyone
in
the
loop.
Motorola’s
new
solution
uses
Microsoft
Azure
Cloud
to
extend
two-way
radio
communication
to
smartphones,
tablets,
PCs
and
WAVE
PTX
radios.
This
helps
security
companies
ensure
that
their
people
and
property
are
always
safe,
no
matter
what
devices
their
workers
are
using.
WAVE
PTX
operates
within
a
fixed
subscription
model
and
uses
a
cloud-based
device
management
portal,
making
managing
it
simple
while
keeping
costs
down.
The
main
features
of
Motorola’s
WAVE
PTX
offering
include:
-
3G/4G
and
Wi-Fi
Connectivity -
PTT
Private
and
Group
calling -
Multimedia
messaging -
Geolocation
and
geofencing -
Location,
mapping
and
tracking -
Emergency
calling
and
alert -
Real-time
presence -
Multiple
deployment
and
software
options
Technology
that
works
the
way
you
do
All
WAVE
PTX
products
are
made
to
connect
quickly,
affording
users
instant
communication
throughout
any
range
of
devices
and
networks
they
might
be
using.
This
means
that
if
a
team
member
is
using
the
WAVE
PTX
app
on
their
phone,
they
can
be
found
and
contacted
just
as
easily
as
if
they
are
using
a
TLK
Series
radio
device
or
even
a
traditional
two-way
radio:
with
nothing
more
than
the
push
of
a
button.
Connection
across
different
technologies
is
seamless.
For
example,
if
your
security
organisation
uses
MOTOTRBO,
connecting
this
with
WAVE
PTX
is
quick
and
simple,
meaning
no
downtime
and
smooth
implementation.
WAVE
PTX
is
a
cloud-hosted
service;
subscriptions
can
be
tailored
to
a
company’s
unique
requirements.
Users
can
select
how
many
devices
to
use,
how
many
users
will
have
access,
and
the
subscription’s
length.
And
because
it
is
cloud-hosted,
Motorola
holds
its
WAVE
PTX
service
to
advanced
cybersecurity
standards,
ensuring
user
data
is
always
protected.
One
of
the
additional
benefits
of
Motorola’s
new
WAVE
PTX
technology
is
its
mobile
app,
which
turns
Android
and
iOS
phones
into
PTT
handsets,
enabling
users
to
instantly
communicate
with
their
team
anywhere
there
is
broadband
service—live
video
streaming
between
users
in
the
field
and
dispatchers,
offering
situational
awareness
and
improving
group
collaboration.
But
sometimes
a
smartphone
just
won’t
cut
it,
and
you
need
hardware
built
especially
for
the
task.
Motorola’s
TLK
Series
radios
have
been
created
to
withstand
the
day-to-day
life
of
a
security
team.
These
products
also
combine
LTE
and
Wi-Fi
connectivity
to
give
users
quick
and
reliable
broadband
PTT
communications.
The
TLK
Series
features:
A
powerful
design.
Because
these
devices
can
be
streamlined,
security
personnel
can
move
freely
between
locations.
This
functionality
also
supports
single-handed
use
and
allows
users
to
hear
conversations
clearly
in
loud
surroundings
with
crisp
audio
quality.
SL2600
accessory-compatible
Using
this
tech
doesn’t
mean
giving
up
on
previous
iterations
security
companies
may
have
invested
in.
Instead,
users
can
draw
on
their
previous
investments,
using
earpieces,
headsets,
batteries,
charging
stations
and
other
accessories
with
the
TLK
radios.
Additionally,
hands-free
accessories
will
allow
security
staff
to
discreetly
contact
one
another
without
compromising
audio
quality
or
speed.
Long
battery
life
The
battery
power
on
the
TLK
Series
radios
is
designed
to
last
18
hours,
meaning
staff
can
put
aside
any
concerns
about
needing
to
charge
their
devices
while
on
duty.
Screenless
design
Email,
text,
and
other
notification-style
apps
are
no
longer
distracting,
allowing
users
to
be
more
productive
and
focus
on
the
task.
One
of
the
Motorola
TLK
Series
radios
is
the
WM500
model,
equipped
with
a
wireless
remote
speaker
microphone,
the
company’s
thinnest
to
date.
Further,
this
model
comes
with
an
internal
battery
that
lasts
up
to
25
hours
and
weatherproof
technology
that
takes
away
whining
and
howling
in
windy
weather,
making
communication
seamless
in
any
condition.
And
the
WM500
is
built
to
last.
With
a
durable
design,
this
offering
can
withstand
at
least
30
minutes
underwater
without
damaging
the
microphone
and
is
entirely
dust-tight.
Security
personnel
must
keep
themselves
and
others
safe
using
devices
and
settings.
They
also
have
to
be
prepared
for
anything
and
respond
rapidly.
WAVE
PTX
offers
that
capability,
removing
the
barriers
between
devices,
networks
and
locations.
