Motorola Solutions Unveils Slim, Lightweight MOTOTRBO™ SL1600 Two-Way Radio at PMRExpo 2014
Ultra-slim and rugged for easy, reliable communications for customer- facing, front of-house roles
COLOGNE, Germany - November 24, 2014 – Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI) presents at PMRExpo (25th-27th in Cologne, Germany) the new MOTOTRBO™ SL1600 digital portable radio, a reliable push-to-talk communication device designed by the company’s award-winning SL Series product team. This new radio provides superior audio quality and MOTOTRBO™ features needed for essential day-to-day, two-way radio communications. The ergonomic design allows for one-handed radio operation, and a versatile accessory portfolio gives users the freedom to focus on the job at hand.
The MOTOTRBO™ SL1600 is designed for everyday use in customer-facing industries including retail, hospitality, event management and private security. With the slim form factor and energy-conserving Active View display, staff can easily and comfortably carry their radios at all times. Imagine a shopping center’s front of-house staff all carrying their SL1600 two-way radios: providing status updates, reuniting lost children with their parents, monitoring suspicious activity, or confirming galleries have been cleared at the end of the day. Help is just one button press away. The SL1600 makes it easier for any front of-house team to coordinate with central control during normal daily operations and in times of emergency.
