Motorola Solutions has introduced the ST7000 small Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) device to the critical communications market at CCW2016 for customer-facing use cases and sectors such as airports and hospitality. These scenes calls for critical communications between customer-facing staff on reliable, modern radios that are easy-to-use and blend into professional attire.
“Our customer-facing staff at the airport expressed their desire for a radio that is smaller and more elegant than the highly rugged and robust radios used by the airport ground staff on the runways,” said Norio Sakai, president and CEO, Nippon Airport Radio Services Co., Ltd. “We brought that need to Motorola Solutions who listened to us and created quickly a radio based on the feedback of our users. We are very satisfied with the end result, which is a small-sized, easy-to-use and fashionable solution that our users are very happy with. It’s a discreet radio with state-of-the-art technology that is simply stylish.”
“Working closely with our customers, we uncovered their need for a communications tool that delivers our industry-leading technology in a design that’s thoroughly modern and exceptionally intuitive and can easily slip into a pocket,” said Steve Young, vice president TETRA devices at Motorola Solutions. “The ST7000 digital radio raises the bar in this business-critical market with an elegant design to create tremendous value for customer-facing professionals, executives or anyone who need a discreet, sleek form factor with radio durability and audio quality.”
