Location and Tracking

The built-in GNSS receiver allows real-time tracking of the R5, helping coordinate workers and assets to enhance safety and efficiency. The R5 can also be equipped with RFID and NFC tags for asset tracking, inventory management, personnel identification, or assigning Motorola Solutions VB400 body cameras to specific radio users.

Crystal-Clear Communication with SINC+ Noise Suppression

The Motorola R5 two-way radio ensures that messages get through clearly, whether in a noisy or quiet environment. SINC+ noise suppression technology intelligently reduces background noise, ensuring clear and understandable communication. Whether you work on a construction site, in a warehouse, or in security services, SINC+ helps ensure that critical information reaches your team.

Benefits of SINC+ Noise Reduction:

• Automatically adapts to the environment
• Enhances speech clarity
• Suppresses unwanted noise
• Improves efficiency and safety in noisy workplaces

The Motorola R5 radio, combined with SINC+ technology, guarantees that nothing stands in the way of effective communication.

High-Performance Built-in Speaker

When workers cannot hear messages over noisy vehicles, cheering crowds, or heavy machinery, safety and efficiency are at risk. The Motorola R5’s high-performance built-in speaker delivers superior audio, ensuring that messages are heard even in loud environments. Users can also select an extra-loud audio profile, capable of reaching 106 phon for extremely noisy conditions. Additionally, a variety of headsets and earpieces are available for discrete or high-noise workplace communication.

AI-Powered Noise Cancellation Algorithm

The Motorola R5 two-way radio features an advanced AI-trained noise cancellation algorithm for superior background noise reduction, ensuring clear message transmission. The built-in software distinguishes between the speaker’s voice and different types of environmental noise—such as vehicles, crowds, and heavy machinery—preserving speech while significantly reducing background noise. 

The low-distortion, wideband speaker of the Motorola R5 delivers loud and clear audio, preventing misunderstandings and ensuring reliable communication.

Optimized Audio Performance, Interface, and Controls

The Motorola R5 is designed to optimize audio performance across various work environments and user profiles, so users don’t have to constantly adjust the volume. IMPRES™ technology and automatic inbound audio level adjustment balance differences in users' speaking volume and microphone placement.

The intelligent audio system dynamically adjusts radio output to prevent excessively loud messages or missed calls, adapting to changing background noise as users move between loud and quiet environments. The optimized user interface, tactile buttons, and extended battery life ensure that the Motorola R5 is comfortable for all-day use, allowing workers to focus on their jobs rather than their radios.

Intuitive Interface for Ease of Use

• With its intuitive interface, the Motorola R5 two-way radio is easy to use with minimal training.
• Large rotary volume and channel selection knobs for easy operation—even with gloves.
• A large, tactile push-to-talk (PTT) button for precise control.
• Programmable buttons for quick access to frequently used functions.
• A dedicated orange emergency button for fast access to assistance.
• A bright and clear display with customizable two- or three-line configurations for status updates.

Extended Talk Time

Motorola R5 batteries are compact and lightweight yet powerful enough for multi-shift operation, providing up to 30 hours of battery life on a single charge. To maximize battery performance, use an IMPRES charger, which helps maintain battery health and extend its lifespan.

Rugged Design

For those who need a reliable two-way radio for tough environments, whether indoors or outdoors, the Motorola R5 is built to withstand extreme conditions.

• IP67-rated dust and water resistance for protection against dirt and moisture.
• MIL-STD-810 compliance to endure drops, vibration, temperature changes, and humidity.
• Designed, tested, and manufactured to meet the highest standards for long-term performance.
• For added peace of mind, warranty and service coverage provide access to software updates and hardware repairs, ensuring that your radios remain up to date with the latest technology.

Built for Reliability

Like all MOTOTRBO two-way radios, the Motorola R5 undergoes Motorola’s unique Accelerated Life Testing (ALT)—a rigorous process simulating five years of use to ensure the radios withstand real-world demands.

Users can rely on Motorola radios to deliver performance when it matters most.
