SmartConnect
SmartConnect allows your radio to maintain voice communication when LMR is out of range by
switching to a Wi-Fi, LTE through Tethered Data Modem and Satellite through Ethernet..
Before switching broadband connections, your radio compares the relative signal strength of the
various broadband connection types to one another, as well as LMR. Your radio remains or returns to
LMR connection when the other broadband connections fall below the quality threshold. In addition, a
radio operating on a lower priority broadband connection returns to the higher priority or quality
connection while idle on SmartConnect.
NOTICE: This feature must be preprogrammed by a qualified radio technician. Contact your
system administrator for more information.
Your radio can connect through a fixed Wi-Fi access point in buildings or in-vehicle Broadband modem
such as the following modems:
•
Motorola Solutions VML750
•
Sierra Wireless MP70
•
Sierra Wireless GX450

the device is connected to an available network, the radio displays SmartConnect connection icon
