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
adminstrator for more details of the supported radio models.

as the following modems:
•
Motorola Solutions VML750
