Motorola Solutions APX N70 XE Radio Combines Mission-Critical Voice Communications with Smart Applications for Fire Crews in Harsh Conditions

New smart radio provides essential location and incident information

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) today announced the APX^® N70 XE smart radio that combines mission-critical voice communications with smart data applications that provide essential location and incident information. It is designed specifically to support firefighters and emergency medical services (EMS) personnel working in smoke, heat and loud environments so they can confidently collaborate to help people in need.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250410537547/en/

“Our new generation of firefighters are device-savvy and expect tools and technology that make their jobs safer and more efficient,” said Jim Kauffman, Director of Technology and Planning, Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District in Florida. “With the APX N70 XE, incident commanders can have confidence in the up-to-date location information of their crews and in knowing that their crews will remain connected, even when outside of radio coverage areas.”

The APX N70 XE is a Project 25 (P25) single-band smart radio that has the hallmark rugged build of Motorola Solutions’ APX XE line of radios and a slender form factor designed to be used by gloved hands. It features several advanced technologies, including ViQi™, an AI-voice assistant that enables users to change radio channels or volume levels using voice control, and SmartConnect, which seamlessly switches communications to broadband when crew members travel outside of radio coverage area.

The radio’s applications use LTE to share important data-based information while keeping critical voice channels clear. These include SmartIncident, which lets dispatchers push critical incident information – including messages, images, videos and audio clips – to the radio, SmartLocate which regularly updates an individual’s location, SmartMessaging to share multimedia, including videos and SmartMapping to display the location of crews in the vicinity of an incident.

“We’re continuing to grow our smart radio lineup to provide firefighters and EMS with purpose-built options to meet their needs,” said John Touvannas, vice president, Astro Devices, Motorola Solutions. “We have two all-band smart radios, the top-of-the-line APX NEXT XN and the APX NEXT XE. The new APX N70 XE offers the same smart applications and trusted voice communications that fire crews rely on in a single-band radio with a slimmer design.”

The APX N70 XE and full family of APX smart radios for fire will be on display at FDIC International, booth 309, in Indianapolis on April 10-12, 2025.

Forrester: To Thrive Amid Volatility, Leaders Must Optimize Technology Investments, Excel At Driving Change, And Proactively Manage Risk

New Forrester research outlines key actions for business and technology leaders to navigate uncertainty and mitigate the effects of global disruptions

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) report, How To Thrive Through Volatility, business and technology leaders need to quickly adapt to current economic uncertainty. This year has been marked by unpredictability and volatility — new tariffs, trade wars, outages, cyberthreats, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical tensions are all contributing to global market instability. As a result, business leaders may have an impulse to pause planned initiatives and spending and wait to see how things play out. Yet with no end in sight to this volatility, leaders should double down on investing in areas that position them for future growth while proactively optimizing costs, pivoting resources, and scaling back on non-essential projects.

As competitors retreat, market opportunities will emerge for those poised to take control. For business and technology leaders to thrive through volatility and come out ahead, they will need to focus on four critical areas. These include:

• Fiercely optimizing tech investments and simplifying technology. This is not the same as ruthless cost cutting, which, when done reactively, often undermines long-term value. Instead, it’s about identifying opportunities to streamline — such as eliminating redundant software and renegotiating to drive greater efficiency and savings.It’s also about reprioritizing — not pausing — modernization plans to be more nimble, secure, and prepared to make the best use of AI and other game-changing technologies.

• Reaffirming brand value and prioritizing customers. Understanding and prioritizing which customer segments to serve will help leaders adjust their brand’s value proposition to reflect volatility shifts.

• Excelling at leading change. To successfully adapt to volatility, leaders must provide confidence and clarity to their organizations. Along with building bidirectional listening strategies and communicating transparently to employees, leaders should cultivate a culture of continuous learning and upskilling.

• Proactively managing risk. More than 40% of business and technology leaders cite economic uncertainty as the systemic risk that they are the most concerned about. While leaders can’t stop volatility from happening, they can manage it by taking a continuous, holistic approach to risk. Forrester recommends managing three sources of risk — enterprise risks tied to their strategy and factors fully within their control; ecosystem risks they can partially control arising from third-party relationships; and external risks they can’t control, including tariffs — and creating scenario plans for addressing each risk type.

“Five years after the pandemic, the business world, in many ways, feels even more tumultuous and unpredictable,” said Sharyn Leaver, chief research officer at Forrester. “Unlike five years ago, when the source of the disruption was a single, unknown pathogen, today’s volatility comes from a myriad of forces beyond leaders’ control. Yet there is opportunity in disruption — even in times like these. By taking charge and refocusing on tech resource and spend optimization, change leadership, and risk management, leaders can prevail where their competitors can’t — unlocking new areas for innovation and growth.”
