APX 2500 vs APX 4000 — P25 Mid-Tier: 110W Mobile Coverage vs 340g Portable Agility

APX 2500 — 110W P25 Phase 2 Mobile at 2.2kg, Compact Chassis, and Small-Vehicle Upfit

Compact P25 Phase 2 mobile with 110W RF output — the coverage king of the APX mid-tier — in a small-form-factor 2.2kg chassis. Single-band VHF/UHF/700-800MHz selected at procurement. Upfits into confined vehicle spaces: motorcycles, ATVs, and utility quads where full-size mobiles cannot mount. AES-256 with OTAR. The fixed-installation choice for patrol units, park rangers, and utility field vehicles where 110W repeater-independent coverage across valleys and campus perimeters matters more than portability — power budget stays in the vehicle, so the operator carries zero radio weight.

APX 4000 — Compact P25 Phase 2 Portable with 2.0" Display, 98 Phon Audio, and 28-Hour Battery at 340g

Compact P25 Phase 2 portable weighing 340g — 1.86kg lighter than APX 2500 — with 2.0-inch color display, 5-line interface, and 1.5W speaker output at 98 phon. IP67 with MIL-STD-810G. AES-256 with OTAR. 2,900mAh IMPRES 2 battery delivers 28 hours. The mobile-agility choice for officers who leave the vehicle: foot patrol, building searches, and multi-unit assignments where the operator must carry coverage in their hand. Same encryption and trunking platform as APX 2500, so a mixed mobile + portable fleet keeps one programming environment — the standard pairing strategy for mid-size agencies.
