APX900 — 48-Channel Dual-Mode No-Display with IP68
The value rung of the APX line: 48-channel capacity, dual-mode P25 Phase 1/2 + analog operation so legacy analog fleets migrate incrementally without radio replacement, no-display form factor for rugged simplicity, and IP68 submersible rating — one of the highest environmental ratings in the APX family. The dual-mode capability is the migration engine: departments keep talking on existing analog channels today while standardizing on P25 interoperability for mutual aid, with AES-256 encryption readiness as funding allows.
APX4000 — Standard P25 Phase 2 with Full Features
The standard P25 Phase 2 portable in the APX portfolio: full P25 Phase 2 TDMA operation for the highest spectral efficiency on 700/800MHz trunking systems, complete feature set across the APX accessory and programming ecosystem, and the same rugged construction and encryption posture as the wider APX family. The step up from the APX900: agencies already operating or migrating to Phase 2 trunking get the dedicated Phase 2 radio rather than a dual-mode compromise, at a higher cost per unit but with the full feature roadmap of the APX platform.
