• •T-Satellite provides coverage to remote areas, improving first responders' communication reliability.
• •The integration supports over 1.3 million users globally, enhancing operational efficiency.

Motorola Solutions and T-Mobile announced a partnership to integrate satellite connectivity into Motorola's APX smart radios, enhancing communication capabilities for first responders. This collaboration allows the radios to utilize T-Mobile's T-Priority for increased capacity and speed, as well as T-Satellite, which connects to Starlink's low earth orbit satellite network. The integration aims to provide uninterrupted communication and real-time intelligence in remote areas, ensuring that first responders can maintain connectivity in challenging environments. Motorola has deployed over 13,000 two-way radio networks globally, supporting more than 1.3 million users. The new features are expected to significantly improve operational efficiency and safety for emergency services. T-Mobile's T-Satellite extends coverage to areas lacking traditional cellular service, enhancing the reliability of first responders' communications. The technology is designed to operate seamlessly across various networks, including land mobile radio, 5G, and Wi-Fi.
