Connectivity
This section explains the management of connections between your radio and a variety of networks
and other devices.
17.1
LTE
Your radio is set up with Long Term Evolution (LTE) broadband connection to enable Smart
Programming out-of-the box, and also the SmartConnect and SmartLocate features.
In some countries, an LTE SIM may be installed into the radio by Motorola Solutions before delivery.
Each preinstalled SIM is locked to the specific radio so it cannot operate in any other radio or device.
The SIM is located in a slot in the rear chassis. Do not remove the SIM, even if LTE is not active or in
use.
NOTE:
On certain occasions, the Access Point Name (APN) information needs to be edited on
the device to establish connectivity with the country's SIM carrier company.

17.2
SmartConnect
SmartConnect allows your radio to maintain voice communication when LMR is out of range by
switching to a Wi-Fi or LTE network.
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 when all the other broadband connections fall below the quality thresholds. SmartConnect
selects Wi-Fi over LTE when both broadband connections are considered the same quality according
to the SmartConnect quality threshold. Otherwise, the highest quality broadband adapter is selected.
In addition, a radio operating on a lower priority broadband connection returns to the higher priority or
quality connection while idle on SmartConnect.
NOTE:
This feature must be preprogrammed by a qualified radio technician. Contact your
system administrator for more information.
