5100 Series

The 5100 Series multi-protocol portable radio is a high tiered, high specification computer with a portable radio module. Designed for Public Safety User by Public Safety Users to meet the changing needs of Federal, State and Local Government users, as well as industrial and public service applications. With forward, backward and multiple protocol compatibility, the 5100 portable radio allows communications on Project 25 Trunking and Conventional radio systems, SMARTNET II and SmartZone Trunked radio systems, Multi-Net trunking systems, and conventional analog radio communication systems.

APCO Project 25 Compatible – Trunked and Conventional
SMARTNET™ and SmartZone®
Multi-Net®
Analog/Digital Radio

The industry’s only interoperable portable combines an RF module with a high-performance computer processor offering the end user a multi-protocol portable. EFJohnson designed this innovative portable by asking radio users what they wanted in performance, usage, and features. The result is strong lightweight magnesium casting with ergonomic polycarbonate housing. Whether you need a radio to perform on a single protocol system or part of many systems with different protocols, the 5100 is your solution. Simple ramp switch selection allows you to change from one system protocol to another. Available in VHF, UHF, and 800 bands, the 5100 serves the federal, state and local government users as well as industrial and public service customers. Finally, the 5100 is sophisticated enough to allow transitioning from analog to digital and vice versa.

Multiple Protocol Compatibility:

– Project 25 CAI (Common Air Interface) allows users the capability of communicating with other Project 25 compatible radio equipment. The 5100 supports Project 25 trunked and conventional communications, as well as Motorola Astro trunking.
– SMARTNET™ II and SmartZone® Trunking Protocols are supported on the Series 5100 portable.
– Multi-Net® Trunked communications is supported on the Series 5100 portable.

• Intrinsically safe
• Multiple System Select is an advanced feature that allows the user to simply change the protocol of the communications from analog to digital with the pressing of a button. The 5100 also allows up to 500 channel/talkgroups, depending upon memory available and programming configuration.
• Encrypted Communications allow Project 25 DES-OFB level secure voice communications.
• Backwards Compatibility provides the flexibility to communicate in both narrow and wideband analog channels, in addition narrowband digital.
• Forwards Compatibility is provided through the flash upgradable design that will allow new features and applications in the existing radio platform.
• Alphanumeric Display provides a large, LCD backlit visual display of the radio’s channel, talkgroup, or other pertinent information.
• DTMF Compatibility allows the user to operate remote control devices or access telephone interconnect systems.
• Ergonomically-Designed Rotary Knobs allow easy access and to easily distinguish the talkgroup/channel knob from the volume knob.
• Keypad provides users with the ability to call individual radios, groups or fleets.

5300 Series

The 5300 Analog/Digital Mobile Radio provides Project 25 compatible and SMARTNET®/SmartZone® interface to meet the needs of state, local, and federal government users, as well as business, industrial and public safety applications. With backwards compatibility, the 5300 mobile offers the capacity to communicate in both narrow and wide channels and operate in either digital or analog mode. This allows the 5300 mobile to effectively switch from communication between SMARTNET/SmartZone Project 25 approved equipment to conventional FM equipment with one simple turn of the channel knob.

• Complete Project 25 CAI (Common Air Interface) offers the capacity to operate with other Project 25 compatible equipment. The 5300 supports Project 25 trunked and conventional communications, as well as Motorola ASTRO trunking.
• SMARTNET® and SmartZone® Systems 2 and 3 Compatible
• Backwards Compatibility provides the flexibility to communicate in both narrow and wide bandwidth analog channels, in addition to narrowband digital.
• Multiple Protocol Compatibility allows the 5300 mobile to be customized to operate with a variety of radio protocols, including Project 25 trunking and conventional, SmartZone, and SMARTNET.
• Handheld Controller Option allows the user the ability for DTMF operation as well as all the functions of a regularsize control head.
• Field Programmable furnishes federal government agencies the ability to reprogram conventional frequencies, CTCSS, DCS, and talkgroups into the radio’s memory.
• 10-Character Alphanumeric Display provides a backlit visual display of the radio’s channel or talkgroup on the front of the radio.
• Rotary Knobs mounted on the front of the mobile provide easy channel and volume adjustment.
