3 of The Best Motorola Walkie Talkie Devices in 2022
31/10/2022
When you think of a Motorola walkie talkie, your first thought is probably that they're all the same - in the sense that you press a button to speak to another user. But like most advances in technology, there's a range of Motorola walkie talkies (or two-way radios) that offer great variety in their purpose.
To help you understand more about their advances in technology, here's 3 of the best Motorola walkie talkie devices in 2022.
Motorola R7
Part of the MOTOTRBO range, the Motorola R7 is a next-generation device that offers end users clear and customisable audio, a rugged design, and connectivity with different Digital Mobile Radio systems. Launched in January 2022, the R7 also offers WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, and is built (and tested) to MIL-STD-810 military standards - which in layman's terms means it's going to last in even the harshest of conditions.
Providing end users with much more than Push-to-Talk (PTT) capabilities, the Motorola R7 is one of the most technologically advanced Motorola walkie talkie devices on the market. And it actually comes in three forms, too:
- Motorola R7a (the entry level R7 with basic features)
- Motorola R7 Capable (comes with more advanced features and software. Payable licence key required to activate advanced features)
- Motorola R7 Premium (the all singing and dancing version that comes with advanced software and features as standard - including indoor location tracking, Man Down alarm, and audio recording)
Fun fact - The Motorola R7 has a powerful speaker, delivering 102 phons straight out the box. This is loud enough to be heard over the sound of passing traffic.
Motorola DP4400e
The Motorola DP4400e is the predecessor to the Motorola R7, but it still remains one of the most reliable and advanced offerings that Motorola Solutions have on the market. Released in 2016, the DP4400e is one of the most popular choices with Eemits customers.
This often down to its rugged design, great connectivity, and the fact it comes with multiple worker safety features. The latter of these selling points make the device popular in industries such as manufacturing, petrochemical, and utilities.
It is IP68-rated, has dual analogue and digital operation, and boasts integrated WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, and indoor beacon tracking support.
With the addition of satellite navigation for wide area location tracking, the DP4400e is understandably recognised as one of the most reliable devices in its field.

Motorola ION
Now, this last device isn't technically a Motorola walkie talkie, but walkie talkie features it does have - so we're including it! Released in January 2021, the Motorola ION comes with the tagline "always on". This is down to the fact that it is classed as a "smart radio" - one that boasts an ecosystem of Android apps, and the ability to switch between Digital Mobile Radio signal (DMR), 4G LTE signal and broadand connection.
Designed to look more like a smartphone, the ION has a touchscreen and full multimedia capabilities. Despite not looking like a walkie talkie, the ION is a dedicated PTT device, so communication with users is instant, and there's no need for someone to pick up a call via a ringing method.
If end users are in area where 3G or 4G signal drops out, the device will automatically switch to DMR signal, bringing into play the "always on" mantra.
Due to its status as a "smart radio" its pricing point is towards the higher end of the market, but it's smart features and functionality make it one of the most advanced products out there.
