Motorola R7 maritime communication strengthens Zenitel’s portfolio of communication solutions for the maritime and energy sectors. By adding the R7 Series, we provide the crews with clearer communication and safer workflows onboard and across the offshore sites. The company’s long-standing partnership with Motorola Solutions enables the integration of advanced devices into critical maritime communication systems — enhancing reliability, efficiency, and safety both on board and at offshore sites. The R7 and R7 Ex radios are now part of Zenitel’s DNV-approved and Safe Return to Port communication systems.

Reliable Connectivity for Maritime and Offshore Operations

Designed and tested to meet MIL-STD-810 military standards, this advanced two-way radio equipment is purpose-built for crews operating on maritime vessels and offshore platforms. Compact and lightweight yet extremely durable, the MOTOTRBO R7 and R7 Ex radios provide intuitive operation along with the crystal-clear, high-volume audio essential in noisy environments.

Equipped with advanced audio processing technology, they ensure consistent performance and superior speech intelligibility. Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.2 deliver fast and stable device connectivity to the communication platform, while built-in technologies reduce power consumption and improve bandwidth efficiency.

The MOTOTRBO R7 radios safety features protect against unauthorized use — a critical advantage for onboard and offshore operations. IMPRES self-calibrating batteries provide extended runtime per charge and help prolong overall battery life.

Every design element supports user comfort and operational efficiency, while over-the-air programming and updates via Wi-Fi make configuration and integration of the MOTOTRBO R7 into maritime communication systems effortless and efficient.

ATEX-Certified Communication for Hazardous Areas

The Motorola R7 Ex two-way radio is an ATEX and IECEx-certified device that combines outstanding enclosure protection with exceptional connectivity. Designed for use in hazardous zones, these radios deliver crystal-clear audio transmission and powerful loudness — essential for reliable communication in the most challenging environments. With efficient noise cancellation the R7 Series improves speech intelligibility, helping the crew working in engine rooms or other high-noise areas to avoid miscommunication during critical tasks.

The design of this ATEX radio guarantees dependable and efficient performance. The device provides gas protection, mining protection, and ATEX ingress protection. Its waterproof housing, rated IP66 and IP68, ensures consistent operation in dusty conditions and even during full immersion in water. The MIL-STD-810 rating confirms its superior durability and resistance to harsh environments.

Every design detail is crafted for the crew’s comfort and safety. This includes easy operation even while wearing work gloves, as well as alerts triggered when a non-ATEX battery is accidentally installed. The ATEX radio also provides wide-area coverage, voice recording and playback options, an easily accessible emergency button, and Lone Worker and Fall Alert functions that automatically activate distress signals when needed.
