Updates

Announcements

NEW: Beginning September 2023 APX radios can be ordered with the New Feature/Latest release or the Baseline release firmware. The Baseline release is defined as a single major software release (i.e. 202X.1) to ship from the factory for a 1 year duration. The first major release each year will be the Baseline Release.  A New Feature Release is defined as the second and third major releases each year (202X.2 and 202X.3) and is required for customers to access new feature content and/or products.  New Feature releases contain the current year’s Baseline content as well as content from the previous New Feature release.

 

IMPORTANT! Radios that are ordered via COF must add the Baseline Release option (QA09113) if the Baseline firmware is desired.  If the Baseline option (QA09113) is not added to COF orders, radios will ship with the Latest Release and cannot be rolled back to the Baseline Release.  Most quotes and orders should keep the default Baseline Firmware (QA09113) unless a customer desires new functionality only provided in a New Feature release. More information about the Baseline and New Feature Release strategy can be found in MTN-0111-23-NA.

Effective March 5th, 2020: All U.S. orders will book as P25 CAP Compliant by internally generating the P25 “clear” non-encryption option QA05751 (Disable Encryption) if no other encryption is selected. ADP will no longer ship standard. It will now be an orderable option (G193 for mobiles, Q667 for portables).  Units shipped with QA05751 are not field-upgradable for encryption and any changes will require units to be sent to a depot. Further ordering changes are captured in the Encryption Algorithm and Multikey sections below.

Effective March, 2018: PMNN4547 IMPRES 2 LIION 3100 MAH will be the new standard battery for the APX 6000XE. This battery is slightly larger and will require a new holster, PMLN7902. This holster is now the standard carry holster for the Models 2.5 and Models 3.5 and will fit all of the current batteries in the portfolio. The legacy holster, PMLN5880 is no longer available.

Effective February, 2018:The new standard 7/800 MHz whip antenna on the APX 6000XE will be PMAF4040 instead of NAF5085. PMAF4040 has a slightly thinner and more flexible form factor. PMAF4040 supports GPS operation.

Software and Services

Wi-Fi

APX 6000XE supports Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with WPA2/WPA (PSK), and WEP security protocols. Wi-Fi can be used with the Radio Management SW in order to do codeplug updates, firmware refreshes, and FLASHport upgrades over a Wireless Network (WLAN).  The radio will only connect to available Wi-Fi networks which have been pre-provisioned in the radio codeplug via CPS. The radio can be pre-provisioned with up to 20 SSIDs.

The Wi-Fi feature requires ordering option QA09001. The Wi-Fi feature is also available aftermarket as a FLASHport upgrade if not ordered out of the factory.

Radio Management (RM) is required in order to take advantage of the Wi-Fi capabilities on APX 6000XE.

Out of the Box WiFi Provisioning

If a radio is ordered the Wi-Fi option (QA09001) and the customer wishes to provision the radios out of the box using Wi-Fi, the radio must also be ordered with the Out of the Box Wi-Fi Provisioning option (QA09007).

A radio ordered with the Wi-Fi option and the Out of the Box Provisioning over Wi-Fi option will come with the following default codeplug configuration relative to Wi-Fi:
a. Wi-Fi will be enabled.
b. There will be one pre-configured network with the Network SSID set to “MyNetwork” and security type will be set to “None”.
c. The default state of Wi-Fi will be “on”.

A Wi-Fi router is required for connecting the Wi-Fi capable radio to the Device Programmer. The Wi-Fi router is to be procured by the agency programming the radios and must be provisioned with the Network SSID set to “MyNetwork” (case sensitive) with no password enabled.

For more details regarding the Out of the Box Wi-Fi Provisioning process, please refer to the  Out of the Box Wi-Fi Provisioning Leaflet

Bluetooth 4.0 & Emergency Find Me

With Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology and our APX™ Mission Critical Wireless portfolio, users can now connect a variety of Bluetooth audio accessories and data devices with their APX™ radio.

Bluetooth 4.0 also enables Emergency Find Me, a feature providing personnel with an added level of security by improving response time in emergencies. Once an emergency is activated on the APX 6000XE, a Bluetooth beacon signals other Bluetooth-enabled APX radios within range. Based on bluetooth signal strength, nearby APX radios will receive an emergency alert via intelligent lighting and a text message with users Radio ID along with signal strength status (excellent, poor, fair) to determine proximity, and will guide the nearest personnel to the user in distress.
