Motorola introduces new APX7500 Control Head "09"
You have never seen a control head quite like the head Motorola just released at the APCO conference in Las Vegas. Check out this PR:
Motorola Expands APX Mobile Radio Family With APX O9 Integrated Control Head for Increased Efficiency
Programmable controls maximize functionality and optimize safety allowing focus on the mission
August 17, 2009
APCO 2009 – LAS VEGAS (Booth 824) – August 17, 2009 – Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today announced the launch of the APX O9 Integrated Control Head for the APX mobile radio line. The one-touch functionality and intuitive controls in one integrated unit provide instant multi-agency interoperability for mission critical first responders.
The O9 Control Head is the latest addition to Motorola’s APX multi-band family of radios. The industry’s first Project 25 (P25) multi-band (700/800 MHz and VHF) family of radios, APX communicates with current and future P25 networks (FDMA and TDMA) and has integrated GPS for situational awareness.
The O9 Control Head features programmable controls, combining several communication and warning functions into a simplified single-button press for safe and more efficient operation. Under stressful situations, the enlarged one-touch buttons make it easy to select and change modes, channels and zones. Buttons can also be used to sequentially operate lights, sirens/PA systems, status messages and GPS coordinates.
The integrated design of the control head reduces the amount of equipment required in a vehicle, providing officers with more cabin space and easier access to all controls. The large, full-color display of the O9 Control Head is easy to read and optimizes the intelligent lighting feature of the APX™ 7500 mobile radio by illuminating the appropriate keypad buttons and display screen in different colors to highlight specific events. The screen also adjusts to optimize different viewing conditions such as the night time.
“Just as the APX 7500 mobile radio does the work of two radios and reduces the amount of equipment in a vehicle, the APX O9 Control Head also eliminates the need for other vehicle warning and communication system controls,” said Bob Schassler, Motorola senior vice president, Enterprise Mobility Solutions. “Simplified operations mean officers can stay focused on the mission. The APX mobile radio provides true interoperability and exceptional audio quality in one device to aid the multi-agency communication that is essential for mission critical operations.”
Motorola will be offering a complete control head portfolio with three options available for the APX 7500 mobile radio. The O3 Handheld Control Head, the O5 Standard Control Head and the O9 Integrated Control Head will give users the flexibility to choose the control head that best meets their organizational needs.

Update on Motorola DTMF Mics: HMN1037, HMN1053, HMN3013 and HMN1032
Here is the official line from Motorola on these long backordered DTMF microphones -
Due to a critical obsolete part from our supplier, Motorola is unable to supply mobile DTMF microphones HMN1037, HMN1053, HMN3013, and HMN1032 at this time. We currently have an engineering team starting the process to re-tool, re-test, and re-qualify the new component. Our intent is to continue to supply these microphones. Unfortunately since we are building this new component from scratch, it will be a long process to ensure we are shipping a quality end product. Please note, due to delays in production, revised ship date is now expected to be the end of May 2009.Contact us at Wiscomm if you have any questions or need further schedule updates.

Wiscomm celebrates Earth Day!
As the World celebrates Earth Day on April 22nd, all of us at Wiscomm take the environment pretty serious, nothing militant but always aware of the impact we might leave. We thought in honor of Earth Day we would simply list a few of the steps we do to in the course of our operations.
- Our business overall is the ultimate recycling, when we work with clients looking to move inventory, we take it all, not just cherry pick the best and through everything else away. One way or another we find a home for every radio we take in.
- All of Wiscomm's battery inventory gets recycled when batteries hit its end of life. We work with a few organizations who properly recycle and dispose of all batteries.
- Most of the cleaning supplies we use at Wiscomm are "green", we use "Simple Green" or supplies from our friends at "EcoGeeks".
- All of our new boxes include recycled content, we recycle all of our inbound boxes and reship outbound product to our clients (that's why you may see old writing or labels on your packages).
- We combine our daily shipments to our shipping carriers.
If you have any questions about Wiscomm, please give us a call or drop us email! Sphere: Related Content

Motorola Parts Delays (4/10/09)
Motorola started some new computer upgrades on Friday April 10th, these upgrades will eventually allow for real-time availability of parts in the Motorola warehouse, however at this time they are experiencing delays of 1-2 days before being able to ship. We normally are able to order by 3pm Central and have parts arrive the following morning, through this week you should add a day or two before we are able to ship. They are advising these delays should diminish later in the week.
Thanks for your patience this week.
UPDATE (APR16 - 0630): Motorola is still having shipping issues with parts and accessories coming from its main distribution center in Elgin, IL. Delays of 2-3 days (normally same day) are common. Motorola is advising the computer issues are fixed and they are working on the order backlog. They expect to be back to the same day ship on in-stock items by Monday April 20th.
UPDATE (APR 20 - 0800) : Motorola is now shipping same day, so order placed with Wiscomm by 3pm Central US will ship to you the following business day. This is for in-stock items only.
Contact us with any questions!
