If you’re looking for the perfect hands-free radio communications device for your retail, hospitality, or restaurant business, then the Motorola Curve is the perfect advanced solution that you’ve been waiting for.
This device acts as a stand-alone radio-to-radio communications tool, but can also be used with your Wi-Fi system for enhanced functionality.
Developed specifically for the three industries listed above, the Motorola Curve is a radio with voice assistance. This is an advanced Wi-Fi enhanced business two-way radio that combines the ease and efficiency of traditional push-to-talk devices with cloud communication powered by your Wi-Fi connection.
The end result is a user-friendly device that enables your team to communicate clearly over distance in chaotic and unpredictable environments. If you’re looking to get in touch with the stock room of your retail store in the middle of the day on a Saturday during the holidays, you want reliability built into the device that you’re using.
Similarly, if you’re trying to convey an important message to your kitchen staff during the dinner rush at a popular restaurant, like arranging a curbside pickup, the efficiency of your establishment (and your Yelp ratings) rely on your radio’s ability to communicate clearly.
This is a device that features an ergonomic design that makes keeping in touch with your team a breeze. It also allows you 300,000 square feet of range, which should cover even the largest big-box retail operations with no issues whatsoever.
The Wi-Fi connectivity of this device makes advanced features like voice assistance a regular part of your workday. Using this feature, you’ll be able to issue verbal commands like “call Tracy” or “call the kitchen” and be connected instantly. You can also use your voice commands to log in and out of the device, a convenient experience that embraces the best that modern communication technology has to offer.
With the voice assistant also comes the voice assistant portal, which is a web-based app that lets you add associates to your location.
There’s also a voicemail feature that comes in handy when you want to let someone know something but don’t need an immediate live conversation and response. Once the Curve receives a voice message, the user can then play it back whenever they choose. This voicemail feature also comes in handy with task management, as it can be played and replayed when completing certain tasks.
The Curve uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology, which is free of licensing fees and matches up nicely with Motorola’s DTR and DLR series devices. That means if you’re already using any of these radios, they can communicate with the Curve right out of the box using the default factory settings.
It’s a tough device that can withstand the rigors of a bustling business environment. It meets military specifications, with a polycarbonate housing that protects against all sorts of damage. It was tested using the military-standard MIL Specs 810 to ensure maximum durability. This radio is also IP5X-sealed to protect against dust and humidity.
Furthermore, the Curve operates on a digital 900 MHz ISM band, which doesn’t require an FCC license fee. It runs on a lithium-ion battery with an 11.5-hour lifespan. It should be noted that if you’re using the Wi-Fi services, the battery life drops slightly to 10 hours, which is still more than enough for even the longest workday shift.
How does the Motorola Curve excel?
Impressive Range
The Motorola Curve features an extended talk range of up to 300,000 square feet. When indoors, that equals an equivalent of about 20 floors. This makes the device ideal for larger retail establishments, warehouses, and restaurants. It would also be effective in a hotel or resort setting.
Voice Assistant over Wi-Fi
The Curve has the ability to connect to your business Wi-Fi signal and use the Cloud to enable voice command processing. These commands are delivered over a Wi-Fi data network to enable processing without taking away from the slim simplicity of the business radio’s design.
Voicemail
Using the Curve, you can send voice messages to the handset of your choosing. The recipient can then play or replay these messages at their earliest convenience. This is a great way to deliver messages that don’t require a live response, or a way to send a request to a member of your team while they’re busy with another task, enabling communication without disruption.
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum
You can count on reliable and private communications between members of your team thanks to the Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology that powers the Motorola Curve. This technology allows you to choose between 10,000 unique 4-digit radio profile IDs so that your communications will remain protected. This is the same technology that powers the Motorola DLR and DTR series, making these radios compatible with the Curve.
Sturdy and Sanitary
The Motorola Curve is both sturdy and sanitary, with military-grade hardware packed in a strong shell. The device also has an IP5X rating for low-pressure water and dust resistance. That allows it to perform well even in extreme conditions. It has also been tested to meet military durability specifications.
