Motorola TLK100 Nationwide Two-Way Radio
When your team is spread across a job site, a city, or an entire state, the last thing you can afford is a dead zone. The Motorola TLK100 runs on a 4G LTE network, giving you nationwide coverage without the range limitations of traditional radios. One clear signal, coast to coast.
Unlimited Range, Zero Dead Zones
Traditional walkie-talkies cap out at a few miles. The TLK100 operates on 4G LTE cellular towers, meaning your crews can communicate clearly across the continental United States—whether they're on the same block or in different states. No FCC license required, and no dead zones cutting off critical communication.
Built for the Field
The TLK100 meets MIL-STD-810G military specifications and carries an IP54 water-resistance rating, protecting it against dust, debris, and low-pressure water spray from any direction. Operating in temperatures from -4°F to +140°F, it holds up in conditions where lesser devices fail. It's the kind of durability that construction crews, fleet managers, and field technicians can rely on shift after shift.
18-Hour Battery Life
An 18-hour lithium-ion battery keeps your team connected through long shifts without scrambling for a charger. For operations running around the clock, multi-unit charging docks are available to keep your entire fleet powered and ready at all times.
