Motorola XPR3300e MOTOTRBO Digital Portable Two-Way Radio (UHF 403–512 MHz)

The XPR3300e UHF is built for organizations running structured communication systems across indoor industrial environments — manufacturing plants coordinating production zones, utilities managing indoor infrastructure teams, construction operations on multi-building sites, and facilities where radios need to function inside a managed network rather than as independent push-to-talk devices. The no-display form factor keeps the interface simple for workers who use radio as a utility tool: power on, select channel, transmit. At 264g (9 oz) with the standard battery, it is lighter than the CP200d UHF (341g) while delivering substantially higher specification across every category — IP67 vs IP54, 5-year warranty vs 2-year, integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and system-level trunking support.

UHF at 403–512 MHz is the standard frequency band for indoor multi-floor facilities in the United States. At this range, signals penetrate concrete walls, steel structural elements, elevator shafts, and mechanical equipment floors — the building materials that make indoor radio coverage predictable across manufacturing plants, hospital buildings, distribution centers, and multi-story commercial facilities. The XPR3300e UHF frequency range extends to 512 MHz, wider than the CP200d's 403–470 MHz ceiling, providing additional frequency options for organizations with existing licenses above 470 MHz or operating in congested frequency markets.

Confirmed in the official Motorola XPR 3000e Series datasheet (motorolasolutions.com, February 2021), HazLoc-certified models of the XPR3300e are UL-Approved to TIA-4950 for use in Hazardous Locations — Division 1, Class I, II, III, Groups C, D, E, F, G — environments where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust may be present. This certification applies to chemical processing plants, petroleum facilities, grain handling and milling operations, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and paint or solvent environments where standard commercial radios cannot be deployed for safety compliance. The HazLoc model requires a Motorola UL-Approved battery (PMNN4490); the radio and battery are evaluated together as a certified system. No equivalent HazLoc option exists for the CP100d or CP200d.

The IP67 rating — confirmed in the official datasheet at 1 meter depth for 30 minutes — provides full submersion protection, a significant step above the IP54 found on the CP100d and CP200d. For manufacturing environments with hose washdowns, food and beverage processing with wet sanitization protocols, or facilities where radios are regularly exposed to standing water, IP67 eliminates the risk of water intrusion that IP54-rated radios carry. The standard 2100mAh IMPRES battery delivers 18.5 hours in digital mode under a 5-5-90 duty cycle. The optional 3000mAh high-capacity battery extends runtime to 27.5 hours — covering three shifts without a battery swap, which reduces operational disruption in continuous production environments where radio exchange mid-shift is difficult to coordinate.

Integrated Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) enables over-the-air software updates and fleet management across the entire radio deployment without collecting individual units for cable programming. For manufacturing operations where radios are distributed across large production areas, Wi-Fi OTA eliminates the logistics of manual radio collection — updates push to all units when they come within range of a configured access point. IMPRES Battery Management monitors battery health and charge cycle history across the fleet, identifying batteries approaching end of service life before they fail in the field.

Operating the Motorola XPR3300e UHF on licensed frequencies in the United States requires an FCC Part 90 license. This applies to commercial and business radio use across manufacturing, utilities, construction, hospitals, and industrial facilities on private licensed UHF frequencies in the 403–512 MHz band.

AXDIGITAL supplies the XPR3300e UHF as a genuine, factory-sealed Motorola unit, and we can share guidance on where FCC Part 90 licensing starts — including how to identify the right UHF frequencies for your facility. UHF is the recommended band for indoor, multi-floor industrial facilities. For multi-site deployments using IP Site Connect or Capacity Plus, we can point you toward what frequency coordination across buildings and sites involves to prevent interference.

The XPR3300e UHF is FCC Part 90 certified (FCC ID: AZ489FT7068). For HazLoc UL-rated models used in classified hazardous environments, we can also point you toward the TIA-4950 compliance and battery certification requirements that apply.
