Why Professionals Choose the Motorola XPR7550e VHF
The XPR7550e VHF is a portable handheld radio - 130 × 55 × 41 mm with the 3000mAh battery, 347g - with a full-color display and full keypad. It is the FKP (full-keypad) model in the MOTOTRBO XPR 7000e series, configured for supervisors, fleet coordinators, and field crews who manage the channel plan directly from the radio rather than working a single fixed channel.
It transmits 5W (high) / 1W (low) across VHF 136–174 MHz, with 1000 channels and 12.5 kHz channel spacing (25 kHz is not available in the USA under FCC narrowbanding). Frequency stability is ±0.5 ppm. The radio operates in both DMR digital and legacy analog modes and supports IP Site Connect, Capacity Plus, and - on Enabled models - Capacity Max and Connect Plus.
IP68 (2 m / 2 hrs) and MIL-STD-810 C/D/E/F/G are confirmed in the official Motorola XPR 7000e Series datasheet. A UL-approved intrinsically safe version (TIA-4950) is available for hazardous locations. Work Order Ticketing - exclusive to the FKP model - lets field workers receive, acknowledge, and close job tickets on the display without a separate device. An integrated accelerometer supports optional Man Down.
Analog receiver sensitivity is 0.16 µV (12 dB SINAD); digital is 0.14 µV (5% BER). The IMPRES Li-Ion 3000mAh battery (PMNN4493) runs about 29 hours in digital mode (5-5-90); the 2100mAh PMNN4491 runs about 20 hours. Operating temperature is −30°C to +60°C. Bluetooth 4.0 (Class 2) and integrated Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) handle wireless audio and over-the-air updates; GPS gives under-5 m accuracy. FCC Part 90 certified (FCC ID AZ489FT7066).

FCC Licensing and Compliance Support
Operating the Motorola XPR7550e VHF on licensed frequencies in the United States requires an FCC Part 90 license. This applies to commercial and industrial radio use across utilities, public works, transportation fleets, outdoor campus operations, and public safety organizations on private licensed VHF frequencies in the 136–174 MHz band.
AXDIGITAL LLC supplies the XPR7550e VHF as a genuine, factory-sealed Motorola unit, and we can share guidance on where FCC Part 90 licensing starts — including how to select VHF frequencies compatible with your existing infrastructure. For IP Site Connect deployments across multiple, geographically dispersed locations, we can point you toward what frequency coordination involves to prevent inter-site interference. For Capacity Max and Connect Plus deployments, we can point you toward the system planning considerations that apply. The XPR7550e VHF is FCC Part 90 certified (FCC ID: AZ489FT7066) and supports DMR digital modulation (ETSI TS 102 361).

FAQ
What is the difference between the XPR7550e and the XPR7350e VHF?
Both are 5W VHF radios with identical TX/RX specs, IP68, and battery life. The XPR7350e is a no-display, no-keypad model with 32 channels - for workers on fixed channel assignments. The XPR7550e adds a color display, full keypad, 1000 channels, and Work Order Ticketing - for supervisors and coordinators who manage complex channel plans from the radio.
When do I need the UL (intrinsically safe) version?
The UL model is UL-approved to TIA-4950 for hazardous locations - Division 1 (Class I/II/III, Groups C–G) and Division 2 (Class I, Groups A–D). Choose it for oil & gas, mining, chemical, or grain-handling environments where flammable gas or dust may be present. The IS rating is valid only with a Motorola intrinsically safe battery.
What is the difference between Enabled and Capable models?
Both are full digital/analog radios. Capable supports Conventional, IP Site Connect, and Capacity Plus - sufficient for most fleets. Enabled adds Capacity Max and Connect Plus for large-scale trunking. Both SKUs on this page (AAH56JDN9RA1AN and its UL version) are Enabled. Contact us to confirm which aligns with your system.
