P25 Radio Communication for Critical Operations
P25 (Project 25) radio systems are built for public safety and mission-critical operations, offering reliable communication and seamless interoperability with legacy analogue networks.
In Australia, P25 is the standard for the Government Radio Network (GRN), used by Police, Fire and Ambulance services. Its rugged design and ease of use make it ideal for emergency responders working in high-pressure environments. P25 is also a trusted solution in the mining sector, where its high-power capability enables broader coverage than alternative technologies such as TETRA. This makes it particularly effective for large-scale, remote operations where consistent communication is essential.
Solutions such as Motorola’s APX™ series maximise the benefits of the P25 standard, delivering dependable performance, cross-system compatibility and durable construction for demanding fieldwork.

Developed by Public Safety Communications Experts
P25 radio systems offer highly reliable and secure communication, preserving audio quality across both strong and weak signal areas. They operate in two modes:
Conventional Mode
P25 Phase 1 conventional offers the core benefits of digital two-way radio in a simple, easy-to-use format. It’s ideal for smaller teams or operations with lower traffic volumes. However, it may not be suitable for large user groups, as limited channel availability can lead to congestion during peak usage.
Trunked Mode
P25 Phase 1 trunked uses the full 12.5 kHz channel bandwidth to support more advanced features, including private person-to-person calls and seamless data integration, such as over-the-air programming. While it offers greater efficiency and flexibility, it typically supports fewer simultaneous voice channels.
