Motorola MOTOTRBO R5 Two-Way Radio

The Motorola MOTOTRBO R5 is a rugged, next-generation two-way radio designed for businesses that need clear audio, simple operation and long-term reliability. Built to perform in noisy and demanding environments, the R5 keeps teams connected, productive and safe throughout the workday.
Ideal for construction, manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, hospitality, security, events and facilities management, the Motorola R5 delivers dependable communication you can trust.

Clear, Powerful Audio

The MOTOTRBO R5 is engineered for loud and intelligible communications. Advanced noise suppression technology reduces background noise, while intelligent audio automatically adjusts volume levels based on surrounding conditions. This ensures messages are heard clearly — even in busy or high-noise environments.

Rugged & Durable Design

Designed for real-world use, the R5 meets MIL-STD-810H standards and features an IP67 rating, making it dust-tight and waterproof. The radio is built to withstand drops, harsh weather and tough working conditions, while maintaining a comfortable, ergonomic feel for daily use.

All-Day Battery Performance

With long-life battery options and Motorola smart battery technology, the R5 is designed to support full shifts without interruption. This reduces downtime and keeps your workforce focused on the task at hand.

Digital & Analogue Operation

The Motorola R5 supports both DMR digital and analogue operation, making it an ideal solution for businesses upgrading from older analogue radios while maintaining compatibility with existing systems.

  • Non-Keypad (NKP) model – streamlined, push-to-talk operation
