ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- (APCO, Motorola Solutions Booth #1309) - The first purpose-built smartphone device for Public Safety LTE broadband just got even better with the introduction of the Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYS: MSI) LEX 700 Mission Critical Handheld with Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) operating system. Now public safety professionals have an even more powerful and versatile tool to stay steps ahead of criminals and have street-ready data available at their fingertips to help fight fires, aid patients and meet mission-critical broadband communications needs.


The multiband, multimode LEX 700 Android handheld keeps public safety professionals always connected to the command center, their peers, and mission-critical multimedia content. That means first responders now are ready to meet new threats on the street with an enhanced device offering the flexibility of Android- based data applications, push-to- talk (PTT) voice and telephony.

The LEX 700 Android offers first responders a virtual partner helping them to monitor the environment, gather information and be more aware in every circumstance. With a compact, rugged form factor and quick-response interface, this purpose-built, mission-critical handheld is designed to provide first and secondary responders access to intuitive multimedia applications that increase situational awareness, enhance tactical collaboration and enable greater in-field productivity.
