Connecting Public Safety: Highlights from Tele-Rad’s time at the MSA Fall Conference

The annual Michigan Sheriffs’ Association (MSA) Fall Conference brings together law enforcement leaders, industry experts, and public safety innovators from across the state. For Tele-Rad, it is always a privilege to connect face-to-face with sheriffs, command staff, and fleet directors to discuss the evolving technology driving modern law enforcement.

At this year’s conference, our team showcased cutting-edge solutions designed to enhance situational awareness, streamline field communications, and keep officers safe on every shift. With service shops throughout the state, our team is dedicated to serving Michigan public safety agencies.

The Motorola APX N70

Engineered specifically for public safety personnel operating in high-stress environments, the Motorola APX N70 bridges mission-critical P25 radio performance with advanced smart connectivity. Conference attendees had the chance to see firsthand how this compact, highly ergonomic radio keeps first responders connected when it matters most.

The APX N70 stands out by blending an all-weather touchscreen with traditional tactile knobs and programmable buttons. This dual-interface design allows officers to navigate menus effortlessly in any environment, whether they are wearing heavy work gloves or operating in heavy rain.

When it comes to audio performance, the radio pairs intelligent noise suppression with dual long-range microphones. These capabilities automatically balance the speaker volume and cancel out intense background noise like sirens, traffic, or severe weather. Beyond standard P25 voice channels, integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and optional LTE enable features like SmartConnect for seamless roaming off-network, over-the-air radio management, and real-time GPS location sharing.

Emergency Vehicle Upfitting: Mobile Command Units Built for the Field

Upfitting an emergency vehicle requires far more than mounting hardware—it requires complete system integration to ensure safety, reliability, and ease of operation. During the conference, our team highlighted Tele-Rad’s complete vehicle upfitting services, demonstrating how we transform standard fleet vehicles into fully integrated, mission-ready mobile command units.

Our certified technicians install and configure complete equipment suites, tailored to the specific operational needs of each agency:

  • Emergency Lighting & Sirens
  • In-Car Camera Systems
  • Mobile Communications & Connectivity: Mobile two-way radios paired with rugged LTE modems/routers.
  • Computer Mounts & Consoles

Our team ensures that public safety fleets are equipped with safe and reliable technology built to withstand the rigorous demands of daily field operations. To learn more look out for this month’s blog, focused on Tele-Rad’s vehicle upfitting services or head to our new upfitting webpage!
