Motorola Solutions’ APX™ XE Remote Speaker Microphone Wins Prestigious iF Gold Award
21 Febbraio 2012 - 3:00PM
Business Wire
Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI), a leading provider of
mission-critical communications solutions, has been awarded the
2012 iF gold award for product design for the APX™ XE Remote
Speaker Microphone (RSM). Part of Motorola’s award-winning APX
product portfolio, the RSM was lauded for its unique design and
form-factor and is one of 100 gold iF recipients to earn top honor
in this year’s international design competition.
KEY FACTS
- Designed specifically to enhance
firefighter communications and safety in extreme conditions, the
RSM combines the priorities of mission-critical users with
Motorola’s 80 years of experience in ergonomics, design and public
safety technology. It is the first RSM for the fire market to
feature two microphones, providing exceptional noise suppression
for first responders working in extremely loud environments.
- The iF design awards were introduced in
1953 by the German-based iF International Forum Design to recognize
outstanding achievement in international design. 2012 marks the
first year iF has combined four previously individual design
competitions – iF product design, iF material design, iF
communication design and iF packaging design – into a single awards
program.
- This year’s panel of international
judges reviewed more than 4,000 entries from 48 countries and
awarded 1,218 products with an iF design award. The top 100 entries
were chosen to receive the coveted iF gold award, distinguishing
the very best in design.
- Motorola’s RSM was among the 100 iF
gold winners honored at the iF awards ceremony in Munich, Germany
on Feb. 10, 2012. The event drew more than 1,600 people and took
place during Munich Creative Business Week, a week-long program of
design-focused exhibitions, workshops and panel discussions.
- Motorola has received iF awards for
various products over the years, including the APX XE series
radios, but this is the first iF gold award recognition.
- 2012 iF design award winners will be
presented at the iF design exhibition in Hannover, Germany, which
runs in parallel to CeBIT, March 6-10, 2012. Entries will also be
shown at the iF design exhibition in Hamburg, Germany, then travel
to China to be presented at the iF design exhibition in
Hainan.
SUPPORTING QUOTES
Curt Croley, senior director, Innovation & Design,
Motorola Solutions
“Throughout the development of the RSM, our designers worked
closely with firefighters to understand their needs – conducting
interviews, ride-alongs and immersion in hands-on fire training.
This direct feedback translated into critical product features,
such as dual microphones for extreme noise environments, a strobe
light visible in thick smoke, exaggerated controls and a
high-visibility, bright Impact Green exterior. The iF competition
is known for highlighting product designs that improve the lives of
end users, so we’re thrilled to have won gold for a product we
partnered with our customers to develop.”
