Is the RDX Series Replacing the XTN Series?
Yes. The XTN platform is reaching maturity (5 years in first quarter 2007). Even though the XTN remains market leader in 2W space, several enhancements are needed to satisfy customer demand.
- Return to a "brick" radio design per customer input
- Provide significantly improved audio performance
- Leverage advancements in battery technology
- Make radio install and fleet maintenance easier
Aside from obvious performance benefits, these improvements make the RDX Series radios more durable, easier to use and more comfortable to carry and use on a daily basis.

From a distribution view
