Motorola DLR1020 Digital 2-Channel Business Radio
License-Free 900 MHz • 2 Channels • Digital FHSS • IP52 • No Licence Required
The Motorola DLR1020 was a license-free 900 MHz digital two-way radio built for Canadian teams that needed clear, private communication without ISED licensing or interference. With 2 private channels, Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology, and an ultra-light, antimicrobial design, the DLR1020 was a favourite business two-way radio for hospitality, retail, education, and professional offices.
⚠ This Has Been Discontinued
The Motorola DLR1020 has been discontinued and replaced by the Motorola CURVE DLR110. The single best next step is to view the current replacement — the Motorola CURVE DLR110 Wi-Fi Enhanced Business Radio — which delivers the same license-free 900 MHz digital communication in Motorola's current lineup.

Recommended Replacement
The Motorola DLR1020 has been retired and is no longer available. Its direct successor is the Motorola CURVE DLR110 Wi-Fi Enhanced Business Radio, which carries forward the same license-free 900 MHz digital platform — no ISED licence required — while adding Wi-Fi enhancement for teams that need to stay connected across larger or multi-site operations. If you previously deployed the DLR1020, the CURVE DLR110 is the recommended path to keep your fleet on Motorola's current digital lineup.
Who Was the Motorola DLR1020 For?
The DLR1020 was built for small teams that needed simple, private, license-free communication — retail staff and managers, hotels and front desks, office buildings and medical facilities, and schools, daycares, and campus operations. Teams with those same needs today should look at the Motorola CURVE DLR110 or browse the full range of current business two-way radios.
