Motorola WAVE TLK100 Push-to-Talk Over Cellular Radio
Nationwide LTE & Wi-Fi • Up to 96 Channels • 18-Hr Battery • MIL-STD 810 / IP54 • AES-256
The Motorola WAVE TLK100 is a rugged push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) two-way radio that connects your team across the country over 4G LTE and Wi-Fi networks — no repeaters, no spectrum licensing, and no manual programming. Built for fleets, large job sites, and multi-location operations that have outgrown the range limits of traditional radios, the TLK100 deploys nationwide push-to-talk in under 24 hours and runs on Motorola's nationwide WAVE PTX platform. A WAVE PTX subscription is required for connectivity.
Who It's For
The TLK100 is the rugged, no-screen workhorse for teams that need coverage well beyond a single building — towing, large retail, big-box job sites, and nationwide property management. Need a wearable, Wi-Fi-first device for indoor-centric staff instead? Step down to the Motorola TLK 25 Wi-Fi & LTE radio. Outfitting vehicles and dispatch? Pair it with the Motorola TLK 150 mobile radio — all run on the same WAVE PTX network.
