Motorola announced the availability of the newest addition to the MOTOTRBO family - the slim and light SL1600.

The SL1600 provides reliable push-to-talk communication for the mobile, everyday user in an ultra-slim and rugged profile. Whether you're coordinating stewards at an event or managing workers in the field, the SL1600 is boldly designed to keep you efficiently connected.

• Ultra-slim profile: at only 22mm thick, the SL1600 is ultraportable. A stubby antenna, curved edges and rugged frame make the SL1600 the perfect work partner. It can be easily carried in pockets or bags without snagging or bulging.
• Simple operation: The SL1600's side volume control, dedicated power button, prominent push-to-talk button and top toggle channel switch have all been designed for easy, intuitive one-hand access. "Fast toggle" allows users to scroll through 10 channels at a time.
• Advanced technology: shatterproof Active View display uses a matrix of LEDs behind the radio housing to communicate status information and shuts off when not in use to conserve battery life. SL1600 also features Range Max technology: advanced radio design and patented antenna to deliver enhanced range while maintaining a slim profile and long battery life.
• Rugged and reliable: The SL1600 is built to last. IP54 rated for dust and water resistance, it can be used even in harsh environments. This radio can survive many drops and tumbles. It has also been proven tough in Motorola's gruelling Accelerated Life Test, where the radio is tested against a simulated 5 years of hard service before it is accepted.
