September 2023 marked the official discontinuation of the widely used Motorola Solutions MOTOTRBO DP1400 radio, as announced by Motorola Solutions. The long-serving DP1400 has been replaced by the Motorola Solutions MOTOTRBO R2, which brings with it a host of enhanced features and modern improvements.
The MOTOTRBO R2 is a more compact, lightweight, and rugged device, designed to meet the evolving demands of professional users across industries such as construction, manufacturing,
logistics, and public safety. It offers improved range, longer battery life, and superior audio performance, while
maintaining the high standards of reliability and durability associated with Motorola Solutions equipment.
Importantly, Motorola Solutions has ensured a smooth transition for existing DP1400 users. Many of the accessories used with the DP1400—including headsets, chargers, and carry solutions—remain compatible with the R2. This allows organisations to upgrade their radio units without the need for significant reinvestment in supporting equipment.
Furthermore, due to the DP1400’s widespread adoption and continued use across global markets, accessories for the model will remain available for purchase in the near term. Users can conveniently identify compatible components through dedicated accessory support tools such as the Airsys Accessories Finder:

The launch of the MOTOTRBO R2 reflects Motorola Solutions' ongoing commitment to innovation in professional communications, offering users improved performance while maintaining continuity with legacy systems.
Life Cycle Support
Following the cancellation of the MOTOTRBO DP1400 Portable Radios, only devices that are under an active service agreement or within a valid warranty period at point of cancellation, will continue to be supported for the duration of their outstanding service contract. No further service contract renewals will be available unless otherwise
stated in writing by Motorola Solutions.
