Description
Ultralight On-Site Business Two-Way Radios
Sleek, palm-sized 1-Watt UHF business radios engineered for hospitality, retail, healthcare, and customer service teams. Built to keep your team focused, connected, and professional — all shift long.
Today’s service environments demand instant communication. With online reviews and guest expectations at an all-time high, your team can’t afford missed messages or delayed responses. The Motorola CLP1000e series was purpose-built for exactly this — a radio that blends into professional attire, stays out of the way, and delivers reliable push-to-talk communication from the back of house to the front of store.
Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, the CLP1000e combines an ultra-compact form factor with 1-Watt UHF coverage across 90 business-exclusive frequencies in the 450–470 MHz band. Coverage extends up to 100,000 square feet or 10 floors — and up to 250,000 square feet or 20 floors when paired with a repeater. Available as the single-channel CLP1010e or the repeater-capable 8-channel CLP1080e, both models feature an antimicrobial housing, oversized PTT button, smart status glow ring, and all-day lithium-ion battery life. Communication that’s as polished as your team.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between the Motorola CLP1010e and CLP1080e?
The CLP1010e is a single-channel radio ideal for simple single-team operations, while the CLP1080e offers 8 channels, voice-guided navigation menus, repeater capability, and an escalate call feature for multi-department teams.
