Programming Over Project 25 (POP 25) is a new Motorola value added feature which allows our ASTRO® 25 subscriber radios to be accessed and updated over-the-air via the Digital ASTRO 25 Integrated Voice and Data (IV&D) trunked system anywhere, anytime within the radio’s coverage area. Multiple subscribers can be updated at the same time via multiple programming stations, while still retaining full use of the radio during configuration data transfer.

Radio voice calls take absolute priority over data transfers, thus ensuring that the updates will not interfere with users’ ability to communicate. This feature has been designed for easy use for technicians and radio users alike, with minimal training required. Other equally important features include:

• Full Radio Configuration Control: Technicians utilize the familiar Customer Programming Software (CPS) to perform updates over-the-air. POP 25 provides access to all configuration parameters programmable through the traditional programming software.
• Flexible Configuration Update: Once the configuration update has been downloaded to the subscriber, the radio user has the ability to install the new changes right away or delay the installation until the next time the radio is powered up. As an option, the radio can be configured to provide the user with the ability to reject a configuration update.

Owners of Motorola ASTRO 25 subscriber radios can now take advantage of seamless connectivity and upgrades through Motorola’s state-of-the-art Programming Over Project 25 (POP25).
