More Channels, Full Compatibility and Greater Value

Motorola CLS radios have long been a popular choice for restaurants, retail stores, healthcare facilities, hospitality operations and other businesses that rely on fast, dependable staff communication. But if you already use Motorola CLS radios or are considering a new radio system you now have another option.

JTECH Extend two-way radios are compatible with Motorola CLS radios and accessories, giving businesses the flexibility to add radios, replace existing units or build a complete new system without being locked into a single radio model.

And in many cases, Extend can provide more functionality for a lower price.

JTECH Extend vs. Motorola CLS: What's the Difference?

Both JTECH Extend and Motorola CLS are professional UHF business radios designed for everyday staff communication. The biggest differences come down to channels, power, flexibility and price.

JTECH Extend radios offer 2 watts of power, 64 frequencies and a choice of 2, 6 or 16 channels. The Motorola CLS1110 is a single-channel, 1-watt radio, while the CLS1410 provides four channels.

Can JTECH Extend Radios Work With Motorola CLS Radios?

Yes. JTECH Extend radios are designed to work with Motorola CLS two-way radios and compatible accessories. That means businesses don't necessarily have to replace an entire CLS radio fleet simply because they need additional radios.

For example, a restaurant currently using ten Motorola CLS radios could add several Extend radios to accommodate new employees. A hotel could replace a damaged CLS radio with an Extend radio. A retail operation could gradually expand its radio fleet with Extend rather than replacing its existing equipment.

For organizations with multiple locations, that compatibility can make purchasing and maintaining radio systems significantly easier.

You Don't Have to Replace Your Motorola CLS System

One of the biggest advantages of Extend is the ability to mix radios within an existing CLS environment. If your current Motorola CLS system is working well, there may be no reason to replace it.

Instead, Extend gives you another option when you need to:

• Add radios for new employees
• Replace lost or damaged radios
• Expand communication to another department
• Add additional channels
• Purchase radios when CLS inventory is limited
• Equip a new location while continuing to use CLS equipment at existing locations

JTECH also offers compatible headsets and earpieces designed for use with both Motorola CLS and JTECH Extend radios. This creates a practical upgrade path: keep the equipment that's working and add Extend where it makes sense.

What Happens If Motorola CLS Radios Are Difficult to Get?

Radio availability can sometimes create challenges for businesses that have standardized on one model. If Motorola CLS inventory becomes limited or a particular radio or accessory isn't immediately available, Extend provides another option. Rather than waiting to replace a damaged radio or purchasing an entirely new communication system you can add compatible Extend radios to the existing fleet.

This is particularly useful for businesses such as restaurants, hotels, retailers and healthcare facilities where radios are part of daily operations. Being short even one or two radios can affect communication between employees and slow response times.

With Extend, businesses have another source for:

Individual Replacement Radios
Add one or several Extend radios to an existing Motorola CLS fleet.

Expansion Radios
Increase the number of employees carrying radios without changing your entire system.

Accessories
Use compatible headsets and other accessories across the CLS and Extend environment.

Complete Systems
New locations can deploy an Extend system while other locations continue using Motorola CLS.

Why Would I Choose Extend Instead of Motorola CLS?

For many businesses, the answer isn't necessarily Extend or Motorola.

It can be Extend AND Motorola.

Motorola CLS remains a proven business-radio platform, and JTECH continues to offer and support Motorola CLS radios.

Extend provides another option for customers who want:

• Lower acquisition cost
• More channels for the money
• 2 watts of power
• 2-, 6- or 16-channel configurations
• Compatibility with an existing Motorola CLS radio fleet
• Compatibility with CLS accessories
• An alternative source for replacement and expansion radios
• A two-year warranty

Extend also includes features such as wireless cloning, a built-in flashlight and repeater compatibility.

A Practical Option for Multi-Location Businesses

Compatibility becomes even more valuable for companies operating dozens or hundreds of locations. Instead of requiring every location to replace functioning CLS equipment, businesses can use Extend as part of their normal replacement cycle.

A company might continue operating existing Motorola CLS radios while purchasing Extend radios for:

• New locations
• Replacement units
• Additional employees
• Seasonal staffing
• Department expansions
• Locations where additional channels are needed

Over time, this allows the organization to control radio costs without forcing an expensive company-wide equipment change. Want to discuss with one of our experts? Contact Us

Can Extend Use My Existing CLS Chargers and Headsets?

JTECH offers Extend replacement radios specifically for businesses that already have Motorola CLS equipment. These replacement radios are compatible with CLS1110/1410 radios and accessories and can be used with Motorola CLS single- or multi-unit chargers.

JTECH also offers several headset styles that work with both CLS and Extend radios, including swivel, D-ring, Secret Service-style and in-ear options.

One important distinction: when purchasing an Extend charging base/power supply, follow the power-supply requirements specified for that JTECH charging equipment.

The Bottom Line: Extend Your CLS System Without Starting Over

If you already have a Motorola CLS radio system, adding capacity doesn't have to mean replacing equipment that still works. JTECH Extend gives businesses a lower-cost way to add radios, replace individual units and expand existing CLS systems while continuing to use compatible equipment and accessories.

And for businesses purchasing a completely new system, Extend offers another compelling advantage: more channel options and more radio power at a price that can be lower than even a single-channel Motorola CLS radio.

Whether you're replacing one radio, expanding an existing fleet or outfitting an entirely new location, JTECH can help you determine the right combination of Motorola CLS and JTECH Extend radios for your operation.

Already using Motorola CLS? You may not need a new radio system you may just need to Extend it.
