Abstract
One example device facilitates activation of a radio device includes an electronic processor configured to select the radio device from a plurality of types of unactivated radio devices. Each radio device of the plurality of types of unactivated radio devices may be factory loaded with a global firmware and a global codeplug. The electronic computing device may be configured to determine at least one of a region-specific codeplug version and a region-specific regulatory restriction based on a desired region of operation, and associate the at least one of the region-specific codeplug version and the region-specific regulatory restriction with a unique identifier of the radio device that are configured to be transmitted to the radio device to activate the radio device for communication within the region of operation in response to receiving an indication that the radio device has been powered-up for a first time for operation by a customer.
