Abstract
A multi-sided radio (200) includes an audio centric side (210) including a speaker (208) operationally independent of functions on an opposing side, a data centric side (220) on the opposing side of the audio centric side, and a top controller side (250) having at least one control function (202 or 204). The audio centric side can include an option module (242) for placement as an insert enabling additional functions including camera functions, environmental sensors, WLAN transceivers, audio upgrades, and bar code readers as examples. The data centric side can include a keypad (214 and 216) and a display (218). The speaker can reside behind the display of the data centric side and has full porting out of the audio centric side.
