Set to transform industries operating in high-risk environments
Hytera Communications, a leading global provider of professional communications technologies and solutions, officially launched its latest and most advanced range of intrinsically safe (IS) portable two-way radios and smartphone at recently concluded GITEX Technology Week 2023 in Dubai.
Hytera’s innovative devices are poised to play a pivotal role in enhancing safety and connectivity standards across high-risk work environments such as fire rescue, oil and gas, refinery, chemical and mining, according to a press communique.
Beyond mitigating the operational safety risks in such situations, these novel technologies also contribute to the Middle East’s economic growth. For instance, the Middle East accounts for approximately 30 per cent of the world’s total oil production, housing five of the largest oil fields globally.
Hytera’s IS technologies serve as a significant facilitator for the seamless functioning of the hazardous workplaces, supporting the industry’s growth given that the sector is one of the major contributors to the region’s economy.
Smartphone with Push-to-talk
The PNC460U, Hytera’s first UL913-certified ruggedized IS smartphone, is designed to facilitate instant group communications, push-to-talk (PTT) calls, mobile office APPs and data transmission in hazardous environments.
Intrinsically Safe Portable Radios
Bolstering Hytera’s Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) offerings are two new entries – the PT890Ex and HP79XEx. The PT890Ex, a TETRA portable radio, and its counterpart, the HP79XEx, a DMR variant, are both IECEx certified.
“The crucial position of Dubai as one of the most technologically advanced cities in the Middle East, as well as the region’s availability of oil and gas reserves, further adds to the value of the product launch,” stated Stanley Song, Deputy General Manager, Hytera Overseas.
