Hytera claims this 325-gram device from its series of multi-mode advanced radios is a communication solution for all types of mission-critical operations as well as for daily business operations with special requirements.

The PTC680 combines TETRA wireless functionality, LTE technology and the benefits of an Android-based smartphone with flexible data transfer via Wi-Fi, NFC or Bluetooth in a single device.

It is also said to be “sufficiently robust” (MIL-STD 810 G and IP68 certified) to withstand the harshest and most challenging environments.

Boasting two cameras – the front one has five megapixels and the back one has 13 megapixels – they take pictures and videos in full HD.

The data storage of the radio (32 GB) can be expanded via micro SD card slots and the PTC680 captures video in real-time and provides continuous communication with back-end systems, such as emergency response communications to their control centres.

The company claims this ability to quickly share information results in faster response times in application situations, making situation-based decisions easier.

It also says using this feature in industry makes operations much more efficient.

A 3.6-inch, high-resolution colour touchscreen user interface is supposedly “simple and intuitive” to use, even with gloves, for faster emergency response and quick access to information.

It can be operated with just one hand via a rotary knob, a smart key, the PTT button and five programmable buttons.

The most important information can be captured at a glance on the top display.
