Intrinsically Safe TETRA handheld radio
For many workers, two-way radios represent an indispensable tool in their day-to-day work. Offering a robust design and advanced safety features, the new PT790Ex handset ensures that those working in combustible environments (such as mining or oil and gas) can maintain critical communications.
Hytera says the PT790 Ex is the first TETRA handheld radio with 'ai' approval worldwide. The radio can be used in areas in which an explosive atmosphere containing a mix of air and combustible gases, vapours, or mists are permanently present (Zone 0).
The device is dust-proof and water-proof in accordance with IP67, withstanding submersion in 1 metre of water for up to 30 minutes. Furthermore, the PT790 Ex meets the requirements of the US MIL-STD-810 F/G standard.
To further boost industrial safety, the PT790 Ex features a man-down alarm sensor, and an adjustable time alarm (lone worker). The standard equipment GNSS module receives positioning data via GPS, GLONASS and Beidou, and can transfer this data for further analysis to the control room, or an AVL dispatcher.
The PT790 Ex provides rapid access to the TETRA radio network and to its services. It meets the regulations of the ETSI TETRA standard, and is therefore compatible with infrastructures and terminals from various manufactures.
Besides voice and data communication, the PT790 Ex offers many additional functions: encryption, programmable keys, etc. Moreover, with connection options for expansions and optional accessories, the PT790 Ex is flexible to meet your requirements.
