Hytera strengthens foothold in Middle East, set to transform industries operating in high-risk environments - mid-east.info
The PNC460U, Hytera’s first UL913-certified ruggedized IS smartphone, is designed to
facilitate instant group communications, i.e. push-to-talk (PTT) calls, mobile office APPs and

data transmission in hazardous environments. It complies with explosion-proof requirements
for use in Class I, II, III, Division 1, Groups C-G and T4 and -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F)

areas. Sporting a 5-inch HD screen and Android 12 OS, the device comes with a dedicated
PTT key and seamlessly blends smartphone capabilities with PoC radio functionalities. It
works with specialised APPs and dispatch software to achieve versatile PTT voice calls, video

calls, and visualised dispatching.

PT890Ex and HP79XEx 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. Crafted with advanced explosion-proof
materials, the new radios are engineered to withstand intense temperatures ranging from
-25°C to 60°C (-13°F to 140°F) in hazardous environments without the risk of triggering

explosions. Additionally, PT890Ex and HP79XEx utilise innovative silicone encapsulation
technology to guard against threats like liquids and flammable dust from intruding the

circuits. The adoption of multiple circuit protection mechanisms further enhances safety
even with high audio output power of 2 watts.

“The PNC460U marks an important milestone for Hytera to bring push-to-talk smartphones

into the intrinsically safe arena. 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,” said Stanley Song,

Deputy General Manager of Hytera Overseas.

“The PNC460U is set to transform critical communications in hazardous environments with
its LTE capability and compatibility with the whole Hytera ecosystem. Together with our

newest DMR and TETRA intrinsically safe radios, the new range will boost the safety and
efficiency of hazardous industries to the maximum,” he added.

Hytera’s presence at GITEX 2023 exemplifies their dedication to broadening their
partnership horizons across the region.

The availability of PNC460U, PT890Ex and HP79XEx varies across countries. For more
