Health, Safety and Security Review Middle East - Hytera set to transform industries operating in high-risk environments
PNC460U rugged explosion-proof smartphone with push-to-talk

The PNC460U 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.
