Hytera strengthens foothold in Middle East, set to transform industries operating in high-risk environments

Hytera's IS technologies serve as a significant facilitator for the seamless func oning of the hazardous
workplaces, suppor ng the industry's growth given that the sector is one of the major contributors to the
region's economy.

Capitalising on decades of Hytera’s exper se in IS electronics development, the latest devices adopt powerful IS
circuits, explosion-proof ba eries, an -sta c technology and dual an magne c mechanisms to minimise the
poten al risk of explosion caused by overhea ng and electronic sparks in highly hazardous environments with

explosive gas and combus ble dust. Built with me culous engineering and innova on, these devices emphasise
safety without compromising on performance, demonstra ng Hytera’s dedica on to delivering top-of-line
communica ons solu ons tailored for industries in the region and across the world.

PNC460U Rugged Explosion-proof Smartphone with Push-to-talk
The PNC460U, Hytera’s first UL913-cer fied ruggedized IS smartphone, is designed to facilitate instant group
communica ons, 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. Spor ng a 5-inch HD screen and Android 12 OS, the device comes
with a dedicated PTT key and seamlessly blends smartphone capabili es with PoC radio func onali es. It works
with specialised APPs and dispatch so ware to achieve versa le 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 cer fied.

Cra ed 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. Addi onally, PT890Ex and HP79XEx u lise innova ve silicone encapsula on technology to
guard against threats like liquids and flammable dust from intruding the circuits. The adop on of mul ple circuit

protec on mechanisms further enhances safety even with high audio output power of 2 wa s.

“The PNC460U marks an important milestone for Hytera to bring push-to-talk smartphones into the intrinsically
safe arena. The crucial posi on of Dubai as one of the most technologically advanced ci es 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 cri cal communica ons in hazardous environments with its LTE capability and

compa bility 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 dedica on to broadening their partnership horizons across

the region.
