Hytera strengthens foothold in Middle East, set to transform industries operating in high-risk environments | UAE News 24/7
Rugged Explosion-proof Smartphone with Push-to-talk as well as PT890Ex and HP79XEx
Intrinsically Safe Portable Radios, this launch makes Hytera the provider with a comprehensive
IS device range in the global market across DMR, TETRA and PoC technologies.

Hytera’s innovative devices are poised to play a pivotal role in enhancing safety and
connectivity standards across high-risk work environments such as fire rescue, oil and gas,
refinery, chemical and mining. Beyond mitigating the operational safety risks in such situations,
these novel technologies also contribute to the Middle East’s economic growth. For instance, the
Middle East accounts for approximately 30 per cent of the world’s total oil production, housing
five of the largest oil fields globally. Hytera’s IS technologies serve as a significant facilitator for
the seamless functioning of the hazardous workplaces, supporting 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 expertise in IS electronics development, the latest devices
adopt powerful IS circuits, explosion-proof ba eries, anti-static technology and dual
antimagnetic mechanisms to minimise the potential risk of explosion caused by overheating and
electronic sparks in highly hazardous environments with explosive gas and combustible dust.
Built with meticulous engineering and innovation, these devices emphasise safety without
compromising on performance, demonstrating Hytera’s dedication to delivering top-of-line
communications solutions 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-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 wa s.

“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.
