Hytera Communications (SZSE: 002583), a global leader in professional communication technologies and solutions, unveiled its latest portfolio of intrinsically safe (IS) portable two-way radios and digital communication solutions at the Oil & Gas Asia exhibition in Kuala Lumpur from September 25-27, 2024.

Designed to enhance safety, productivity, and efficiency in hazardous environments, Hytera's explosion-proof communication devices leverage advanced technologies, enabling Oil & Gas companies to boost workplace safety and operation efficiency with a reasonable total ownership cost (TOC). The showcased solutions cover all major two-way radio protocols, including Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA), Digital Mobile Radio (DMR), and Push-to-talk over Cellular (PoC). Hytera is the world’s only vendor offering such a comprehensive range of intrinsically safe push-to-talk devices, including the and PT890Ex and HP79XEx Intrinsically Safe Portable Radios, and PNC460U Rugged Explosion-proof Smartphone.

Capitalizing on Hytera’s decades of expertise in IS electronics, these devices feature advanced IS circuits, explosion-proof batteries, anti-static technology, and dual antimagnetic mechanisms. These innovations minimize the risk of explosions caused by overheating or electronic sparks, ensuring optimal performance in environments with explosive gases and combustible dust. Hytera’s products set the standard for safety and reliability, providing industries with cutting-edge communications solutions designed to meet the demands of oil and gas industries.

PNC460U Rugged Explosion-proof Smartphone with Push-to-talk

Hytera’s PNC460U, a UL913-certified ruggedized IS smartphone, is engineered for instant group communication in high-risk environments. Equipped with Push-to-talk (PTT) functionality, mobile office applications, and data transmission capabilities, it is designed to enhance efficiency in hazardous operations.

The PNC460U complies with stringent explosion-proof standards for use in Class I, II, III, Division 1, Groups C-G environments and T4 temperature ratings, operating in conditions ranging from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). Supporting PTT voice and video calls, as well as visualized dispatching through specialized apps and dispatch software, this smartphone provides reliable, safe communication for teams in the field.

PT890Ex and HP79XEx Intrinsically Safe Portable Radios

Further expanding its professional mobile radio (PMR) offerings, Hytera introduced the PT890Ex and HP79XEx intrinsically safe portable radios. The PT890Ex, a TETRA-compliant radio, and the HP79XEx, a DMR variant, are both IECEx certified. These devices are built using explosion-proof materials to ensure safe operation in extreme temperatures ranging from -25°C to 60°C (-13°F to 140°F) without triggering explosions.

Both radios feature innovative silicone encapsulation technology, which protects internal circuits from liquids and flammable dust, and utilize multiple circuit protection mechanisms to further ensure safety. With a high audio output of 2 watts, the PT890Ex and HP79XEx deliver clear communication without compromising safety.

Hytera’s latest IS devices, combining innovation and meticulous engineering, provide industries in the region and around the world with secure, reliable communication solutions, underscoring the company’s commitment to advancing safety and performance in hazardous environments.
