Stop Noise Releases New Innovative Hybrid X device to help Authorities and other Professionals with the parallel use of PMR and LTE

The first Hybrid X – released in CCW 2016 Amsterdam – combines a TETRA remote speaker mic with a rugged LTE smartphone to provide an incomparable user experience.

The Hybrid X (patent pending) from Stop Noise brings PMR terminal’s audio communication to the backside of a rugged smartphone. This combination will offer mission critical group communication through the secure PMR network (e.g. TETRA) and the high-speed data and enormous application selection of an LTE smartphone. This solution offers also body worn camera functionality without having to carry a separate device for that purpose.

All this is offered by a combination that adds only as much gear to the end user as a TETRA radio with a normal remote speaker microphone would. A proprietary smart holder has been designed for keeping the combination conveniently at hand.

The masterminds in Stop Noise R&D have seen the megatrend of authorities wanting to utilize high-speed data and to use body-worn cameras in addition to their normal requirement for secure group communication. Inspired by these facts the R&D of Stop Noise has created the unique concept of Hybrid X. In CCW2016 Amsterdam at Stop Noise’s stand D43e the first Hybrid X will be presented together with a TETRA terminal and a rugged LTE smartphone. But it is important to note that the Hybrid X concept can combine practically any radio terminal with any smartphone – with a cable or wirelessly. The connection between the two systems can be only mechanical or it can include also data connectivity.

“This is the only device on the market that allows a professional radio user organization to keep using their existing radios for mission critical communication and to get all the advantages of an LTE smartphone in a single handheld device.” explains Mr. Markku Nieminen, Managing director of Stop Noise.
