INVISIO Communications launches new innovative communication solutions with hearing protection

"The demand for communication solutions with hearing protection is increasing and with the new INVISIO S-Series that have industry leading hearing protection, our product portfolio is complemented with a small, lightweight and easily operated solution", says Lars Højgård Hansen, CEO of INVISIO Communications.

The new INVISIO S-Series will be shown at the 2011 AUSA Exposition in Washington DC next week and is a communication solution developed for SWAT-teams, Public Safety Operatives and the military. The S-Series consist of the INVISIO X5 headset with the patented INVISIO Bone Conduction technology, which enables clear and interference-free communication in demanding and extreme conditions, in combination with one of four new control units. INVISIO already offers the more advanced communication solution with hearing protection, the INVISIO X5 or X6 dual headset with the INVISIO X50 control unit, as well as the straightforward INVISIO M-series without hearing protection. The S-series is a complement to INVISIO's product portfolio and broadens the range of solutions.

The INVISIO S-Series consists of four different communication products catering for different radio types and user scenarios. All four INVISIO S-Series products consist of a small, lightweight and easy to use PTT (Push to Talk) together with the highly acclaimed INVISIO X5 Dual In-Ear Headset with hearing protection. Each of the four new products offers an industry leading level of hearing protection with natural hearing (SNR 32dB/NRR 29dB) with up to 38dB in average protection. It protects the user against harmful impulse noise and if the ambient noise level exceeds a threshold that can cause hearing damage, the system automatically and instantaneously dampens the sound to a comfortable and safe level even in the most extreme situations.

"The INVISIO S-Series is developed for the dismounted soldier using either Personal Role Radios or Secure Personal Radios, but the series is also perfectly suited for Public Safety Operatives, SWAT Teams and Special Police Forces operating in very difficult environments where the need to communicate clearly is critical — at the same time as their hearing is protected", says Mark Orton, Senior Product Manager at INVISIO Communications.  

 INVISIO S-Series is:

• Simple and lightweight communication solutions with hearing protection including impulse noise protection and full 360 degree situational awareness, where the user maintains normal hearing while being protected against harmful noise.
• Developed for use by the dismounted soldier, SWAT Teams and other Public Safety Operatives for use in extreme and high noise environments.
• 4 different solutions all consisting of a PTT unit connected to the INVISIO X5 Dual In-Ear Headset.
• Industry leading certified hearing protection (SNR 32 dB/NRR 29 dB).
• IP68 — waterproof down to 2 m for 2 hours.

 The INVISIO S-Series and the product S10 are already available for sale, with the S20, S30 and S40 available during 2012.
