Hybrid X Tactical Extension warns for Radioactivity supporting Bittium Tough Mobile

At the critical communications Middle East and North Africa Stop Noise is publishing new features for their Hybrid X tactical extension that has been designed for the Bittium Tough Mobile rugged and secure LTE smartphone. Among the new features is a radioactivity detector.

The unique patented Hybrid X concept from Stop Noise has been designed to help professionals with migration from PMR radio systems (e.g. TETRA) to Public Safety LTE. It 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. Now the Hybrid X has been equipped with a radioactivity detector.

Ionizing radiation which is commonly referred to as radioactivity is invisible to human senses. It is very high energy radiation which causes damage to living tissue. Exposure to ionizing radiation can result in mutation, radiation sickness, cancer and death. The sources for ionizing radiation can be for example nuclear fallout, nuclear waste and other material from nuclear power plants, materials associated to nuclear weapons and industrial equipment where such radiation is used. Such cases are important for the authorities to note so that they and the nearby people won’t be exposed to ionizing radiation without knowing about it. The police and fire fighters may have to go on a mission to power plants, industrial facilities or warehouses without knowing exactly what they will encounter. Border guards can end up in similar situations when inspecting suspicious trucks. The radioactivity detector in The Hybrid X keeps the authorities safe from dangerous radiation doses in this kind of situations. In addition it enables using an intelligent warning system for the whole organization. The system gives a bigger picture of the area where dangerous radiation levels have been detected and in this way gives the user organization better possibilities to warn and protect everyone that might be at risk.

The Hybrid X from Stop Noise is attached to the Bittium Tough Mobile LTE terminal which is the first mobile solution in the world to receive official Confidential level encryption product classification. The Hybrid X concept has been designed to fulfill professional radio users’ requirements in different operating environments. It includes a smart holder that enables using the Tough Mobile & Hybrid X combination also as a body worn camera. The streaming live video can be sent to command centre and be used as a tool for operation management. The concept includes also a vehicle holder that enables use as dashboard camera. Both holders naturally support charging on the go.
