This new innovative PoC radio enables seamless communication via public and private broadband radio networks (3G/4G/Wi-Fi) as well as DMR networks

An intelligent PoC (Push-to-Talk over Cellular) radio device that combines broadband and narrowband communication in one device: This is the new PDC550 from Hytera. This innovative PoC radio enables seamless communication via public and private broadband radio networks (3G/4G/Wi-Fi) as well as DMR networks. It therefore offers a long range, diverse PMR functions and the use of customer-specific applications.

The PDC550 is characterised by convenient and simple operation and its handy and robust design. In addition, the new PoC radio from Hytera has two powerful HD cameras on the front and back for image and video transmission. This makes the PDC550 an ideal and flexible companion wherever fast and efficient communication need to be provided at all times.

Robust device for a wide range of application scenarios

The rugged device has IP68 protection and complies with MIL-STD 810G, making it ideal for harsh environments. With its anti-slip coating on the side, the PDC550 rests comfortably and securely in your hand. The radio also weighs just 375 grams including the battery, antenna and belt clip, making the PDC550 a true lightweight in its class.

The 5-inch HD multi-touch screen is equipped with Gorilla® glass. As a result the PoC radio particularly resistant to falls and the display remains legible even in strong light. The touch screen can be easily operated with gloves and even in adverse weather (e.g. rain).

High voice quality in a noisy environment

The PDC550 offers outstanding voice quality in use. The dual microphones, equipped with the latest noise cancellation technology and speech recognition function, as well as the built-in loudspeaker ensure that the audio transmission is always loud and clear, even in noisy environments.

Open application interface for endless possibilities

The Android 8.1 platform of the PDC550 offers a high level of compatibility: It is equipped with an open application interface (API), enabling customer-specific applications to be developed. Several applications can be run at the same time, the operation is user-friendly and easy. As a result, the possibilities for the effective and individual use of this smart PoC radio are almost endless.
