Hytera PD485

When seamless communication while on the move is vital to team coordination, the Hytera PD485 digital two-way radio steps up to the challenge. With its array of advanced features, OLED display, and full keypad, the PD485 offers a straightforward communication solution ideal for sectors such as manufacturing, facilities management, and security.

Primarily, the PD485 excels in delivering what’s expected from top-notch two-way radios. Its digital voice processing and robust output ensure impeccable audio quality, ensuring clear voice communications even in noisy surroundings.

Designed for convenience and adaptability, the PD485 features not only the conventional push-to-talk (PTT) button but also supports VOX (Voice-Operated Exchange). This hands-free voice activation feature enables users to activate the radio microphone at speaking volume without pressing the PTT button. Additionally, with optional Bluetooth compatibility, users can pair the radio with wireless audio accessories for maximum hands-free convenience.

Equipped with a full keypad and display, the PD485 facilitates easy customization of optional features to suit varying work environments. It also supports text messaging, while optional end-to-end encryption ensures privacy for sensitive communications.

For professionals in high-risk sectors like security or heavy industry, the PD485 offers a range of safety protocols. Emergency calling and priority interrupt ensure critical messages can always get through, even during busy call channels. A one-touch Emergency Alarm alerts all network-connected devices, while remote monitoring allows supervisors to check user status.

Upgrading to the PD485G provides teams with satellite tracking and location-based services. With a built-in GPS module and antenna for outdoor positioning, the PD485G assists in pinpointing the source of Emergency Alarms, facilitating timely responses in emergencies.

Additional optional features include TDMA trunking, which enhances frequency efficiency and allows multiple broadcasts on the same channel. This not only boosts channel capacity but also ensures critical messages reach their destination when needed.

The PD485 also supports dispatch applications, compatible with Hytera’s SmartOne and SmartDispatch communication management platforms. Through these platforms, users can run a radio registration service (RSS), enabling central dispatch command to monitor radio status and allocate job tickets.

While primarily a digital mobile radio (DMR), the PD485 is also a dual-mode handset capable of operating as an analogue radio. Its ability to monitor both analogue and digital signals simultaneously makes it a valuable asset in mixed fleets, aiding organizations in their transition to digital.
