The PT590's dual-frequency positioning processing technology has raised the location accuracy to 1m, which is one of a kind in the industry.

Hytera Communications has expanded its TETRA radio portfolio by releasing PT590, a mission critical communications portable TETRA radio that is designed to provide excellent coverage, superior audio quality, and boosted productivity and safety features to ensure the capability of frontline workers to respond and act at all times.

In critical moments, every second counts, and the PT590 delivers unparalleled clarity in every conversation. The radio offers outstanding audio quality with its high-sensitivity speaker and optimized cavity design that produces loudness up to 106 phons. Its unique microphone cavity design eliminates wind noise, guaranteeing clear voice communication even in windy conditions. The AI noise cancellation algorithm adjusts to different types of noise, while advanced echo reduction algorithms suppress howling echoes effectively even when radios are as close as only 30cm to each other.

With stable continuous 3W RF power and industry-leading -120dbm RX sensitivity, the PT590 extends its communication range and ensures complete information transmission. PT590's dual-frequency positioning processing technology has raised the location accuracy to 1m, which is one of a kind in the industry, empowering command centers to locate frontline personnel more quickly and precisely.

The PT590 boasts a compact and lightweight design measuring 125*55*31mm in dimension and weighing 285g. The large emergency button is easy to locate and press; four separated navigation keys enable high accuracy of operation even without looking at them; the large textured push-to-talk (PTT) key is finger-friendly for users on the move. The grid-style menu displays nine applications at a time, while simplified menu structures reduce steps and ensure immediate access to the desired functions.

The PT590 comes in two different versions: the standard version and the advanced version. The PT590 standard version has been launched, which offers exceptional features for mission-critical communication needs, while the advanced version will be launched later this year, offering more versatility including car kit, WLAN connectivity, and voice command features.

“Professionals in mission-critical sectors require proven and trusted radios to ensure connectivity with the team when getting their jobs done,” said Steven Hao, Deputy Director of Global Marketing and Solutions at Hytera. “Equipped with an abundance of innovative features, PT590 raises the bar of TETRA portables; it’s not only ready for the missions but also ready to lead the evolution of TETRA devices.”

The date of new product availability may vary across countries.
