BlueTalk adapter, wireless PTT button and new version of On Guard covert wireless headset on show

Imtradex was promoting its newest wireless devices and applications at PMR Expo in Cologne last week (26-28 November 2013).
BlueTalk

First up is Imtradex’s new BlueTalk product (pictured), which is an adapter that turns Bluetooth enabled devices, including mobile phones, into a push-to-talk device. It can be used, for example, to connect to an Apple iPhone, allowing users to communicate without restricting their freedom of movement.

What Imtradex has done is to provide a much more reliable link that connects the Bluetooth device with the headset. The BlueTalk interface device, which features a Bluetooth standard version 2.1 connection, includes secure simple pairing.

BlueTalk is compatible with many headsets and Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones and radio devices. In addition to a built-in talk button, it comes with a wireless send button, which can have one button (PTT only), two buttons (PTT and full duplex) or four buttons with different options available. For more information see previous story here.

Wireless PTT button

The company also showcased its wireless PTT button, which can be customised to meet the end users requirements. For example, it can feature just one single PTT button or two buttons: one for PTT and a button that emits a beep to indicate the user cannot talk at that point.

Another customer has asked for four buttons: one to take calls; one for redial; one for PTT; and one to disconnect calls. However, it can be programmed for a range of different options depending on the individual need.


On Guard Clear+

Imtradex also demonstrated its On Guard Clear+ headset. It is designed to provide unobtrusive communication for those participating covert investigations, observations and other police, security firms and detective applications.
