New 5G rugged handset expands Siyata and Verizon’s SD7 relationship into new enterprise, public safety and 5G markets.

Siyata PTT, a leading provider of mission-critical Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) handsets and accessories, today announced the launch of its new SD7 Ultra 5G Push-to-Talk handset with Verizon, expanding the companies’ longstanding relationship in mission-critical communications.

The rugged, radio-style design provides frontline users with a dedicated Push-to-Talk experience, allowing them to communicate with their teams quickly without relying on a traditional smartphone interface. For public safety agencies, security teams, school personnel, construction crews and other organizations with employees working in the field, the SD7 Ultra is designed to support communications that are simple to access and easy to operate in demanding environments.

The SD7 Ultra 5G is expected to be available through Verizon beginning in the third week of September 2026.

Marc Seelenfreund, Siyata CEO, commented,

“We are launching our 5G SD7 Ultra with Verizon following many years of successful sales of our 4G SD7. With this new device, we are offering first responders and frontline personnel a communications tool built around the way they work with immediate Push-to-Talk access, a familiar radio-style experience and a rugged form factor designed for demanding environments. The addition of 5G connectivity and CBRS support also gives organizations greater flexibility as they expand or modernize their communications infrastructure.”

Vijay Paulrajan, VP, Product Management, Verizon Business, added:

“Our goal is to provide our customers with robust, reliable communications solutions that help keep frontline teams connected in demanding environments. The new SD7 Ultra 5G expands our portfolio with a rugged device designed for mission-critical Push-to-Talk and 5G capabilities. We are excited to build on our partnership with Siyata to deliver next-generation performance and value to enterprise and public safety organizations.”
