Zebra Technologies' FR55 Mobile Computer Achieves Certification for Airbus Agnet® Work+ Application

Integration Delivers Enhanced Push-to-Talk, Live Video, and Data Sharing Capabilities for First Responders.

Zebra Technologies, a global leader in rugged mobile computing solutions, announced that its FR55 mobile computer has received official certification for use with the Agnet® Work+ mobile application from Airbus. This certification marks a significant milestone for the public safety community, enabling mission-critical communication capabilities that first responders can rely on in the field.

The integration of Zebra's FR55 with Agnet® Work+ empowers first responders with a comprehensive suite of secure communication tools, including push-to-talk (PTT), live video streaming, and real-time data sharing. These capabilities are designed to enhance team coordination and situational awareness in even the most demanding operational environments.

"This certification underscores our commitment to equipping first responders with the most reliable and capable tools available. The combination of Zebra's FR55 and Airbus's Agnet® Work+ application delivers a powerful, integrated solution that public safety teams can depend on when it matters most."

The FR55 is purpose-built to meet the unique demands of public safety operations. The device bridges narrowband radio systems with advanced LTE/5G broadband connectivity, enabling real-time data sharing for faster response times and improved officer safety. Designed for field use, it features a large glove-compatible display, a dedicated Duress button for emergency alerts, and hot-swappable removable batteries for uninterrupted operation during extended deployments. Dual Nano SIM support and a comprehensive accessory ecosystem further extend its versatility.

Key Technical Capabilities of the FR55

Advanced Broadband Connectivity: The FR55 leverages 2nd generation 5G (Release 16) for the fastest and most secure cellular connections available. With the broadest selection of radio bands in the market, the device ensures support for global public safety frequency bands.

Narrowband Interoperability: The FR55 delivers seamless interoperability with existing digital radio infrastructure through full integration with MCX platforms, including TETRA. Simultaneous broadcast of MCX services — including PTT, data and video — is supported via eMBMS, ensuring no officer is left out of critical communications.

Comprehensive Security: Security is at the core of the FR55. The device features a Secure Element for tamper resistance, Android Strongbox for sensitive data protection, FIPS 140-2 compliance for data in motion and at rest, and LifeGuard for Android™ for ongoing OS-level security updates — delivering best-in-class protection for mission-critical communications.

Agnet® Work+ by Airbus is a mission-critical communications platform trusted by public safety organizations worldwide. The application delivers secure, feature-rich communication capabilities over broadband networks, ensuring interoperability and resilience for frontline teams.
