OverviewHytera PDC690 dual-mode rugged radio combines a mission-critical DMR radio with an Android-based smartphone in a single device. It supports narrowband DMR and broadband cellular/WLAN to deliver mission-critical voice, data, photo/video capture and sharing, and multi-constellation positioning. The device enables seamless communication between DMR networks and public networks (2G/3G/LTE) and WLAN and is built for demanding outdoor and emergency scenarios with dust/water protection and shock resistance.
Highlights- All-in-one device: Integrated DMR radio and Android smartphone functions for voice, data, video and applications without separate handsets.
- Automatic network switching: Auto-switch between DMR trunking and LTE networks; single ID registration and optimal network selection for reliable indoor/outdoor voice.
- Precise positioning: Multi-constellation GNSS (GPS/Galileo/GLONASS/QZSS/BDS) plus A-GPS; indoor LBS and WLAN positioning available.
- Type-C charging: Front USB Type-C port for fast charging; optional 4000 mAh battery for extended operations.
- High audio output: Enlarged front acoustic chamber up to 128 dB with AI noise, echo and wind reduction for clear audio in noisy conditions.
- Rugged design: IP68, ESD IEC Level 4 and 1.5 m drop resistance; industrial touchscreen for continuous field use.
- Smart management: Remote batch management for firmware, programming, permissions, key/app configuration, device health and backup/recovery.
- Security: Multi-layer security including TrustZone, full-disk encryption (FDE), air-interface and end-to-end encryption, authentication and hardware/software protections.
- Live streaming: Dual HD cameras for on-site photo/video capture and real-time streaming to radios or command center; external camera support.
