Hytera radios successfully tested in UK charity ride
Hytera partners Zycomm and Delcom supported the Dallaglio Flintoff Cycle Slam charity ride with Hytera rugged radios.
England rugby player Lawrence Dallaglio and his cricketing counterpart Andrew Flintoff lead a team of over 250 riders in the event, a 2872 km charity ride across Europe from the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games, Olympia, to the 2012 Olympic Stadium in London.
The PD70X DMR portable radios were used by the riders to enable them to keep in constant contact with the support staff on both the cycle and water sections of the event.
Clear communication together with robust and environmentally protected equipment was required as the radios were subject to rain and being used on canoes on Lake Garda.
The radios’ durability was put to the test when one of the PD70Xs on hire was completely submersed in Lake Garda, Italy, for a long period of time. After the canoe was recovered the radio was found to be in full working order, suffering no ill effects.
