Hytera PDC690 dual-mode radio

Hytera’s PDC690 is a rugged dual-mode radio engineered for the demands of frontline professionals. Combining smartphone versatility with a two-way radio, the product unifies mission-critical voice and data in one device and keeps teams connected, informed and mission-ready in the field.

The device works with narrowband trunking, WLAN, and public and private LTE networks, intelligently selecting the optimal network based on signal strength and operational context. Working with Hytera’s fast-deployment solutions, including on-scene ad-hoc networks and direct-mode operation, it preserves real-time voice and multimedia links even under degraded conditions. It also interworks with third-party systems, enabling mixed-system operations and safeguarding institutions’ existing investments.

Built for modern emergency workflows, the product combines mission-critical voice with on-device photo and video capture for immediate situational reporting and evidence collection. Outdoor positioning uses multi-constellation GNSS (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, QZSS, BDS and A-GPS), while indoor location is supported via LBS and WLAN, providing fast and precise location data to improve coordination and safety.

Purpose-built for harsh conditions, the device meets MIL-STD-810G standards for drop and shock resistance and carries an IP68 rating for dust and water protection. Lightweight and ergonomic, it features a responsive touchscreen, USB Type-C fast charging, and power-bank compatibility for extended missions. Audio performance is optimised for noisy environments through AI-based noise cancellation, wind suppression, and a 30 cm near-field anti-howling feature that eliminates feedback when personnel speak in close proximity.

Running on a full Android operating system, the product supports both Hytera and third-party applications, enabling native dispatch, GIS, incident management and other customised workflows. A comprehensive accessory ecosystem, including wireless PTT, remote speaker microphones and other peripherals, enables flexible integration. Hytera’s MDM Pro streamlines fleet administration with remote programming, OTA firmware updates, permission management, device health monitoring and fault alerts, reducing operating costs and maximising uptime.
