Airbus Defence and Space THR9 Ex TETRA hand-portable radio

Airbus Defence and Space has updated its THR9 Ex TETRA hand-portable radio, suitable for use in harsh and explosive environments.

The product is designed for users who require a rugged radio for demanding operations where intrinsically safe products are mandatory. The acoustic design has been re-engineered to give a higher volume level and better audibility for voice calls. A 2000 mAh high-capacity battery also allows more than 15 h of use.

The hand-portable radio offers a large colour screen and a full alphanumeric keypad which features an embedded global navigation satellite system receiver for autonomous geospatial positioning. The ‘Where are you’ feature also shows on the radio display the location of other team members during a group call and the ‘Lifeguard’ feature and mandatory emergency alert ensure user safety.

The Java platform allows other applications to be customised in order to meet dedicated needs for specific missions.
