An Airbus phone? A smartphone from the same guys who make passenger aircraft? Right. Most mission-critical organizations rely heavily on broadband networks alongside their narrowband networks. However, in order to take full advantage of the possibilities & for greater effectiveness, smart devices are needed as well. Which is the very reason behind the creation of Airbus Tactilion Dabat, positioned as the world’s 1st smartphone & full TETRA radio in 1 device. TETRA stands for terrestrial trunked radio, the types we often see in the hands of airport employees.
This professional device makes hybrid communication possible as it combines the speed & security encryption of a TETRA network together with the data capabilities & functionalities of an LTE 4G mobile service. Tactilion Dabat is expected to help organizations, especially mission-based units to save time, resources, money & be more effective at saving lives as well. By combining TETRA & LTE on a single device, it opens up new & innovative means of communicating using a dual mode device (DMD) which enables work to be carried out more efficiently.
The Airbus phone or Tactilion Dabat by Airbus can be used as a TETRA radio for critical communication but does more than just radio between teams. It can also function as a smartphone which enables the use of mobile application as well as specially designed public safety apps. This smart, secure & strong device has Android features & is also specially designed for radio use as well, making it an all in 1 technological tool that is more than a TETRA radio & quite advanced than a smartphone.
With a sleek yet rugged look, this revolutionary device offers special multipurpose push to talk buttons (PTT) which are familiar fixtures on regular TETRA radios. It also has a wide touch screen which makes it ideal for sending messages alongside the traditional PTT button. The device is powered by 4600mAh rechargeable battery rated IP65 & IP67.
Another essential part of this Airbus phone is the apps ecosystem as the device aims to encourage local mission-critical agencies to use apps more in order to further increase the effectiveness of their operation. The gadget also has smartphone features which allow you to access & share real-time locations of each member of a team on a map on the screen & also take snapshot from the scene to share with command center among other essential features.
This is 1 device that is indeed better than 2. It is being sold by various Airbus retailers & accredited partners all over the world.
