First Respondents Will Benefit From Real-time Video of Incidents

Hytera technology also enables the sharing of live video feeds among multiple agencies responding to the same situation, enhancing situational awareness. This ensures that they are well-prepared for the incident before arriving on the scene, he explained during an interview.

Touching on how Hytera is leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) to build a more intelligent environment for public safety and business-critical applications, Mr Rigney specifically noted that the use of ANPR is a technology that is a use case which is underutilised, yet it offers numerous advantages for traffic law enforcement.

He said: “Using Dash cameras, there are instances when vehicle registrations are flagged—such as those of cloned or stolen vehicles—and an IoT-based location alert can be generated in the radio control room.

This provides dispatchers with complete visibility, allowing them to determine the best course of action to intercept the vehicle using Hytera’s visualised dispatch system to direct the nearest responders, this can be automatically shared with the closest responder or via radio dispatcher intervention”.

Unique features of Hytera’s communication solutions

Public Safety: In an urban environment facing a natural disaster, Hytera’s IP68-rated radios were deployed to ensure first responders maintained clear, uninterrupted communication despite heavy rain and flooding.

The AI noise cancellation feature helped emergency services effectively direct operations amidst chaotic conditions, according to him.

Construction Industry: A major construction project utilised Hytera radios equipped with MIL-STD-810 certification to ensure durability against rough handling and extreme weather. The clear communication facilitated by AI noise cancellation allowed teams to work efficiently, reducing downtime and operational hazards.

Forestry Management: In a rugged forest region, rangers used Hytera radios to coordinate firefighting efforts. The devices’ ability to function under harsh weather conditions (validated by the IP68 rating) and resist physical shocks ensured reliable communication in life-or-death situations.

Mining Operations: In an underground mining environment, Hytera’s solutions were critical. The ruggedness of the MIL-STD-810-certified devices and the clarity provided by AI noise cancellation allowed workers to communicate effectively, enhancing safety and operational efficiency in hazardous conditions.

With the evolving landscape of emergency communications, Mr Rigney maintained that Hytera addresses challenges related to network resilience and redundancy to maintain seamless operations in the most demanding scenarios.

“Hytera’s innovative Multimode radios enable seamless handovers between broadband and narrowband networks, guaranteeing reliable communication with a built-in fallback option”.

Our Integrated Command and Control (ICC) platform provides actionable insights through customisable reports and heat maps, highlighting recurring incidents by location, time, and type”.

He continued: “This enables proactive measures to mitigate these incidents. Additionally, our ICC features a Mega Event Module, designed to support city-wide events like cycle tours, marathons, or VIP escorts, ensuring seamless traffic management”.

Instructively, Hytera is a leading global provider of professional communications technologies and solutions. With voice, video and data capabilities, it provides faster, safer, and more versatile connectivity for business and mission-critical users.

The company also enables its customers to achieve more in both daily operations and emergency response to make the world more efficient and safer.
