The PD982offers an exceptional audio experience through noise cancellation technology, while boasting new features including full duplex calls, recording capability via Micro SD, Bluetooth 4.0 for audio or data and single frequency repeater mode to increase coverage.

The addition of the PD982 positions Hytera with the most complete DMR radio portfolio to meet diversified requirements, from simple, reliable and cost-effective handsets (PD3 and PD4 series) to rugged and feature-rich solutions (PD5 and PD6 series), up to the high-end, professional systems radios (PD7, PD9 and X1 series). The whole portfolio offers display and non-display, GPS and non-GPS, UHF and VHF versions to allow customers to select the best handset for their daily operation and mission critical scenarios

No matter what your business is—oil and gas, manufacturing, transportation or public safety, communication is key. However, in these industries, there’s very little time to talk face-to-face. In fact, much of the time you might find yourself and your coworkers separated by stretches of road, oil field or factory floor, and a lot can depend on clean communication across those stretches. Take the truck driver who’s set out on the road, only to realize he forgot something important back at headquarters. He tries to radio back, but it crackles and cuts out. No one can hear him on the other end. He has no choice but to stop, turn around and head back—a headache for him, and a setback to the company’s productivity.

Since 1993, Hytera has been solving problems like these, designing the highest quality handheld radios on the market. And in 2016, we’ve outdone ourselves yet again. Hytera Senior Vice President G.S. Kok recently announced the launch of the brand new PD982 radio, stating that “A series of cutting-edge innovations and designs have been added to this new model to make it a full-featured radio to satisfy customers’ increasing demand for functionality and user experience.” As a company that’s all about communication, we value listening to our customers. And we hope the PD982, with all of its exciting options, meets your demands for a vastly improved customer experience.

The PD982 builds upon the best features of the older models, with the goal of solving previous customer problems. Because many of our clients work outdoors in a wide range of weather conditions, the PD982 is built with IP68 protection standards, making it dust proof and waterproof. It also features a smart battery, improved noise cancellation technology with a 2.5W audio output, audio recording via a 32GB Micro SD card, and a built-in Bluetooth 4.0. Other impressive new features include Full Duplex Call, which enables calls between PD982 radios and mobile phones, and Single Frequency Repeater Mode, which uses one slot to receive a signal and another to transmit it in the same frequency, reducing interference and extending distances. Ever find yourself on the ground at a job site, needing to speak with an employee on the twenty-fifth floor? Well, the PD982 has got you covered, and it’s so crystal-clear it’ll feel like you’re standing next to each other.

But the most exciting benefit of the PD982 is its versatility: customers can choose between display/non-display, GPS/non-GPS and UHF/VHF—whatever works best for your day-to-day operational needs. In our twenty-three years as a leader in wireless communications, our goal has been to offer solutions customized to your needs, because no industry and no company is alike. We’re especially proud to introduce the PD982, which offers an unprecedented selection of features for a truly extraordinary audio experience.
