Motorola launches new portable TETRA terminalMay 29, 2009 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Motorola has launched a new portable TETRA terminal, the MTP850S, designed for mission critical communication. Based on Motorola's MTP850 model, the MTP850S has been designed with the end user in mind, with an intuitive mobile phone style interface as well as new safety features and improved coverage. The key safety features that the MTP850S incorporates are: A 'Man Down' feature that sends an alert to the console operator if the radio does not move in a given period of time or tilts past a defined angle; an emergency button that not only alerts colleagues to critical situations but sends and updates the officer's location; a standardized 12-pin side connector to ensure audio accessories remain connected at all times, even during violent altercations. The MTP850S also includes a number of features to improve productivity: ETSI Class 3L (1.8W) transmit power and increased receiver sensitivity for improved coverage in TMO and DMO operations; instant access to information databases through an integrated WAP browser; Status Messaging allowing officers to monitor the progress of job assignments and to call for help when needed. Jens Kristiansen, vice president and general manager for Tetra global products and solutions at Motorola, said: "Motorola has a history of developing technology that is second nature in the hands of emergency service workers. This extension to the MTP850 range builds on Motorola's reputation for delivering intuitive communication devices that place officer safety at the forefront of design." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
