Motorola launches the lightest TETRA handset ever

Motorola’s attractively styled MTH500 was developed after extensive research amongst two-way radio customers in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region. Motorola’s research looked closely at their requirements for two-way communications and revealed two distinct segments, each with very different requirements of a two-way radio. In addition to the familiar user base of front line officers who require rugged, traditional style radios, the research found that undercover and second-line officers want all the benefits of a two-way radio packaged in a small, discreet and light device.

Weighing 193g, the MTH500 is the lightest TETRA handset on the market, yet it has been subjected to Motorola’s renowned stringent quality tests offering extreme robustness and proving it is built to perform in harsh environments.

Designed to emulate the sleek styling of a cellular phone, it’s look is deceiving. It has a ‘seven in one’ functionality – including instantaneous group calls and one-to-one calls; phone calls; two-way text messaging. The MTH500 is also designed for easy connectivity to third party devices, which expand its capabilities even further. All this in a secure, encrypted handset that can also act as a speakerphone.
