Motorola, Inc. today launched the first-ever personal
digital assistant (PDA) to operate on TETRA (TErrestrial Trunked
RAdio) networks. The new, robust PDA delivers public safety users
pocket-sized access to essential two-way data applications whilst on
the move. The PDA offers the same value of Motorola's TETRA
hand-portable radios: Always On, Trusted, Reliable and Secure.
The PDA has been developed to meet the rugged requirements of
public safety organisations that need secure access to real-time
information on the move. Users can access person and vehicle records,
report crimes and accidents, and issue penalty tickets via the PDA's
application suite. This functionality meets public safety users'
targets to spend more time on visible, active patrol and increase
daily productivity.
Options available include Bluetooth, WLAN, GPS and camera,
allowing pictures to be circulated quickly from the PDA. The
pocket-sized device measures 145mm (L) x 83mm (W) x 35-50mm (H) and
weighs less than 500 grams. With its large 3.5" TFT screen, it
provides the ideal form factor for users to work with the
information.
The device will be commercially available by Q3 2006.
