Hytera BP515LF licence-free two-way radio

Hytera’s BP515LF is a DMR licence-free PMR446 two-way radio. It supports both digital and analog modes and is also compatible with other PMR446 analog and DMR Tier I radios, so it can operate in a mixed fleet of radio types.

The product will suit up to medium-sized enterprises looking for a licence-free radio solution, as it offers 256 channels enabling a larger number of talk groups to be supported. It supports voice notification following a change of channel or reprogramming of a button.

The radio has a powerful 3 W loudspeaker and features noise reduction technology to provide loud, clear audio in busy, noisy situations. It also features a high-sensitivity receiving module and high-efficiency monopole antenna to enhance signal penetration inside buildings and deliver good reception even in weak signal areas.

The battery offers a long service life as it will still provide 80% of the initial capacity after 500 charge–discharge cycles. The 10 W rapid-rate Type-C charger will achieve a full charge in just 1.8 h. After charging for just 60 min it can continue to work for 10 h, meaning it will last a normal day’s shift.

The product is designed to be light and thin to make it easy to carry and operate. Its large key design enables it to be used even when wearing gloves. The radio is robust as it is wear- and scratch-resistant and is IP54 certified for protection against dust and water ingress. It comes with standard accessories such as belt clips, straps, battery, power adapters and chargers, along with optional accessories including C-earsets and programming cables.

Robust, compact, lightweight and easy to operate, the plug-and-play device is designed to be used straight out of the box, making it suitable for people unfamiliar with two-way radios. Applications include retail, hospitality, schools, supermarkets, warehouses, hotels, gyms, etc.
