Cassidian TH1n now in 800 MHz version

Cassidian has launched an 800 MHz version of its slimline TETRA radio, TH1n, which the company claims is the first in a new class of pocket-sized TETRA radios. This model will complement the 380-430 MHz model of the TH1n and enlarge Cassidian’s TETRA terminal portfolio in the 800 MHz radiofrequency band, used in Asia and America.

Since the TH1n is suitable for many different users, it has opened up the TETRA market to those in new sectors, such as social workers and health care personnel. In particular, it addresses users who have the option of joining shared public safety networks, but who so far haven’t found a model to suit their needs better than a heavy-duty radio targeted at firefighters. Equipped with appropriate accessories, TH1n is also suitable for covert use due to its thin, compact design.

The ability to access and share data in the field is becoming increasingly important, and the TH1n enables field operatives to perform data queries and send reports. They can take advantage of the Java platform, which enables many types of easy-to-use applications thanks to the possibility of tailor-made user interfaces.
