Local Hytera Dealer in Miami Provides Reliable Communications to School Campus

PD56X Portable Radio
Challenge
After receiving a recommendation from a client of Reliable Two-Way, the local Hytera dealer, administrators at Palmer Trinity School decided to switch to Hytera PD56X DMR portable radios. The radios provide with enhanced performance and are equipped with features suited to both emergency situations, as well as day-to-operations.
The Hytera system includes patented pseudotrunking technology which maximizes the channel usage and allows multiple groups to talk at the same time. The high capacity Li-Ion battery provides extended battery life which could last a full work day.
Solutions
One-Touch Text or Call
Supports One Touch features that include Preprogrammed Text Messages, Voice Calls and Supplementary Features.
Digital Encryption
To secure communications throughout the Hytera DMR system, the customer has a choice to use the standard Hytera encryption of up to 256 bits, DMR Association's algorithm ARC4 (40 bit).
Excellent Voice Transmission
Outstanding audio quality in loud environments and in boundary regions of the radio coverage, thus extending the range for clear communications.

Benefits
The PD56X radios are being used by all crisis management, administration, and security personnel within the school, creating a safer, more secure environment for both students and staff at Palmer Trinity, as well as visitors. The school's initial purchase of 34 radios will be supplemented with 10 additional units within the year.
School administrators have implemented daily mandatory communication and utilization protocols, with all technology and facilities personnel using the radios as part of the daily operations. The PD56X are used for simulation purposes and real-life scenarios (i.e. fire drills and lockdowns). All visitors to the school are reported via radios, and school nurses are required to have a radio with them at all times.
