-A multi-purpose accessory features voice, data and photo
-The new accessory opens up new application areas for TETRA

26 May 2008 – Stop Noise, a company specialised in professional audio accessories for TETRA, and EADS Defence & Security announced the introduction of a new powerful accessory for the THR880i TETRA radio.

The camera-speaker-microphone has been specifically developed for the EADS THR880i by Stop Noise, which is a long-term accessory partner of EADS Secure Networks, an integrated activity of EADS Defence & Security (DS).

This speaker-microphone features an integrated camera which can be used for photography but it is primarily intended for reading barcodes e.g. from a driving license. The barcode can then be sent over the TETRA network to a database for checking and the feedback comes swiftly as a flash message to the THR880i display. The product features a USB connector for storing the pictures to a memory stick or connecting directly to a laptop. In addition, the unit works as a normal speaker microphone and has its own keypad for sending status messages or e.g. initiating position sending or emergency call.

Demonstration samples are available both at EADS and Stop Noise booths at the TETRA World Congress in Hong Kong.
