RA205 Field Telephone
Overview
The success of many military operations be they active,
peacekeeping or humanitarian, depends on co-ordination and
timing.
Reliable fixed line field communications delivers that
capability and remains a vital element in achieving
positive mission outcomes. The ability to clearly communicate
information, anytime, anywhere with accuracy and reliability is
often the difference between mission success and failure.
The RA205 field handset provides the functionality of a standard
telephone but in a more ruggedised, reliable package for use in
extreme conditions. This easy to use handset can be used with a
range of electronic PABX's and telephone exchanges.
Key Features
- Functional in hostile environments
- Rugged and waterproof
- Reliable and serviceable
- Slim-line, lightweight construction
Benefits
This handset is fully operational in extremes of temperature,
driving rain, salt spray and dust, enabling it to be used reliably
in the harshest of environments. The RA205 can be connected using
two small snap-on D10 terminals or an RJ11 connector giving the
subscriber the flexibility to make calls connected to either
a field cable or to an office telephone line.
The RA205's slim-line construction enables it to be used whilst
wearing a helmet and easily carried in the subscriber's pocket
making it portable and easy to use whatever the operational
situation.
Applications
The subscriber has visual ringing and hook status
indicators which are visible from both the front and the back of
the unit, useful when the audio ringing has to be muted, and ideal
for covert operations.
Combining
DTMF
signalling and
PTT
operation, this field
handset provides subscribers with the functionality of a standard
modern telephone in an easy to use package. This includes a 10
number store, that by pressing just one key, enables selected
numbers to be dialled.
The tough design, incorporating a polyurethane bumper surround,
offering added protection and a hook for hanging the telephone,
illustrates the degree to which this handset was developed with
real users in mind.
