Port Operations: 24/7 Non-Stop Work.
With hundreds of operational units—including quay cranes, yard cranes, container trucks, and dispatch centers—running simultaneously, communication serves as the port's "central nervous system." However, dedicated port network signals often suffer from coverage blind spots: container yards face severe metal shielding, dock frontages experience signal attenuation, and office buildings have weak indoor signals. Traditional two-way radios frequently fail in these areas, resulting in "dead air."
Recently, a port operations manager reached out to us, looking for a device that could solve port communication coverage pain points while enabling visual dispatch capabilities. We recommended the Hytera PDC650 Multimode Smart PoC Radio—which just won the "Best Converged Terminal Device" award at the 2026 ICCAs International Critical Communications Awards, a testament to its professional-grade quality certified by international authorities.
Public-Private Convergence: Seamless Port Communication
The PDC650 supports automatic switching between PDT trunking and 4G public networks—when it enters a signal blind spot at the port, it seamlessly transitions to the public network, ensuring uninterrupted communication. Together with Hytera's digital trunking systems deployed at major ports such as Guangzhou Port, Yantai Port, and Rizhao Port, it delivers true full-area coverage across the entire port zone.
HD Video Uplink: "Seeing Is Believing" at the Command Center
When exceptions occur during quay crane loading/unloading or when yard container trucks are congested, voice descriptions alone make it difficult for the command center to assess on-site situations. The PDC650 supports HD video uplink functionality, enabling the dispatch end to actively pull real-time footage from the front line. This breaks the limitations of pure voice communication, enabling "see-and-dispatch" operations and significantly improving emergency response and inspection efficiency.
Built for the Harsh Port Environment
Ports are plagued by high humidity and salt spray corrosion—any device with insufficient protection rating is essentially scrap metal. The PDC650 features IP68 dust and water resistance, capable of withstanding prolonged immersion at depths of up to 2 meters and surviving multi-angle 1.5-meter drops. Its proprietary speaker drainage structure ensures clear calls even in heavy rain.
Remote Management + Full-Coverage Positioning
The PDC650 supports remote batch programming and over-the-air upgrades, allowing configuration updates to be pushed from the backend without needing to recall devices—boosting efficiency by 45 times. Equipped with dual-band BeiDou positioning + WLAN-assisted positioning, it delivers seamless indoor and outdoor coverage, significantly improving the location mapping rate of personnel at the rear command center. Type-C fast charging provides 30 minutes of talk time from just 1 minute of charging, and a full 30-minute charge delivers up to 8 hours of battery life, enabling convenient on-site recharging at frontline operations.
Hytera has delivered complete solutions across the transportation sector, including ports, airports, and railways—and the PDC650 stands as one of the core terminals in this ecosystem.
