Hytera PD982i Professional DMR Portable
The Hytera PD982i is a flagship DMR handheld built for demanding users who need single frequency repeater capability, exceptional audio, strong security, and rugged performance in one radio.
PD982i can be deployed as a high-tier portable in advanced DMR systems or used in single frequency repeater mode to extend coverage where a permanent repeater is not practical.
Flagship DMR portable with built‑in single frequency repeater
PD982i combines interference-cancellation single frequency repeater technology, advanced digital audio, and strong security into a rugged IP68 handheld that can anchor demanding DMR deployments.
Single frequency repeater mode
Uses one DMR time slot to receive and the other to transmit on the same frequency, extending coverage without a separate repeater channel or dedicated repeater hardware.
DMR Tier II & III capable
Fits into both conventional and trunked DMR systems, giving agencies and enterprises flexibility as they grow and modernize their networks.
Exceptional audio and noise reduction
Advanced noise cancellation and enhanced voice processing keep communications clear in loud environments such as industrial plants, utilities, and public safety scenes.
Rugged IP68 construction
Fully dust-tight and water-resistant with IP68 and MIL-STD-810 ratings, built to withstand harsh weather, drops, and rough field use.
Security and recording options
Supports advanced encryption, emergency modes, and models with integrated recording for capturing critical calls and incident traffic.
Integrated GPS and Bluetooth
Selected models include GPS for location services and Bluetooth 4.0 for wireless audio accessories and data connectivity.
Where a high-tier portable and tactical repeater make sense
Mobile or temporary coverage
Use PD982i in single frequency repeater mode to extend coverage at job sites, special events, and temporary operations where fixed repeaters are not practical.
Filling in dead spots
Deploy PD982i as a tactical fill-in repeater in buildings, remote areas, and coverage holes at the edge of your main DMR system footprint.
Public safety and utilities
Support incident command, storm restoration, and field crews that need rugged radios with strong audio and flexible coverage options.
Enterprise and industrial DMR
Serve as a high-tier portable in plants, campuses, and critical operations where advanced calling, encryption, and durability are required.
Legacy PD982i fleets
Provide compatible additions and replacements for organizations that already rely on PD982i and are planning eventual migration to newer platforms.
