Motorola has launched what it believes to be the first-ever personal digital assistant (PDA) to operate on TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) networks.

The PDA delivers public-safety users pocket-sized access to two-way data applications while on the move. In addition, it has been developed to meet the rugged requirements of public safety organisations that need secure access to real-time information on the move. Users can access person and vehicle records, report crimes and accidents and issue penalty tickets via the PDA's application suite. This functionality meets public safety users' targets to spend more time on visible, active patrol and increase daily productivity.  

Options available include Bluetooth, WLAN, GPS and camera, allowing pictures to be circulated quickly from the PDA. The pocket-sized device measures 145mm (L) x 83mm (W) x 35-50mm (H) and weighs less than 500 grams.  

Using the TETRA network to deliver data to the PDA gives emergency services access to a controllable data pipeline that remains continuously available, even during a major incident.  

With the same levels of security as Motorola's TETRA radios, the PDA supports authentication and encryption. Motorola plans to make the device commercially available by Q3 2006.
