MATBOCK PTT Clamp

Monday, November 26th, 2012

Generally, members of SOF units are only issued one or two Push-to-Talks (PTTs) that have to be interchanged between three or four different sets of kit. On top of this you also have to deal with different camo patterns. And then, there’s the actual mounting based on operational preferences and unit SOP. Some guys like to wear their PTTs on the right or left side, some times with the buttons facing out and some times with the buttons facing in. Standard PTT clips don’t allow for all these variations nor do they make it easy to interchange the PTTs between different carriers so most guys end up with zip ties or rubber bands to get what you need out of their PTT.

MATBOCK’s patent pending “PTT Clamp” addresses these problems that confront one of the most important parts of combat, communication. The PTT Clamp was designed so that users can mount a clamp to every carrier, either by Velcro or MOLLE. The PTT Clamps are prepositioned on each carrier to eliminate tinkering with gear, allowing the Operator to simply and securely fit the Push-To-Talks into the Clamp on each set of gear and route the wires.

The Nexus PTT is very popular throughout a lot of SOF units, but these PTTs are prone to being inadvertently depressed. Consequently, MATBOCK designed the PTT Clamp – Nexus model with an “anti-hot mic” cage that will significantly reduce the chance for button being depressed.

Made in the USA, Hydrographic Kydex is available in Desert Digital, Woodland Digital and MultiCam.

TEA Headsets Expands Tactical U94 Push-to-Talk Product Line

Saturday, November 3rd, 2012

For more than 40 years TEA has been well known for providing the headsets and communication accessories to our nation’s warriors. In addition to providing headsets TEA also offers a wide variety of tactical and discrete push-to-talk switches that enables users to easily key up and communicate in applications ranging from high altitude jumps to submerged maritime operations.

The ruggedized single radio U94 Push-to-Talk has quickly become a favorite among military and law enforcement personnel because of its adaptability to work with practically any radio or headset. Following its popularity, TEA saw an additional need to expand the U94’s capabilities which now includes single and dual radio LAND versions, special radio+ICS (AIR) versions as well as single and dual radio (H2O) versions.

Tactical U94 Push-to-Talk with H2O Boot

TEA offers a special H2O boot that seals around Peltor Headset connectors making it perfect for RQS Units, Fast Boat Teams and when fording the occasional stream or river. This added feature is available on any U94 PTT. I checked this out at AUSA and It’s pretty slick. Click here for more info.

Tactical U94 Push-to-Talk

Single radio versions of the U94 PTT, includes an option WPC collar that helps prevent hot mic/accidental radio keys. You can also get this version with an optional auxiliary input for secondary remote/sniper or HALO switches. Click here for more info.

Dual U94 Push-to-Talk

Dual-Com versions of the U94 PTT can be configured to control multiple 2-way radios, a single Dual-Net radio like the new PRC 154 or a single 2-way radio with an ICS connector (vehicle, aircraft or watercraft intercom system). Click here for more info.

Submersible U94 Push-to-Talks

Single and Dual Radio submersible versions are also available for the maritime versions of the PRC 148 (10-pin) and PRC 152 (6-pin) as well as other common submersible radios. The single radio version includes an oversized transmit button that makes it easy to use with bulky gloves on. Click here for more info.

Additional options or configurations of the U94 are available through TEA. TEA Push-to-Talk switches can be configured to work with any of their headsets, and practically any radio, ICS or communication device.

Cummings Launches First Commercial Product at HALO Counter-Terrorism Summit

Monday, October 29th, 2012

Cummings Engineering, in partnership with Ascent Rugged Mobile, is launching SAIFE Defender, what they are touting as the world’s first commercial rugged Android device with secure digital communications at this week’s HALO Counter-Terrorism Summit in San Diego California.

SAIFE Defender, a rugged mobile Android device with interoperable secure communications capabilities, is unique and cost-effective because it is platform neutral; field officers can communicate securely with each other even if they are using different devices, such as a Blackberry, iPhone or Droid. Additionally, agencies don’t have to invest in unique radio infrastructure but instead can securely leverage existing commercial carrier networks such as Verizon, AT&T, and others.

“We want to be the Swiss Army Knife of secure mobile applications for the military and law enforcement communities,” said Darren Cummings, CEO, Cummings Engineering. “Our product is truly BYOD, Bring Your Own Device, giving users the ability to leverage commercially available hardware and software to operate on any commercial network, cellular or WiFi and remain secure and protected.”

Additionally, specialized applications are built on top of Cummings’ secure framework offering government users capabilities they didn’t previously have or couldn’t use due to the lack of security.

The underlying technology that encrypts, stores and transmits the data has been accredited by the National Institute of Standards & Technology (FIPS 140-2). This allows the U.S. government and other regulated industries such as medical services that collect, store, transfer, share and disseminate sensitive information to quickly and cost-effectively use the modules and security capabilities Cummings offers.
