Replacing HP | Poly Systems in Air Traffic Management – Proven Solutions by Imtradex
AirTalk® 5000 & PTT-13 at a Glance
End-of-Life HP | Poly Products – Ensure Operational Continuity
HP (formerly Poly/Plantronics) has announced the discontinuation of essential communication products such as the CA22 DECT system, SHS PTT adapters, and the HW series – all of which have long been standard in air traffic control, air traffic services, and air traffic safety.
For operators in air traffic management and flight control centers, this creates an urgent need for action.
With the AirTalk® 5000 series and the PTT-13, Imtradex offers a reliable and future-ready alternative – specifically developed for use in Air Traffic Control (ATC) and other mission-critical communication environments.
