Overview
The Protos BT-COM keeps teams instantly connected in forestry, arboriculture, construction, and industrial environments, without getting in the way. Fully integrated into the helmet's ear protection, it eliminates cables, external units, and snag hazards, for a clean, balanced setup that feels as good at the end of the day as it does at the start.
With true full-duplex communication, conversations happen naturally, no buttons, no delays, just real-time talk between crew members. Coverage runs up to 150 metres between two users and up to 600 metres across a team of four, with the ability to extend further when paired with radios or mobile devices.
