Notes
Rugged Android smartphone with a full TETRA radio (380–430 MHz, power class 3L, TMO and DMO), with separate SIM slots for TETRA and 3GPP. The hybrid flag stays unset because it covers analog/DMR, not TETRA. Specs come from Airbus's May 2018 technical specification, which survives only on a reseller's site (tcconnect.se). Its band layout is partly garbled, so the LTE list may be incomplete. It lists 2G B3 (1800 MHz) and 3G B1/B8. Tactilon Agnet broadband PTT was an option. Display is 720 x 1280 and usable with gloves, but no size is given. Battery is a replaceable 4600 mAh Li-Po. Status is inferred. Airbus's current TETRA device portfolio no longer lists the Tactilon Dabat, and its old product URL now redirects there. Only the legacy dabat.com page remains, and a newer Tactilon Dabat SC (TD-2) also exists.
