Enhanced with an expanded loudspeaker, reinforced PTT button, and a field-replaceable high-capacity battery, it takes reliable, global communications to the next level. The Iridium Extreme® PTT device can be easily carried in the field, used with existing headsets, or mounted in vehicles or buildings.

Unlike previous systems that are limited to use in vehicles or handheld applications, the Iridium Extreme® PTT is truly flexible to support every communication environment. Versatile accessories, including shoulder-mounted carrying cases, docking stations, and external antennas (sold separately), ensure critical communications can be maintained in any situation – on foot, in-vehicle, or in-building.

When you choose PTT you’ll get more than just industry-leading products, you’ll have a nimble and expert partner with more than 30 years of telecom experience that is fully committed to your organization’s success.

Note: Iridium PTT devices require a monthly PTT service plan to transmit over the Iridium satellite network. PTT service plans feature a flat monthly rate that enables unlimited push-to-talk between users in the same talkgroup. Inquire for details and PTT service pricing.
