Next-Gen Connectivity: The CARRBORG S959 Pro Dual-Mode Walkie Talkie for Industrial and Public Safety
The CARRBORG S959 Pro Dual-Mode Radio bridges legacy analog UHF systems with modern 4G-LTE PoC networks, delivering encrypted, global communication with no monthly fees. As the PoC market soars—projected to grow from USD 5.22 billion in 2025 to USD 9.25 billion by 2033 at 7.4% CAGR—and the broader push-to-talk industry set to exceed USD 98.55 billion by 2034, the S959 Pro’s advanced repeater function, 1-year free data plan, and enterprise management console position it as a top choice for logistics, public safety, and industrial users.
Market Outlook & Industry Trends
Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) is experiencing robust growth. The global PoC market was valued at USD 4.86 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 5.22 billion by 2025, then climb to USD 9.25 billion by 2033 (CAGR 7.4%). Broader push-to-talk solutions (including LMR-to-PoC) are projected to surge from USD 37.43 billion in 2025 to USD 98.55 billion by 2034 (CAGR 11.33%).
-
Public Safety & Enterprise Demand: Emergency services and logistics sectors are prime adopters, seeking encrypted, wide-area coverage amid rising cybersecurity concerns.
-
Infrastructure Evolution: As satellite-cell backup trials (e.g., T-Mobile/Starlink tests) promise to fill “not-spots,” hybrid radios like the S959 Pro ensure connectivity by switching between UHF and multi-carrier LTE.
Key Features
Dual-Mode UHF + 4G-LTE Repeater
Combines traditional analog UHF (400–480 MHz) with global PoC via AT&T’s 4G-LTE network, enabling two distant analog radio groups to communicate in real time—no dedicated repeater towers needed.
1-Year Free Data & No Monthly Fees
Pre-installed AT&T Nano SIM provides unlimited data for 12 months; renewal thereafter is a flat $15/year—a cost-effective model as PoC providers shift from per-minute billing to flat-rate services.
Secure, Encrypted Voice
AES 128-bit end-to-end encryption ensures only group members can decode transmissions, addressing rising demands for private channels in public safety and enterprise environments.
Enterprise Backend Management
Web-based console allows admins to create talk groups, assign/remove users, and adjust privileges remotely—streamlining large-scale deployments in industries like manufacturing and transportation.
Desktop Fast Charger & Rugged Design
Includes a desktop charging dock for rapid turnaround between shifts; 9.7 oz plastic housing meets durability requirements while remaining lightweight for field use.
