    The C_AT radio systems are specifically designed to support the rapid recon, containment and remediation of an incident by providing unimpeded communications among members of your emergency response team and support personnel. The personal safety of team members and the general public is enhanced by the clear and timely voice communication by these individuals.

    The C-AT very low power system provides virtually hands-free communications for respirator/SCBA users—dressed out in level "A" with flame resistant oversuit or "B" protective clothing—and their support personnel.

    The portable radios and headsets are certified intrinsically safe by Factory Mutual (Class 1, Division 1, Group A, B, C, D); RF power output is limited to 0.1 watt, minimizing the potential for interference with RF sensitive ordnance, computers, or process monitoring devices. The system is also listed in the AFMC table of Allowance (TA660); NSN 5820-01-417-2407 ZX, NSN 5820-01-417-2401 ZX.

    C-AT systems are currently used by teams around the country including Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC, Washington State, New Mexico, North Dakota, Connecticut, Colorado, Oklahoma, California, Nevada, Indiana, Georgia, Texas, and Florida. The teams of Montgomery Count Maryland, Fairfax County Virginia, the District of Columbia, the State of Maryland’s Department of the Environment, and Oklahoma City Oklahoma have been using C-AT systems for more than five years.

    C-AT systems are also fielded by the U.S. Army’s chemical munitions activities, U.S.A.F. Spec Ops in-flight and ground refueling activities, and U.S. Navy nuclear fuel/power generating activities.

    We hope that you will have an opportunity to contact us at 1-800-229-3925 discuss your application, to receive names of individuals with years of experience working with C-AT and our systems, or to schedule a field trial.

    The C-AT; HTC system fully addresses the voice communications requirements of Entry and Support personnel dressed out in level "A" and "B" protective over-garments (PCs) during Haz-Mat incidents. Entry team members are furnished with a wireless, hands-free, radio/microphone intercom system worn entirely inside the PC.

    The benefits of using the HTC communications system:

    • Safe radio operation available to entry personnel at the most critical incidents due to Intrinsically Safe Group A and B certification in Class1, Division 1 and no temperature code requirement*.
    • Hands-free voice communications without VOX inconsistency/sensitivity.
    • Outstanding speech clarity with SCBA.
    • High reliability in the 100% humidity of PCs.
    • Compatibility with all SCBA and respirators
    • Design protects barrier integrity of PC.
