Relay has launched the RelayX – an ultra-rugged walkie-talkie replacement with simultaneous quad-sim 4G/5G, Wi-Fi, and Private LTE network coverage and live voice translation for industrial and business use. The multi-network coverage helps eliminate dropouts when working in challenging radio environments.

Communication devices for factory and industrial staff, like walkie-talkies, two-way radios, and smartphones, transmit over limited frequency ranges. Electromagnetic noise created by machinery, power generators, and other industrial equipment along with physical barriers like thick steel walls can block transmissions.

The RelayX utilizes four cellular SIMs to access all US cellular networks for nationwide coverage on 4G and 5G cellular bands. Simultaneously, the device can communicate over local, private LTE and Wi-Fi networks installed by companies on their properties. All connected networks are bonded together for superior coverage. A 2,900 mAh lithium battery provides power across two work shifts.

Powerful 110 dB speakers with digital noise cancelling microphones enable one-on-one and group conversations in extremely noisy environments. TeamTranslate enables AI-powered translations of conversations in over 30 languages in real-time.

The device is MIL-STD 810H-rated against shock, vibration, and temperature extremes and is IP68-rated against dust intrusion and water submersion. The 1.9-inch OLED display protected by Gorilla Glass can display outdoor GPS and indoor location data as well as safety alerts.

Readers who want an affordable two-way radio for staying in touch while skiing the backcountry or hiking in the woods can buy this one on Amazon.
