Hytera BD552i
Visual Control. Advanced Calling. Rugged Performance.
Hytera BD552i Commercial DMR Two-Way Radio
The Hytera BD552i takes everyday business communications to the next level by introducing a clear, single-line display and a limited keypad to a highly rugged chassis. Designed for supervisors, managers, and security professionals who need more than just voice transmission, this digital radio allows users to see exactly who is calling, navigate massive channel lists, and utilize selective private calling. It delivers the perfect balance of advanced visual control and heavy-duty reliability for dynamic work environments.
EXPAND YOUR NETWORK WITH 256 CHANNELS OF DIGITAL CLARITY.
Anti-Magnetic Speaker
256-Channel Capacity
High-Contrast Single-Line Display
Partial Navigation Keypad
Visual Caller ID & Channel Aliases
Eliminate the guesswork from your daily communications. The built-in display allows you to assign specific names to different channels (e.g., "Maintenance" or "Security") rather than trying to memorize numbers. Furthermore, when an incoming digital call is received, the screen displays the assigned name or ID of the person transmitting, letting you know exactly who is trying to reach you before you even respond.
Selective and Private Calling
While standard radios broadcast to the entire team, the BD552i allows for precision communication. Utilizing the keypad and digital contact list, users can initiate one-on-one private calls with specific individuals without interrupting the broader talk group. This is essential for discreet management conversations or addressing localized issues without causing fleet-wide radio fatigue.
Pre-Programmed Text Messaging
Voice isn't always the most efficient way to communicate, especially in highly noisy environments or during quiet operations. The BD552i supports digital text messaging, allowing users to send and receive pre-defined, quick-reply text messages (like "En Route," "Task Completed," or "Call Me") directly from the radio interface with just a few button presses.
Robust Fleet Management
Equipped to handle growing organizations, this device supports a massive 256-channel capacity. When combined with Hytera's Pseudo Trunking technology—which dynamically assigns free time slots for communications—and its ability to seamlessly integrate with wide-area repeater networks, the BD552i serves as a powerful central hub for complex, multi-site workforces.

Advanced Contact List Creation
A radio with a screen is only as good as the data programmed into it. We take the hassle out of manual data entry by building your digital contact lists for you.
We assign custom caller IDs, specific radio aliases, and departmental group tags to every device in your fleet, ensuring the screen displays accurate, readable names right out of the box.
Multi-Site Zone Configuration
Managing up to 256 channels can be overwhelming for end-users. We meticulously architect your channel layouts using "Zones" to keep things organized.
Whether separating channels by building floors, distinct campus locations, or specific job roles, we structure the radio’s interface so your staff can navigate their communication options intuitively.
Text Message Library Setup
To maximize the efficiency of the BD552i’s digital capabilities, we help you develop a customized library of pre-programmed text messages.
Based on your specific industry workflows, we hard-code frequent responses and status updates into the radios, allowing your team to communicate silently and swiftly with a single button press.
User Training & Protocol Design
Introducing private calling and text messaging to a workforce accustomed to basic push-to-talk requires a shift in communication protocols.
Our experts provide guidance and training materials to help your supervisors understand when to use fleet-wide broadcasts versus private selective calls, ensuring your new technology improves efficiency rather than creating confusion.
