Airbus’ Tactilon Agnet solution on Samsung Knox enabled smartphones ensures faster and easier deployment, use and security of MCX services.
“The Tactilon Agnet service on the new XCover6 Pro will be able to serve the users with new features without compromising on efficiency and security, which are increasingly important aspects of critical communications.”
Samsung claimed its XCover6 Pro has features that makes it functional for field use such as weather protection, programmable hardware keys, high capacity battery with fast charging, and loud mono speaker for clear voice communication as well as a chipset with support for LTE and 5G.
