PTT and Blackline Monitoring Calls
Customers have reported that occasionally G7c/G7x PTT calls have taken priority over incoming calls from live monitoring services. Firmware version 3.467 improves PTT so that calls from live monitoring services take precedence over PTT calls on the G7 user interface.
FOTA Speed
Customers have reported that FOTA updates take a long time. We have improved the process and implemented solutions to improve the speed so that OTA firmware updates should complete faster than they did previously.
4G for AUS/NZ and ROW
The February 2023 update introduces 4G device capabilities for Australia, New Zealand, and the rest of the world that has not previous had it. Contact Technical Support for more information.
New USB Car Charger for G7c/G7x
We are introducing a new USB car charger (ACC-G7-USB-CAR) for use with G7c/G7x. This new charger has the required safety and power certifications for use with G7 devices, while also meeting intrinsic safety requirements. If you have a previous model car charger (ACC-USB-CAR) you can use it to charge G7 Bridge.
