Protego Systems, a specialist provider of professional-grade communication hardware, today announced the launch of the PTG-500 USB Desk Phone. This next-generation device redefines the desk phone for the modern era, combining the familiar, ergonomic experience of a traditional handset with the plug-and-play simplicity of modern USB-C connectivity.

Designed and manufactured to defense-level standards, the PTG-500 was built for users who demand privacy, reliability, and exceptional build quality. The premise is straightforward: plug the phone into any USB-C port, open a softphone client, and start talking. There is no configuration tutorial, no complex setup—just instant, high-fidelity communication.

*"People miss having an actual phone on their desk," said the CEO of Protego Systems. "The PTG-500 is the answer to that. You don't have to choose between modern communications and a familiar, professional experience. We've engineered a device that provides the security and durability of defense-grade equipment with the convenience of modern software integration."*

Key Features & Capabilities

  • USB-C Plug-and-Play Connectivity
    The PTG-500 connects instantly to any USB-C port, transforming a standard laptop into a high-fidelity communications station with zero configuration overhead.

  • Broad Softphone Compatibility
    Certified for operation with Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex, Zoom, and Google Meet, the PTG-500 enables organizations to standardize hardware across all communications platforms.

  • Defense-Grade PTT Handset
    The PTG-500 features a Push-To-Talk (PTT) handset with certified positive disconnect. This ensures audio is live only when the user intends it to be, eliminating accidental transmissions and background noise pickup for absolute privacy.

  • Speakerphone Disable Capability
    A hardware-level speakerphone disable feature ensures that every conversation remains private and confined to the handset, a critical function for secure environments.

  • Flexible Back-Panel Interface
    The rear interface panel provides multiple connectivity options, allowing users to connect additional peripherals—including headsets and speakerphones—enabling a fully customizable communications workflow.

  • TAA Compliance & Secure Supply Chain
    The PTG-500 is manufactured in compliance with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA), ensuring that federal agencies and government contractors can procure the device with full confidence in its adherence to federal trade and security requirements.

Target Markets & Use Cases

The PTG-500 was engineered for professionals who take their work seriously. This includes:

  • Federal Analysts who require certified audio security in classified spaces.

  • Call Center Managers seeking a consistent, reliable setup for every agent without complicated deployment.

  • Executives who prefer the ergonomic and private experience of a traditional handset while using modern platforms like Zoom.

  • Remote Workers who want a single, durable piece of equipment that integrates seamlessly into a home office.

In each case, the PTG-500 delivers a product designed with a specific user in mind, prioritizing function and experience over a generic spec sheet.
