Built to Meet Secure Supply Chain Requirements

Written By Mr Kirof

Protego Systems, a focused 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 meet secure supply chain requirements 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 use the ergonomic keypad and full color screen to easily connect and disconnect your call. There is no configuration tutorial, no complex setup—just instant, high-fidelity communication.

People miss having an actual phone on their desk and have made it clear that wearing a headset all day to make and take calls in secure spaces isn’t ideal. The PTG500 - with its ergonomic push-to-talk handpiece is the answer. 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.

  • PTT Headset for Added Security and Comfort
