Product information & specifications
Protos Integral BT-Com 4 User System
The Protos Integral BT-Com 4 User System is a professional-grade Bluetooth communication unit designed for clear, uninterrupted intercom use between up to four operators. Ideal for tree surgeons, forestry teams, utility contractors and arborist crews across the UK, it provides hands-free communication with excellent noise reduction and seamless integration into the Protos Integral helmet system.
Available in 9 colourways, it's in stock at Gustharts as an authorised Protos dealer, with free UK delivery on this order.
The BT-Com capsule connects directly into the existing Protos ear-defender brackets with no wiring, drilling, adaptors or clamps required, maintaining the renowned comfort and safety profile of the Protos Integral helmet. With up to 300 metres range in clear conditions, up to 12 hours battery runtime, fast USB charging and simultaneous mobile phone Bluetooth connection, the Protos BT-Com 4 User System is one of the most efficient and user-friendly communication upgrades available for professional arborist teams.

Each unit can also connect to a mobile phone via Bluetooth at the same time. Incoming calls can be accepted hands-free by pressing the multifunction button, with no need to remove the phone from a pocket or harness. The conference function allows another participant to be added into the conversation via the mobile network, effectively extending range as long as a mobile signal is available.

Technical Details
Why Choose the Protos BT-Com?
Protos is a German-engineered PPE brand built around their integral helmet concept, and the BT-Com is designed to slot directly into the existing ear-defender bracket with zero wiring or drilling — a genuine advantage over aftermarket radio solutions that require external mounts and cabling prone to snagging in the canopy.
Pairs Well With
