BRUSSELS / Belgium, June 17, 2025 – Finnish technology company Oy Stop Noise Finland Ltd and Suomen Erillisverkot Oy, one of Europe’s leading mission-critical communications operators, today announced a significant pre-order for the new HYBRID X operating device. The announcement was made at Critical Communications World 2025, held at Brussels Expo, where initial production deliveries were confirmed to begin in Q4/2025.

The HYBRID X operating device is designed for demanding operational environments where usability and fast, reliable communication are essential – even when touchscreens are inaccessible due to gloves or low visibility. Acting as an accessory to smartphones, HYBRID X operating device brings a physical-button user interface seamlessly into professional and mission-critical applications.

"The HYBRID X operating device directly addresses the needs of our user base. In new mission-critical broadband networks, with frequently changing and updated end devices, end-user training will be a sustainable challenge. With HYBRID X, its user interface remains the same when changing devices, significantly reducing user training needs.” said Jarmo Vinkvist, COO of Suomen Erillisverkot Oy. "It allows us to offer our customers a more intuitive and dependable way to control mission-critical applications. This pre-order supports our strategy to develop the future of secure communications based on real-world experience and field usability."

"This agreement is a major milestone in our journey to international markets," said Markku Nieminen, CEO of Oy Stop Noise Finland Ltd. "We are proud to see that the HYBRID X concept – bringing usability into the physical world as part of mobile applications – strongly resonates with mission-critical users."
