A demonstration of the Hytera Smart Police Light Bar system takes place at the Hytera exhibition pavilion during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, on March 5, 2026. The system features integrated AI-powered Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) with a multi-camera array, including 8-megapixel high-definition front and rear sensors and 5-megapixel side-view sensors, capable of scanning up to five lanes of traffic simultaneously. It is powered by an integrated edge computing unit with an octa-core AI processor and a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for real-time optical character recognition (OCR) and vehicle classification at speeds up to 250 km/h. The setup includes a dual-screen configuration: a ruggedized 12.1-inch dashboard terminal displaying live video feeds with highlighted target data, and a secondary Hytera VM780 body-worn camera interface for data synchronization. This 5G-enabled solution uses HyTalk and iKeeper platforms to cross-reference captured plates against law enforcement databases for stolen vehicles or traffic violations.
