Designed by Kopin Corporation to function over Verizon’s 4G LTE network, the Gen 3.8 headset is the lightest Golden-i headset to date, weighing 4.5 ounces in its lightest configuration. The boom structure and metallization within the device is a magnesium copper titanium alloy with Lexan polycarbonate shell – designed to operate under various different temperatures.

Launched at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting & Exposition by Motorola Solutions, the HC1 was built to withstand harsh conditions and rough handling - helping to improve productivity and accuracy in environments where carrying a laptop is not feasible, safe, or convenient. Designed to be mounted onto a hard hat or other safety equipment, the HC1 allows field technicians hands-free access to schematics and other important data while servicing systems in remote locations.
