Siyata Mobile Inc. (Nasdaq: SYTA, SYTAW) ("Siyata" or the "Company"), a global developer and vendor of mission-critical Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) handsets and accessories, and ESChat, a provider of mission-critical broadband Push-to-Talk (PTT) services, today announced that Siyata's SD7 Handsets, powered by the ESChat platform, will be deployed to support critical communications at Burning Man 2025, a unique cultural event being held August 24 – September 1, 2025 in Nevada's Black Rock Desert.
"Burning Man is a one-of-a-kind event that presents extraordinary logistical and environmental challenges," said Marc Seelenfreund, CEO of Siyata. "We are proud that our SD7 handsets, in partnership with ESChat, will help ensure the safety and coordination of guests and on-site teams in such a dynamic setting. Built for rugged reliability, our devices are trusted by first responders and emergency crews across North America and are ideal for high-stakes environments like Black Rock City."
Once a year, tens of thousands of people gather in Nevada's Black Rock Desert to create Black Rock City, a temporary metropolis dedicated to community, art, self-expression and self-reliance. With no fixed infrastructure and often extreme weather conditions, the event relies on robust communication systems for safety and coordination. Siyata's SD7 handsets will be utilized by event personnel to coordinate with crews that are handling logistics between San Francisco, Reno, and the event site throughout the nine-day event.
"Our partnership with Siyata Mobile continues to demonstrate the value of combining rugged hardware with proven software to meet the demands of real-world mission-critical operations," said Josh Lober, President of ESChat. "Burning Man presents unique challenges that require resilient and scalable communications. We are proud that out secure and reliable platform will play a central role in keeping teams connected in Black Rock City."
This deployment underscores the ongoing collaboration between Siyata and ESChat to equip public safety, emergency response and event coordination teams with dependable communication tools, even in the most unforgiving environments.
