The 3M™ PELTOR™ WS™ Adapter G3 Has Arrived
At Best4Safety, we know that when you're working airside, every second counts - and every instruction must be heard the first time. Whether it's pushback, marshalling, or other airside ground operations, dependable communication can make the difference between seamless coordination and costly mistakes. Enter the new 3M™ PELTOR™ WS™ Adapter G3 - a wireless communication adapter engineered specifically for high-noise, high-pressure environments like airports, hangars, and flightlines.
Built for Airside Environments
From unpredictable weather to the roar of jet engines, airside work presents constant challenges. The WS Adapter G3 is built to thrive in these conditions. Its high-visibility yellow casing ensures it’s easily seen on the tarmac, and its IP54-rated weather-resistant housing offers protection from dust, moisture, and rough handling. This makes it ideal for high-traffic, safety-critical roles such as:
- Pushback operations
- Aircraft refuelling
- Airside safety marshalling
- Ground servicing and maintenance
With a double-loop nylon strap and locking safety hook, the adapter stays securely fastened during physically demanding tasks like pushback procedures, even in wet or windy conditions.
Simple, Reliable Communication - Even on the Ramp
Airside environments are loud and fast-moving, so simplicity and speed are vital. The Adapter G3 features a no-nonsense interface with just two buttons - one for power, one for pairing. That’s it. Other operational highlights include:
- Bright green LED status lights visible in direct sunlight - ideal for ramp and pushback use.
- Quick battery check with LED indicator, so you’re never caught off-guard.
- Voice alerts for disconnection or pairing issues - no second guessing.
- Auto-reconnect to previously paired 3M™ PELTOR™ headsets, saving precious setup time at shift changes.
This all translates into faster prep times and smoother transitions between airside teams during time-sensitive procedures like aircraft arrival and departure.
Built to Go the Distance
The WS Adapter G3 includes a removable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery with an impressive 190-hour runtime - long enough for extended shifts and round-the-clock airside support. Swapping batteries is fast and tool-free, keeping ground crews moving and reducing delays during critical windows like pushback operations.
Pushback-Ready Audio Clarity
- Wideband audio for more natural, lifelike speech.
- Low-latency, full-duplex sound - talk and listen at the same time without lag.
- Digital noise reduction and echo cancellation, ensuring clarity even during peak ramp activity.
Whether you're coordinating a pushback with the flight deck or relaying instructions to marshallers on the ramp, the Adapter G3 ensures your message cuts through the noise.
Seamless Integration with the 3M™ PELTOR™ WS ProTac XPI
The WS Adapter G3 is designed to work hand-in-hand with the trusted 3M™ PELTOR™ WS ProTac XPI headset. Together, they form a robust, airside-ready communication system built for both hearing protection and situational awareness. This makes it ideal for noisy, hazardous zones like airport aprons and aircraft gates.
Pairing the Adapter G3 with the WS ProTac XPI gives you:
- Bluetooth® duplex communication, so teams can talk freely without cables or radios in hand.
- Level-dependent listening, allowing users to stay aware of ramp traffic or emergency alarms while protected.
- PTT (push-to-talk) compatibility when connected to aircraft intercoms or ground radios.
- Seamless re-pairing, so once it’s set up, it stays ready for every airside shift.
Why It’s a Must-Have for Airside Pushback Teams
If your airside crew works on the apron or taxiway, the 3M™ PELTOR™ WS Adapter G3 is more than a communication tool - it’s a safety lifeline. Here’s what makes it perfect for airside and pushback operations:
✅ High-durability design for ramp and tarmac conditions.
✅ Unmatched audio clarity amid jet noise and ground handling activity.
✅ Battery performance that lasts through extended airside shifts.
✅ Smart, simple interface - ideal for pre-flight, pushback, or turnaround tasks.
