VILNIUS, Lithuania,
March 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Yukon
Group, Europe's leading thermal
imaging and night vision company, has launched the world's
first upgradable thermal monocular for civilian use. The
Pulsar Telos LRF XP50 is set to become an indispensable tool
for hunters, explorers and rescuers everywhere.
"This device is the first of its kind in the field of optical
engineering. Our product allows users to seamlessly upgrade with
enhanced features such as more powerful optics, higher-resolution
sensors or additional laser rangefinders - while retaining
their existing device. We believe its upgradability function will
be embraced by other manufacturers around Europe and beyond," says Yukon Group CEO
Volha Alsheuskaya.
"Upgradability is environmentally friendly. As part of Yukon
Group's commitment to reducing e-waste, the ability to add and
replace features on the Telos LRF XP50 improves longevity and
significantly reduces its environmental impact," she
adds.
According to the United Nations, more than 80 % of e-waste is
not formally recycled. Meanwhile, more than 50 million tonnes of
e-waste is produced each year - a figure that is increasing.
Sustainable and long-lasting, the Telos LRF XP50 embodies Yukon
Group's core mission to evolve with users' needs while offering
exceptional durability. Upgradeability ensures the device remains
future-proof and at the forefront of thermal imaging technology.
Whenever a new feature or an upgrade becomes available, Telos LRF
XP50 owners from any EU country will be invited to send their
devices to the company to get updated.
And the Telos LRF XP50 doesn't make any sacrifices where it
counts: performance. The device was recognised in the 2024 British
Shooting Show with the prestigious Innovative Product of the Year
award.
"Worldwide competition pushes us every year if not every month.
Our industry partners agree that technological development in
hunting and outdoor industries moves exceptionally fast. This swift
pace leads to the overproduction of devices with tricky-to-recycle
parts. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact while
ensuring Yukon tech remains
cutting edge," Alsheuskaya said.
The Telos LRF XP50 breaks ground on EU sustainability
regulations, which incentivises companies to produce more
environmentally conscious products and extend their usage. Rather
than prohibiting manufacturers from designing products with
intentionally limited lifespans, these regulations promote the
provision of software updates, consumables, and spare parts to
prolong the longevity of their devices. This mindset of responsible
resource management is fundamental to Yukon Group," says CEO
Alsheuskaya.
With Telos LRF XP50 in mind, she urged businesses to better
integrate sustainability principles into their products, as
conventional measures for reducing carbon emissions often fall
short of what is needed to address environmental concerns
adequately.
