Intrinsically Safe & ATEX Smartphones

ATEX smartphones allow workers to use modern mobile applications and communications in hazardous areas without having to leave the working zone. Exloc supplies smartphones certified for Zone 1 / 21 and Zone 2 / 22 applications, providing a practical route to mobile working in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals and other environments where potentially explosive atmospheres may be present.

Modern intrinsically safe smartphones offer much more than basic calls and messaging. Depending on the device, users can access 4G and 5G networks, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS alongside Android applications used for maintenance, inspections, workforce communication and other industrial workflows. Rugged construction, glove-compatible operation, replaceable batteries and programmable buttons are also available across parts of the range, helping the device remain practical for everyday industrial use rather than simply meeting the required hazardous-area certification.

The right ATEX smartphone depends on how it will actually be used. Screen size, battery arrangements, camera capability, connectivity, Push-to-Talk requirements, software compatibility and available accessories can all influence which device is most suitable once the required hazardous-area certification has been established.

Exloc can help identify an appropriate intrinsically safe smartphone for your application and provide guidance on the current Zone 1 / 21 and Zone 2 / 22 options available.
