What is an ATEX phone?

An ATEX smartphone is a specially designed mobile device that can be used safely in explosive environments. The term ATEX refers to the European directives for equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

These phones are designed to be spark-free, resistant to extreme conditions and guarantee optimal communication in high-risk sectors such as the chemical industry, oil and gas extraction and the pharmaceutical sector.
