ATEX Intrinsically Safe Walkie Talkie Radios
What are ATEX Walkie Talkie Radios?
ATEX walkie talkie radios are radios designed for use in locations where there may be inflammable or explosive gases or other substances around.
"ATEX" is an abbreviation of the French phrase "ATmosphères EXplosives" (obviously translated as "Explosive Atmosphere"!).
ATEX radios are designed to ensure that the walkie-talkie can never generate heat or a spark that could cause a fire or explosion.
Achieving ATEX standards often make ATEX-approved walkie-talkie radios a lot more expensive to buy than "standard" walkie-talkies.
ATEX walkie-talkies are also usually lower-powered than most general-purpose walkie talkies.
