In the industrial sector, communication is an essential element for safety. In high-risk environments such as chemical plants, refineries, mines, fuel depots, and construction sites where flammable substances or potentially explosive gases are present, it is essential to equip yourself with specific devices designed not to pose a danger themselves.
ATEX two-way radios are the answer to these needs. These are tools certified according to European directives that regulate their use in potentially explosive atmospheres. ATEX radios guarantee immediate and reliable communications in difficult operational scenarios, allowing rapid and continuous coordination between operators, technicians, and emergency teams.
Among the most reliable models available on the market today are the Entel DT952EX and DT953EX ATEX portable radios, designed for hostile environments, certified according to the highest international standards, and, not insignificantly, usable without a license, thanks to the use of PMR446 frequencies.
What ATEX means and why it's essential in industries
The acronym ATEX (Atmosphères Explosibles) refers to a European directive that regulates the use of equipment intended for environments where explosive atmospheres can form due to the presence of gases, vapors, or dusts. ATEX radios are classified according to the risk zone in which they can operate (zone 0, 1, or 2) and must comply with strict technical requirements.
An ATEX portable radio must be built in such a way as not to generate sparks, not to overheat, and not to accumulate electrostatic charges. Furthermore, it must withstand impacts, vibrations, humidity, and water immersion. These requirements make them indispensable tools in all industrial sectors where constant operational safety is required.
Entel DT952EX: essential, robust, ready to use
The Entel DT952EX model is a license-free ATEX portable radio, designed to offer reliability, robustness, and ease of use in potentially explosive environments. It is a radio without a display or keyboard, an ideal choice for those who want a simple, immediate device, free of superfluous elements and more economical than the advanced version.
This radio is designed according to the principle of intrinsic safety: every component is manufactured to prevent any phenomenon that could trigger an explosion. It is ATEX II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4 certified, operates on PMR446 frequencies (license-free), and offers up to 18 hours of battery life in digital mode.
The structure is compact but extremely resistant: the IP68 protection rating guarantees total impermeability to dust and water, while compliance with MIL-STD-810 standards ensures operation even in the presence of shocks, vibrations, and extreme conditions.
The DT952EX represents the perfect solution for those looking for an ATEX radio that is essential, economical, and immediately usable, ideal for chemical plants, maintenance companies, the energy industry, and ATEX zone 1 and 2 environments.

Entel DT953EX: advanced control and maximum operability
The DT953EX is the version with display and keyboard of the Entel DTEX line. The presence of the display allows precise monitoring of the channel used, battery life, and the radio's operating status. The keyboard allows more advanced function management, such as channel selection or activation of specific modes, particularly useful for those working in dynamic contexts with multiple operational teams.
This radio retains all the technical features of the DT952EX: ATEX certification, IP68 protection rating, 18 hours of battery life, dual transmission mode (digital and analog), compatibility with DMR networks, and a reinforced structure for use in harsh industrial environments.
The main advantage of the DT953EX is the ability to quickly view and manage settings, reducing the risk of operational errors and improving coordination among operators. It is the ideal tool for emergency response teams, shift supervisors, safety technicians, and complex plants.

One of the most important aspects of the Entel DT952EX and DT953EX models is that they are the only professional ATEX two-way radios on the market that can be used without a license, thanks to PMR446 technology.
These radios, in fact, operate on license-free frequencies at a European level, defined by regulations as "free use," without the need to obtain a ministerial license, submit technical projects, or pay annual fees. A significant advantage for companies, which can implement a secure and certified communication system quickly and without additional costs.
