In the industrial sector, where every error can have serious consequences, communication must be immediate, reliable, and secure. In environments with explosion risk – such as refineries, chemical plants, silos, construction sites, and oil industries – it is essential to use devices that do not endanger operators and facilities.
ATEX two-way radios are designed precisely for this: to ensure efficient communication in hazardous contexts. Entel offers two state-of-the-art models, DT952EX and DT953EX, both ATEX certified and usable without a license, thanks to PMR446 frequencies.
What are ATEX radios and why are they indispensable?
ATEX is a European directive that defines safety requirements for the use of equipment in areas with potentially explosive gases, vapors, or dusts. ATEX certified radios must be designed not to generate sparks, not to overheat, and to withstand extreme environmental conditions such as shocks, vibrations, humidity, and immersion.
The use of these radios is fundamental to ensure safe and continuous coordination between operators and emergency teams in high-risk environments. Each model must also comply with rigorous certifications, based on the ATEX zone in which it will be used (0, 1, or 2).
Why choose PMR446 radios: free, simple, effective
PMR446 radios represent today one of the most practical and economical solutions for professional communication. They operate on the UHF 446 MHz frequency, allowing direct connection between devices, without the use of repeaters or mobile networks.
Until a few years ago, in Italy, the use of these radios required bureaucratic formalities and additional costs. But thanks to Law 120 of September 11, 2020, the entire system has been simplified: it is no longer necessary to pay fees or submit declarations. PMR446 radios are now completely free from administrative constraints.
Provided the device complies with RED directive 2014/53/EU, it can be legally used throughout Europe, without permits or licenses.
This regulatory evolution has made PMR446 radios the ideal choice for companies and professionals who want an effective, immediate, and free communication system. No fixed costs, no infrastructure to install: just the freedom to communicate safely and continuously, wherever needed.
