The new range will be certified to ATEX level ATEX CLASS: II 3G Ex nA IIA IIC T6 for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

ATEX approved equipment is a statutory requirement in the Oil and Petrochemical industry where wireless onboard communication, paging systems, ground-to-air communication, maritime VHF communication and Wi-Fi data transmission systems are in use.

The addition of the new Procom ATEX range provides further opportunities to protect employees in the workplace in hazardous and potentially explosive environments.

Risk of explosion requires a need for ATEX certified equipment and there will be 25 different ATEX antenna types across many different applications including:

  • ATEX certified, Omnidirectional Base Station Antenna for the International Aircraft Band.
  • ATEX certified, Omnidirectional VHF & UHF Marine and Base Station Antennas
  • ATEX certified, Omnidirectional Base Station and Marine WI-FI Antennas
  • Active receiving antenna for the 1575 MHz NAVSTAR GPS satellite navigational system.
