The World's First 5G Smartphone for Explosion Hazardous Areas

i.safe MOBILE GmbH, innovation and global market leader for explosion-proof mobile devices and solutions, has won the prestigious Red Dot Design Award for its product design of the IS540.x, the first 5G smartphone for explosion hazardous areas. The design of the smartphone is completely tailored to the dedicated application area in explosive industrial environments: The in-house design team has combined the protective robust frame in black industrial style elegantly and at the same time strikingly for the safety area, with red line elements and a SOS button. Thanks to the rubberized honeycomb structure of the side panels, the device has a good grip, fits very well in hand and is easy to operate even with wet hands as well as gloves. The dedicated 16-pin ISM interface for accessory connection and the battery are secured with high-quality stainless steel screw connections and round off the design concept.

Performance, Safety, Clarity, and Usability

With the development of the IS540.1 smartphone, i.safe MOBILE has launched the world's first 5G smartphone for ATEX and IECEx zone 1/21. The R&D team placed particular emphasis on performance, safety, clarity, and usability. This has now cleared the way for international industrial customers from the chemical, petroleum processing, pharmaceutical, and other demanding process industries to use the device in explosion-proof applications in the 5G network and in 5G campus networks.
