i.safe MOBILE and RugGear: Pioneers of 5G radios for critical environments
i.safe MOBILE, the world leader in explosion-proof mobile devices, is partnering with RugGear, an expert in rugged devices, to launch two new 5G radios designed to meet industrial needs and support the digitalization of businesses:
- IS440.1: Explosion-proof radio for hazardous areas (Zone 1/21).
- RG440: robust model suitable for industrial environments.
These devices combine cutting-edge technologies and compatibility with traditional PMR radios, ensuring a smooth transition to digital solutions.
Leveraging public/private 4G/5G networks or Wi-Fi®, these compact radios provide stable and secure communication thanks to the PTT (Push-to-Talk) via third-party applications, while ensuring interoperability with analog and digital technologies.
Key Features:
- Advanced technology: Qualcomm® QCM6490 chipset (3GPP Release 15), Wi-Fi 6 compatibility, Bluetooth® 5.2, NFC, dual SIM with automatic switching.
- Audio performance and robustness: front speaker (>105 dB), MIL-STD-810H and IP68 certification, operation under extreme conditions.
- Intuitive design: dedicated PTT/SOS buttons, 8-pin interface for rugged accessories, replaceable battery (2400/4800 mAh).
5G innovations and increased security
These radios facilitate the networking of employees, machines and processes. Their compatibility with CBRS and LTE Band 68 private networks makes them essential tools for public and industrial safety. With features such as location tracking, access control and emergency alerts (manual or automatic), they enhance worker safety in critical areas.
Practical applications: communication in noisy environments, access management, evacuation alerts, or even use as a body camera thanks to the 8 MP front camera.
By eliminating the maintenance costs of traditional radio networks and enabling a gradual transition to digital solutions, these 5G radios are revolutionizing industrial communication and ensuring flexibility, reliability and data protection.
A connected future
These radios are part of a vision where 5G optimizes industrial workflows thanks to high bandwidth and instantaneous data transmission. i.safe MOBILE and RugGear demonstrate, with these models, their commitment to innovation and safety in industrial environments.
