| By Chemical Engineering

The Advantage 1.0 is said to be the world’s first ATEX and IEC-Ex Zone 1/21 mobile phone with 3G technology. The device is a very robust, dust- and water-proof industry mobile phone, according to IP 67. It withstands drops from 2 m, weighs only 180 g, and can be used at temperatures between –20 and 60°C. The device has a 2-megapixel camera and LED flash that allows users to take pictures in Ex Zone 1/21. For lone-worker applications, the phone features a motion sensor, a very accurate GPS functionality and an S.O.S. button. Stand C12 — i.safe Mobile GmbH, Lauda-Königshofen, Germany
