On the occasion of the French Fire Brigade congress, Cassidian Systems is presenting a new TETRAPOL handheld radio prototype called TPH700 Ex for explosion-prone areas.

TPH700 Ex comes with an ATEX certification for gas, enabling safe and reliable communication in places where flammable substances are produced, processed, transported and stored. Such places include oil and gas platforms, petrochemical and steel plants, refineries, rigs and harbours. The TPH700 Ex meets the requirements of fire brigades when working in hazardous circumstances and has a robust mechanical construction, fulfilling the harshest conditions.

The TPH700 Ex enforces the renewal of the TETRAPOL radio portfolio. Its user interface is similar to that of the latest Cassidian handheld and mobile radio models, including clear and sharp colour display and easy-to-use navigation and short-cut keys.

The TPH700 Ex will be released in 2011 with a wide range of ATEX certified accessories including a robust remote speaker microphone and several other audio devices, plus various wireless accessories.
