Motorola R7Ex ATEX: Safe, Clear Communication in Explosive Environments

Thursday 22nd May 2025

In high-risk industries such as oil and gas, mining, chemical processing, and energy utilities, communication is more than essential—it's a matter of life and safety. The Motorola R7Ex ATEX-certified two-way radio is purpose-built for such critical environments, offering advanced features while meeting the strictest safety standards for use in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres.

The R7Ex ATEX is both ATEX and IECEx certified, ensuring it can be safely used in hazardous zones where flammable gases, vapors, or dust may be present. With its robust IP68 rating and MIL-STD-810H compliance, this radio is water-submersible, dust-tight, and capable of operating in extreme temperatures and rugged environments. Its bright color accents help ensure visibility and compliance in industries where safety compliance is strictly monitored.

One of the R7Ex's standout features is its superior audio performance. With a powerful 2.5W speaker and adaptive AI noise suppression, the R7Ex allows for loud, clear communication even in environments with heavy machinery, engine noise, or wind. The Volume Boost feature pushes output up to 108 phons—ideal for hearing through protective gear or in open industrial areas.

The radio is also designed for ease of use under pressure. Its ergonomic, anti-slip housing is glove-friendly, and the enlarged display remains readable in bright light or darkness. Programmable buttons and a high-contrast screen allow users to access key functions quickly, even during an emergency.

The Motorola R7Ex ATEX enables reliable, compliant communication in industries where the risk of explosion is high and clarity and safety are critical.
