Entel DT953 Licence-Free ATEX Two-Way Radio | Intrinsically Safe
If you are managing a team in a hazardous or industrial environment, finding a reliable communication tool that doesn't require a licence can be a challenge. The Entel DT953 is built specifically for these demanding conditions. As part of the DTEx DMR Digital Series, this industrial-grade portable radio combines intrinsically safe ATEX certification with the convenience of licence-free PMR446 operation. Whether your team is working in heavy rain or wearing thick safety gloves, this radio ensures your messages come through loud and clear.
Why choose the Entel DT953 for hazardous environments?
Safety and durability are at the core of this device. It boasts an ATEX II 2G Ex ib IIC T4 Gb certification, making it intrinsically safe for potentially explosive atmospheres. Beyond its safety ratings, it features an IP68 submersible build, meaning it can survive underwater at a depth of 2 meters for up to 4 hours. The ergonomic controls are specifically designed for gloved-hand use, and the high-contrast white-on-black OLED display ensures you can easily read channel information in any lighting condition.
Will this radio provide clear audio in noisy industrial settings?
Absolutely. The DT953 delivers 3 watts of exceptionally loud audio, providing best-in-class clarity even in high-noise environments. It also features accessory audio tailoring, which automatically optimizes the sound profile for whatever earpiece or headset you connect to its gold-plated, locking accessory connector. If you are exploring other digital options for your fleet, you might also want to compare features with the Vertex EVX-534 to see which model best fits your specific operational needs.
