Swatcom DX2 ATEX Wireless Transceiver Twin Pack
If you are operating in hazardous, high-risk environments, reliable communication isn't just a convenience—it is a critical safety requirement. The Swatcom DX2 Long Range ATEX Wireless Transceiver Twin Pack is designed to give your team crystal-clear, hands-free audio without the need for base stations or relays. Whether you are navigating complex industrial sites or wearing heavy protective gear like SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus), this intrinsically safe system ensures you stay connected when it matters most.
How does the Swatcom DX2 improve team communication?
Unlike traditional walkie-talkies, the Swatcom DX2 operates on a full-duplex network. This means you can have a natural, continuous conversation without needing to press a button to talk. Up to three users can speak simultaneously in a conference mode, while an infinite number of additional team members can listen in. The digital coded wireless network deploys in seconds on a licence-free radio band, allowing you to use it practically anywhere.
Is this system suitable for hazardous environments?
Absolutely. The Swatcom DX2 is fully ATEX approved and intrinsically safe, making it ideal for explosive or highly volatile atmospheres. It boasts an IP67 rating, meaning it is completely dust-tight and protected against water immersion. Please note that the protective cover must remain on at all times to comply with ATEX specifications. It also features programmable safety alarms, including Man Down, Impact, and Immobility alerts, to keep your workforce secure.
What kind of range and battery life can I expect?
You can expect exceptional coverage with a range of up to 1 kilometer (line of sight) using the half-wave antenna. The system offers high signal penetration, allowing it to transmit effectively through physical obstacles like walls, floors, and even Faraday cages. With up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge, your team can rely on uninterrupted communication throughout an entire shift.
