Smart-Ex 03: High-Performance 5G Smartphone for Hazardous Areas

With the new Smart-Ex 03, Pepperl+Fuchs is taking the digitalization of processes in hazardous areas to a new level: The 5G smartphone developed in Europe combines the global support and expertise of the Pepperl+Fuchs Group with its subsidiaries ECOM Instruments, an expert in intrinsically safe mobile devices, and Aava Mobile, a specialist in industrial tablets and wireless technologies. It is therefore equipped with numerous features to meet all industry requirements—from Voice over IP (VoIP), programmable buttons, Wi-Fi only mode, remote diagnostics, and remote support to the implementation of a wide range of Industry 4.0 applications.
