Project Details

We engineered the radio to be intrinsically safe and shock proof. The internal electronics are completely encased by a custom shock absorbent boot.

The radio is designed and engineered in three main assemblies that are quick and easy to screw together.

We engineered the radio for IP67 certification – ingress protected from dust and water immersion to 1 metre for 30 minutes. We detailed the radio housings to screw together with custom seals.

Our considered design of the device’s geometry and careful material selection make it impact resistant.

We designed the user interface to be simple to understand and very easy to operate. Every button on the radio has its own unique geometry allowing an operator to use the radio in the dark or when there is very poor visibility.
