ATEX wireless connectivity solutions bring secure, high-performance network coverage into hazardous areas where standard IT equipment cannot be installed. Certified for environments such as ATEX Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21, and Zone 22, these devices keep operators, sensors, and control systems connected without ever becoming an ignition source. The category covers ATEX Wi-Fi access points, ATEX cellular and Wi-Fi routers, and ATEX LoRa modules, all engineered to meet the same data, range, and reliability expectations as their industrial counterparts in non-classified areas.
In industries like oil and gas, petrochemical processing, offshore platforms, refineries, pharmaceutical production, and mining, wireless connectivity is no longer optional. ATEX-certified routers and access points enable Wi-Fi coverage for ATEX tablets, smartphones, and barcode scanners across the entire site, while ATEX LoRa modules support long-range, low-power IoT applications such as tank-level monitoring, asset tracking, predictive maintenance, and environmental sensing. Compared to consumer or standard industrial equipment, ATEX wireless devices feature explosion-proof enclosures (typically Ex d), high IP66/IP68 ingress protection ratings, and intrinsically safe interfaces — making them suitable not only for explosive atmospheres, but also for harsh outdoor and maritime conditions.
The leading manufacturer in this category is Solexy. Their SWA (aluminum) and SWS (stainless steel) enclosure series house ATEX Wi-Fi access points (2.4/5 GHz, 802.11n/ac MIMO 2×2, with access point, client, repeater, and MESH modes), 4G/5G LTE routers with integrated Wi-Fi hotspots, and compact LoRa transmitters for battery-powered IoT deployments. Solexy products are certified to ATEX, IECEx, and North American (USA & Canada) standards, which makes them suitable for both European and international installations. Their patented intrinsically safe Ethernet barriers also allow cables to be safely connected or disconnected in hazardous areas during live communication — a key advantage in environments where downtime is costly.
ATEX wireless connectivity devices integrate cleanly into existing network architectures. Access points can be deployed via Power over Ethernet (PoE) or independent power supplies, paired with Ex-rated antennas through certified RF barriers and antenna couplers. LoRa modules connect to standard LoRaWAN gateways, making them easy to incorporate into broader IoT platforms. Whether you’re extending Wi-Fi coverage to a refinery process unit, setting up a temporary 4G backup link on an offshore platform, or rolling out a long-range sensor network across a tank farm, ATEX wireless connectivity is the foundation that keeps your operation connected, compliant, and safe.
