ATEX Radio Hire (What is ATEX?)
Whether on an oil rig, in a gas installation or other potentially explosive envirnment, safe and reliable communications are paramount. That is why Sitelink has included the Motorola ATEX two-way radio range in it’s hire fleet.
Sitelink supply the complete range of Motorola ATEX two-way radio’s including base station and control equipment to provide a complete communications solution.
QUALITY & RELIABILITY
Renowned for their durability, Motorola Professional Series Portable Radios offer unrivalled crystal clear audio quality by activating either Motorola’s X-Pand™ technology or ‘Low Level Expansion.’ This reduces noise usually heard during conversational pauses. When discretion is key, the ‘whisper’ function means that even the quietest message can be transmitted and understood.
Robust and Reliable
All radios have passed Motorola´s rigorous Accelerated Life Test which simulates five years of hard use in the field, and are IP64 compliant for use in environments where dust ingress can leave other radios standing. In addition, the Motorola Professional Series Portable Radios are designed and built to exceed the 11 applicable tests of the exacting standard MIL Spec 810F; the quality hallmark of the US military.
SAFETY
The visible blue colour of the ATEX radios is the official ATEX colour recognised by professional users. The blue colour increases safety for user with mixed fleet of ATEX and non-ATEX radios. The dedicated blue ATEX colour will help ensure that users bring only ATEX approved radios into potentially explosive environments.

This factory-fitted option board automatically summons assistance when the radio falls over or remains motionless for a predetermined time period. Additional safety features include a specially-designed battery connection that prevents non-ATEX approved batteries from being fitted to the radios. The lockable accessory connector plug features a tamper-proof screw to control the use of accessories.
