XSHIELDER iPhone 16 Pro Max – smartfon ATEX / IECEx Zone 1/21

XSHIELDER iPhone 16 Pro Max – ATEX/IECEx smartphone for Ex Zone 1/21

The XSHIELDER iPhone 16 Pro Max is a professional mobile solution designed for use in Ex Zone 1/21 hazardous areas. It combines the capabilities of the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max with the XSHIELDER explosion-proof enclosure, designed and manufactured in Norway.

The complete solution is available in ATEX and ATEX + IECEx versions and can be used in environments with a risk of explosive gas and dust atmospheres.

Unlike many traditional industrial phones, the XSHIELDER Ex allows you to take full advantage of the Apple iOS platform, a powerful A18 Pro processor, a 48MP camera, a LiDAR scanner, 5G connectivity, and a large 6.9" Super Retina XDR OLED display.

This solution is designed for businesses that need a modern smartphone for use in hazardous areas without sacrificing the functionality of a premium device.

iPhone 16 Pro Max for Hazardous Areas

The standard Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max is not certified for standalone use in hazardous areas. XSHIELDER creates a certified set that includes the iPhone and a specially designed explosion-proof enclosure.

The certification applies to the complete solution, not just the standard phone or enclosure used separately.

The XSHIELDER iPhone 16 Pro Max can be used in, among others, the following industries:

oil and gas industry,
offshore installations,
petrochemical industry,
chemical plants,
pharmaceutical industry,
food industry,
cosmetics production,
energy industry,
industrial automation,
manufacturing and logistics,
aviation,
maintenance,
technical inspections, and field service.

ATEX and IECEx Certification – Zone 1/21

The XSHIELDER iPhone 16 Pro Max has been certified for use in areas with a risk of explosive gas and dust atmospheres.

Ex markings:

II 2G Ex db IIC T6 Gb – gas atmosphere
II 2D Ex tb IIIC T80°C Db – dust atmosphere
ATEX certification: FIDI 24 ATEX 0075X
IECEx certification: IECEx FIDI 24.0017X
Ambient temperature range: -20°C to +50°C
Gas zone: Zone 1
Dust zone: Zone 21

A device certified for Zone 1/21 may also be used in the corresponding lower-risk zones of Zone 2/22, provided it complies with the classification and requirements applicable at the site of use.

Full iPhone 16 Pro Max Performance in an Industrial Environment

XSHIELDER utilizes the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max with the A18 Pro processor, providing the user with performance far beyond the capabilities of many conventional industrial devices.

The large 6.9" Super Retina XDR OLED screen ensures comfortable work with documentation, forms, maintenance systems, service applications, instructions, and ERP, EAM or CMMS systems.

The Pro camera system, which includes a 48MP Fusion camera, a 48MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 5x telephoto lens, and a LiDAR scanner, allows you to use the device for applications such as:

photographic documentation,
technical inspections,
fault logging,
infrastructure documentation,

Norwegian XSHIELDER Technology

XSHIELDER is a Norwegian solution developed for the use of modern mobile devices in explosion-hazardous areas.

The XSHIELDER enclosure is designed and manufactured in Norway, and smartphones are installed in certified enclosures at the manufacturer's assembly plant in Norway.

This provides users with a solution that combines a modern Apple platform with a design specifically designed for industrial Ex zones.

XSHIELDER iPhone 16 Pro Max for Businesses and Large Device Fleets

The XSHIELDER iPhone 16 Pro Max is a particularly interesting solution for businesses deploying a larger number of mobile devices.

This model offers the same ATEX/IECEx Zone 1/21 certification class as newer XSHIELDER solutions, while also being a more cost-effective choice where the latest processor generation is not a key requirement.

The standard iOS system allows the device to be integrated into an enterprise's existing mobility management infrastructure. XSHIELDER is compatible with Apple MDM mechanisms and solutions such as Microsoft Intune, Jamf, and SAP.

This allows for centralized management of devices, applications, and security policies, similar to other corporate Apple devices.

A Modern Ex-Rated Smartphone for Professional Applications

The XSHIELDER iPhone 16 Pro Max is a solution for organizations seeking an ATEX-compliant phone, Ex-rated smartphone, or iPhone designed for use in Zone 1/21, but who don't want to limit users to older mobile platforms.

The combination of explosion-proof certification with an A18 Pro processor, 48MP camera, LiDAR scanner, 6.9" OLED screen, 5G, and Wi-Fi 7 allows you to use a single smartphone for communication, documentation, inspections, and running corporate applications directly in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Before purchasing, verify the Ex-rated zone classification applicable to your location and select the appropriate ATEX or ATEX + IECEx version.
