Areas with dangerous concentrations of flammable gases or dust are found in applications such as petrochemical refineries and mines. As a discipline, it is an application of inherent safety in instrumentation.
High-power circuits such as electric motors or lighting cannot use intrinsic safety methods for protection.

All the radios, audio accessories and third party sensors that integrate with Hytera solutions are IS certified to meet the safety requirements of a working environment.

Standards for intrinsic protection are mainly developed by IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) but different agencies also develop standards for intrinsic safety. Examples of such agencies in North America are the Factory Mutual Research Corporation (FM Global), which certifies radios, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) that certifies mobile phones, and in Canada the Canadian Standards Association. In Europe, the standard for intrinsic safety certification is the CENELEC standard EN 60079-11 which is part of the ATEXdirective(ATEX), while in other countries around the world the IEC standards (IECEx) are followed.

Hytera’s explosion-proof radios has been certified by most of the rigorous standards in the world including ATEX, IECEX, FM, UL, CSA of Canada and TIIS of Japan.

The Hytera HyTalk Nationwide Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) Network provides wide-area coverage using Wi-Fi network and 4G/LTE cellular and networks.

Hytera rugged PoC devices include mobile radios for vehicles, and smart devices that run industrial apps.

Hytera HyTalk features a powerful dispatching application that provides instant group calling and individual calling along with GPS location tracking of remote workers and drivers.
