Product Overview
The Motorola GP380 Ex is the specialized, intrinsically safe variant of the flagship Professional series portable radio. Engineered explicitly to meet the demanding ATEX directives, the GP380ex allows secure operation in environment categories containing volatile gas concentrations, combustible dust layers, or hazardous underground mining operations. Unlike standard portables, the GP380 Ex restricts its maximum RF output to 1W and uses unique electrostatic-discharge-protected polymer casings. It features a complete alphanumeric keypad and a 14-character LCD screen, allowing field workers to manage up to 255 channels, navigate clear contact directories, use direct DTMF phone patching, and send predefined status alerts. Sound clarity is preserved using Motorola’s X-Pand™ audio compression and Low Level Expansion (LLE), neutralizing massive background roar common in heavy industry. As a reliable enterprise equipment supplier, we provide fully-vetted wholesale solutions, custom fleet programming, and certified ATEX-safe power configurations to keep your project operations highly secure and compliant.
