Do WiFi antennas need explosion protection?
With the advancement of wireless network and electronics technology, wireless devices have become widely used in industrial production sites like the petroleum, coal, and chemical industries, where flammable and explosive materials are present. So, do WiFi antennas also need explosion protection in these production sites? Yes, they do. However, it's not the WiFi antennas themselves that need to be explosion-proof, but rather the WiFi signals emitted by explosion-proof access points (APs), which can be used in industrial production sites with flammable and explosive materials.
WiFi antenna communication devices used in explosive environments require modification to address potential hazardous ignition sources in electronic circuits, including static electricity, sparks, hot surfaces, and radio frequency sources. These devices must adopt explosion-proof, intrinsically safe, and increased safety technologies to meet relevant standards.
The explosion-proof wireless base station AP198-F utilizes a flameproof structure and is suitable for use in Class IIA and IIB environments, and in Zones 1 and 2, with explosive mixtures of flammable gases or vapors with air, in ignition temperature groups T1 to T6. Depending on customer needs, the system can be configured with either economical or high-performance wireless access points, with options for indoor or outdoor antennas, and features built-in surge protectors and other protective measures. It is particularly suitable for hazardous materials production, logistics, warehousing, and other applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and oil and gas industries, as well as oil and gas extraction platforms.
