ECOM’s mobile equipment can be used within a company or on a ship where hazardous explosive substances are stored and transported. Thanks to the special housing, no sparks are produced that could cause fire or explosions. In addition, the equipment contains all the functions you would expect, such as wifi, bluetooth and a camera. But it doesn’t stop there: this mobile equipment is so designed that it is a perfect match for the requirements of maritime personnel. The communication devices are: the Ex® mobile phone, the Smart-Ex® (a 4g smart phone) and the Tab-Ex® (a tablet), all run on the latest Android operating system (4.4 Kitkat). Indestructible mobile and smart phones The Ex® and Smart-Ex® allows maritime personnel to call and internet on board worry-free. These devices can take a knock. Both are water and shock-resistant, have a tireless battery and a special display that can be read in direct sunlight. Thanks to the powerful audio applications, conversations are able to transcend the operating din//noise on board. The smart phone has a textile and scratch-resistant multi-touch screen that can even be operated when wearing with dirty or wet gloves, and can hold more than 700,000 software applications uploaded from Google Play Store. The Smart-Ex® stays up-to-date via fota (firmware over the air) and so does not need to be connected to a PC. Tablet with all the essential applications The Tab-Ex®is lightweight, compact and, thanks to its 8mm screen, safe for working and communicating in an environment with a risk of explosion. Mailing, chatting or online conferencing via the built-in camera: everything is possible with this ultra-safe tablet. A rich spectrum of desktop applications – like inspection & maintenance and stock management – makes the Tab-Ex®perfectly suited to the jobs maritime personnel have to perform on board. Using these wireless tablets they can communicate diagnoses to each other directly when performing inspection and maintenance work.
