Operating within hazardous environments can prove tricky when requiring radios for shutdowns. New Zealand based Ballance required radios which were TIA4950 approved to be used in UL/FM Division 1, Class I, Groups C, D, Class II, Group E, F, G and Class III hazardous locations.
To stay connected, Digicom implemented over 150 UL/FM approved radios to ensure the shutdown crews stayed connected with exisiting personnel onsite.
