Hilversum, October 8, 2012 – NEC, global leader in enterprise communications, today announced the introduction of the new IP DECT handset I755x that enables care free wireless communications in demanding and potentially hazardous environments that require electrical equipment to conform to IECEx specifications.

With the introduction of this new intrinsically safe handset, NEC expands its powerful Business Mobility portfolio and in particular its IP DECT I755 Series, with a robust high-end handset created for mobile voice communications and messaging in such high-risk environments.

Explosion protection
In the ruggedized design NEC has managed to combine extreme robustness and resistance to shocks, dust and water (IP54 classification) as well as compliance to IECEx specifications, with an appealing design, an intuitive user interface and its keypad with easy to use distinctive keys. The handset’s explosive environment and safety compliance is in line with the established ATEX EN 60079-0 and EN 60079-11, IECEx IEC 60079 and IEC 60079-11 norms and regulations.

Besides flexibility and comfort, the I755x offers rich functionality, giving users full control over their accessibility and many different call control features seamlessly integrated with the PBX. Text messaging and alarm information, from applications such as alarming and nurse call systems, provide valuable information to the user, including central directory access, personal phone book and calendar entries

Utmost personal security
A dedicated SOS-alarm key and the man-down function (II 3G EEx ib IIC T4), detecting a non-vertical position, provide additional personal security to the user, while the optional Bluetooth headset provides full freedom and flexibility. The I755x handset complies with the DECT standards for high speech quality and security. The dual antennas included in the set allow for antenna diversity, adding to stable and secure communications even in demanding RF environments.

A dual charger and a 6-handset charger rack, both based on contact free inductive charging, allow for additional batteries to be charged, ensuring 24/7 usage.
