GP340Ex vs DP4801Ex — ATEX Zone 1 Analog vs DMR Digital Hazardous-Area Radio

GP340Ex — ATEX Zone 1 Analog with 16 Channels, 1,800mAh, and 14-Hour Runtime at 290g

Explosion-proof portable certified ATEX Zone 1 — explosive gas present during normal operation, the highest continuous-hazard tier. 16 channels of pure analog operation: certification isolates every electronic path, so digital features are deliberately traded for intrinsic safety. 1,800mAh battery delivers 14 hours at 290g. The zone-entry workhorse for chemical plants, gas processing, and oil tank farms across Asia and the Middle East, where legacy analog fleets and lowest-cost compliance drive procurement — the radio's job is to be intrinsically safe and legally present, not feature-rich.

DP4801Ex — ATEX Zone 2 DMR with 2.4" Color Display, Full Keypad, GPS/GLONASS, and Man-Down Detection

Hazardous-area DMR portable certified ATEX/IECEx Zone 2 & 22 (gas and dust environments) with a 2.4-inch full-color display and alphanumeric keypad for direct text messaging — the flagship of Motorola's Ex portfolio. Enhanced GPS/GLONASS with man-down accelerometer for automatic lone-worker alerts. Digital voice quality with AES-256 encryption, superior to analog GP340Ex. The step-up choice for refineries and LNG terminals already running DMR digital infrastructure: same hazardous-area compliance with text dispatch, workforce tracking, and lone-worker safety — justifying the higher per-unit cost over analog zone radios when digital fleet integration is a requirement.
