Polaris N60EX: Strengthening Safety and Communication for Colombia’s Oil & Gas Industry

As Colombia advances its position as one of Latin America’s key oil producers, safety and operational efficiency remain central concerns across upstream and downstream activities. Whether on offshore drilling platforms, in onshore production fields, or within refining and petrochemical complexes, the need for reliable, intrinsically safe communication tools is growing.

The Polaris N60EX ATEX Explosion Proof Mobile Phone is built to meet this demand, offering Colombian energy companies a rugged, certified, and smart solution for hazardous environments.

Certified Safety for Hazardous Work Environments

The N60EX is certified for ATEX Zone 1/21 and IECEx, ensuring it can be safely operated in areas with explosive gases, flammable vapors, or combustible dust. This includes typical environments encountered in:

• Offshore rigs along Colombia’s Caribbean coast

• Oilfields in departments like Meta and Casanare

• Refining and transport operations in Barrancabermeja and Cartagena

By enabling safe mobile communication in these high-risk areas, the N60EX helps prevent accidents caused by non-compliant devices and reduces downtime during safety inspections or emergencies.

Reliable Communication on Land and Sea

Equipped with 4G LTE global network support, the N60EX keeps teams connected—even in remote offshore or inland areas. Field workers and technicians can rely on the device for:

• Push-to-talk team coordination

• Remote diagnostics via photo or video

• Emergency alerts and field data reporting

For offshore applications where weather or distance limits personnel movement, the N60EX ensures that every team member remains in sync—no matter the distance.

Ruggedized for Colombia’s Harsh Oilfield Conditions

Colombia’s oil and gas operations face tough terrain and unpredictable weather. The N60EX is built to handle both:

• IP68-rated for dust, water, and oil resistance

• Shockproof and drop-tested to military-grade standards

• Operates in extreme temperatures and humid tropical zones

Whether exposed to salt air on a marine platform or dusty environments inland, the N60EX delivers consistent performance without compromising safety.

Lightweight, Practical, and Easy to Deploy

Weighing just 270g, the N60EX is compact enough for everyday field use, even while wearing gloves or safety gear. Key features include:

• Android OS compatibility for industrial apps

• Dual SIM support for company and local network flexibility

• 4000mAh battery with long standby time for extended shifts

• 8MP rear and 2MP front cameras for inspections and documentation

• Bluetooth and GPS for field asset tracking and positioning

This makes it an ideal choice not just for HSE personnel, but also for maintenance engineers, field inspectors, and logistics staff.

Supporting Colombia’s Energy Sector with Proven Safety Tech

The Polaris N60EX is already being evaluated and deployed in multiple Latin American markets, helping energy companies comply with international safety standards while advancing their digital transformation. For Colombia, this means:

• Minimized operational risk

• Improved communication in isolated zones

• Increased visibility into field operations

Trusted Tools for a Safer Energy Future

As Colombia expands its hydrocarbon production capacity and continues investing in infrastructure modernization, tools like the Polaris N60EX play a critical role in supporting a safe, connected, and efficient energy ecosystem.
