Hytera HP795Ex ATEX Two-way Radio : Product Review (2024)
By 2wayradio
The Hytera HP795EX is an ATEX-certified workhorse radio built to keep your crew connected and safe in explosive atmospheres. In hazardous working environments, reliable communication is crucial.
What is ATEX
In industries where hazardous environments pose a risk of explosions or fires, ATEX two-way radios play a crucial role in the protection of workers.
ATEX two-way radios are designed to operate without sparking or generating heat – even if the devices were to fail they still would not spark. This minimises the likelihood of igniting flammable gasses or vapours that might be in the air on ATEX rated site
The EU has implemented a set of ATEX safety standards that equipment must meet to be ATEX-certified and safe to use on ATEX sites.
Industries that are normally categorised into the ATEX rated workplaces are:
- Oil and Gas
- Chemical Manufacturing
- Mining
- Waste management

Features
Clear and Loud Voice Quality
With a 2Watt high-power speaker, the audio from this device is extremely loud, It also has integrated AI noise reduction technology to isolate background noise and ensure critical information is delivered clearly. Clear audio minimises the risk of messages being misinterpreted, leading to fewer errors and rework, saving time and resources. Struggling to hear or understand instructions in a noisy environment can be frustrating and stressful. Clear communication creates a calmer work environment, allowing workers to focus on the task at hand.

Rugged Device
The HP79XEx IIA is certificated with IP67 and MIL-STD-810H after a whole list of reliability tests such as accelerated life testing, impact test for the radio with a 2.4-inch screen, and drop test. It is rugged enough to withstand dust, shock, or sudden drop. The workers can use the radio Wherever they encounter harsh environments.
Dual antimagnetic mechanism
In the area containing metallic compounds, the HP79XEx IIA resists magnetic metal dust and shavings from the environments to damage the speaker — maintaining outstanding audio clarity and longer service life. All lies in the dual antimagnetic mechanism
Safety Features
Lone worker
Provides Lone Worker Protection and reassurance for those who work alone, especially in dangerous environments, such as oil pipeline workers. If the HP79XEx IIA senses that the worker does not make any operation within a preset time, due to a worker becoming incapacitated and unable to move, this radio will automatically alarm and report the location to the companion or control centre for a welfare check
Man down

Precise Positioning
With the built-in positioning module, the HP79XEx IIA supports the flexible combination of GNSS, BDS, GLONASS and Galileo satellite systems. Also, the HP79XEx IIA enhances positioning accuracy down to one meter, thanks to the dual-frequency positioning technology. Such reliable and accurate location information helps locate the individual who may need assistance during an emergency event
Water porting design
The speaker has a unique water porting design that can automatically expel water from the speaker’s acoustic cavity. Even in heavy downpours, the HP795EX will still deliver clear audio.
Versatile Connectivity
The HP795ex has Bluetooth 5.3, WLAN and NFC capabilities. These wireless capabilities allow for enhanced collaboration, data sharing and improved user experience. y eliminating the need for cables in many situations, Bluetooth, WLAN, and NFC provide greater freedom of movement and reduce cable clutter. This can significantly enhance user comfort and productivity, especially during tasks that require frequent movement or data exchange.
