Explosion-Proof Wireless Access Points: MAMX Series for Cisco, Cambium, Huawei & Motorola

Wireless connectivity isn't just about performance; it’s about safety, reliability, and compliance, too. But deploying access points in explosive or hazardous areas isn’t as simple as installing a router. You need hardware that delivers industry-best performance and meets strict safety standards. That’s where the MAMX Series Explosion-Proof Wireless Access Points come in. It is a robust, purpose-built solution for hazardous environments where even a tiny spark can be catastrophic.

What Are Explosion-Proof Wireless Access Points?

Explosion-proof wireless access points are specially designed devices encased in heavy-duty enclosures that prevent any internal ignition source from igniting the surrounding flammable gases, vapours, or dust. These are not just waterproof or weatherproof—they’re life-saving, certified tools that ensure your hazardous area wireless network is both efficient and safe.

The MAMX Series meets stringent global standards, including ATEX and IECEx, and checks all the boxes, providing a fully enclosed, flameproof housing that allows enterprise-grade APs to operate safely in Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas.

This rugged housing is engineered to transform standard access points from major brands like Cisco, Cambium Networks, Huawei, and Motorola Solutions into safe, fully operational systems within Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous environments.

Key Features:

• IECEx & ATEX Certified for Zone 1, Zone 2 hazardous areas

• Compatible with major AP brands: Cisco, Cambium Networks, Huawei, Motorola

• Designed for 2.4GHz / 5GHz dual-band wireless systems

• IP66-rated weatherproof housing

• Explosion-proof junction boxes are made with stainless steel or copper-free aluminium alloy and come with a marine grade powder-coating 

• Built-in surge protection up to 10kA

• External antenna options with explosion-proof connectors

Why Choose the MAMX Series for Your Hazardous Area Wireless Network?
