The LXE MX1-IS Computer is Manufactured for Use in the Most Extreme Explosive Environments Where Intrinsically Safe Equipment Approval Ratings are Required 

ATLANTA, Nov. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- LXE Inc., a leading manufacturer of rugged wireless products and solutions that improve the performance of supply- chain execution applications, today announced the introduction of the MX1-IS, LXE's ultra-rugged Intrinsically Safe mobile handheld computer.  Due to its broad Intrinsically Safe (I-Safe) approval rating, the MX1-IS can be used in almost any I-Safe environment, including environments where explosive material is always present (Division I Rating).

"Having an approval rating that covers such a broad range of hazardous environments makes the purchasing decision simple for a manager," says Tim Crews, LXE Product Manager.  "Add to this the MX1- IS's ultra-rugged design, IP rating, and numerous available options, and you have the best match for any extreme hazardous environment that requires an I-Safe solution," adds Mr. Crews.
