smartphone that enables and optimizes all digital application scenarios, even in harsh environments.

The smartphone with the cutting-edge AndroidTM 13 operating system complies with the latest technical
standards such as 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and eSIM and is therefore ideally equipped for flexible worldwide use in public
and private networks of mobile network providers or companies. Thanks to fast and secure transmission of
large amounts of data, users benefit from state-of-the-art functions for communication and collaboration such
as remote support, video conferencing or push-to-talk.

The new 6-inch smartphone Smart-Ex® 03 convinces with innovative device health monitoring.

The Smart-Ex® 03 is predestined for a wide range of applications such as communication, digital workflows
and work order management, operational safety, scanning, asset management, predictive maintenance,
augmented reality applications or IoT integration. Employees along the entire value chain in the process
industry, the hydrogen industry, the energy industry or battery production thus benefit from end-to-end digital
processes right into hazardous areas.

Thanks to the technical standard 5G, the Smart-Ex® 03 provides outstanding connectivity. The technology
enables fail-safe transmission of high data rates of up to 10 Gbit per second with a latency of less than 5
milliseconds.
