The most powerful iPad for ATEX Zone 1

product-tag-ipad-pro-11

Get Apple's most capable tablet into your Zone 1 operations. The Xshielder iPad Pro 11" is the first iPad Pro for hazardous areas, giving digital field workers a full-size premium screen, desktop-class processing power, and a Pro camera system wherever the work takes them.

Unprecedented Power

Unprecedented Power

Processing power, camera capability, battery performance, and everything else that makes the iPad Pro Apple's most capable tablet, brought into Zone 1 for the first time. Enough to run the most demanding applications where the work actually happens.
More screen to work with

More screen to work with

An 11-inch display brings full-size documents into the field, so there is no longer a reason to print them. Read a complete P&ID as it was drawn instead of one section at a time, and keep more than one application in view to work across them at once.
Built for Long-Term Value

Built for Long-Term Value

Six to seven years of iPadOS upgrades and close to nine years of security updates, plus a replaceable cover that lets you take out the iPad for trade-in or resale when it's time for an upgrade. No forced replacement cycles, and value recovered at the end of service life.
