More about Angra dos Reis that matters for portable equipment
Angra dos Reis: geography and layout
The municipality covers 816 km2, has a tropical monsoon climate, hilly terrain and more than 300 islands, the largest being Ilha Grande, so many work locations are coastal or island sites.
Angra dos Reis: projects and investment
Construction of a third unit, Angra 3, began in 1984, was halted in 1986 and again in 2015, and in 2024 the operator Eletronuclear won a court appeal against a municipal work embargo.
Angra dos Reis: industry on the ground
The port also has shipbuilding facilities, including the Keppel Fels yard (formerly Verolme, known as BrasFELS), where large offshore units have been assembled and outfitted.
Angra dos Reis: logistics and access
A metre-gauge railway extension from the 1920s still links the port with Minas Gerais and Goias, and the steel company CSN uses the port for some exports.
The term · hazardous area
What “hazardous area” means for a smartphone
A hazardous area is a place where flammable gas, vapour or combustible dust may be present. Standards divide these into zones: Zones 0, 1 and 2 for gas and vapour, and Zones 20, 21 and 22 for dust. Zone 1 and Zone 21 are the tier where an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation, which is where the IS-04Z1 is designed to work. Anything carried in must be marked for the zone, gas group and temperature class of the area.
No certificate has been issued for the IS-04Z1 yet, so it must not be taken into a classified area until the certificate covering it exists and the site operator has accepted it.
In Angra dos Reis. The classified areas present here are crude tank storage, tanker piers and loading arms, bunker fuel barge supply, and shipyard offshore-unit fabrication. Transpetro and Seatrium respectively classify them; SAMS does not. Operators decide where a handset may go, and the answer may differ between terminal and yard.

Questions · Angra dos Reis
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy a hazardous area smartphone in Angra dos Reis today?
Not today. Until the certificates are issued the IS-04Z1 stays out of classified areas, and until launch there is nothing to purchase. You can ask for the datasheet and the certification schedule, or book a safe-area evaluation unit.
What does a hazardous area smartphone in Angra dos Reis cost?
There is no list price yet. SAMS gives indicative pre-launch pricing in writing, against a stated quantity and site, and does not commit to a lead time before certification completes.
Which hazardous areas is the IS-04Z1 designed for?
Zone 1 and Zone 21 (gas and dust) with gas group IIC and temperature class T4, subject to certification. It must not be used in a classified area before its certificate is issued and the site has accepted it.
Which areas at Angra dos Reis would use it?
Likely candidates are crude oil tank storage, tanker piers and loading arms, shipyard offshore-unit fabrication and integration, bunker fuel barge supply. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
Is intrinsically safe the same as explosion proof?
Not exactly. Explosion proof is a broad everyday term; intrinsic safety is one protection concept, which limits energy so ignition cannot occur. Flameproof (Ex d) is a different concept that contains an explosion. The IS-04Z1 is intrinsically safe by design.
Does the coastal humidity at Angra dos Reis affect phone and tablet choice?
Yes, typically. A tropical monsoon climate and sea air mean high humidity and salt, so look for sealed housings, corrosion-resistant connectors and tidy cable or charging practice. Confirm with the site safety officer what ingress protection level their permit-to-work process expects.
How do crews reach island or offshore worksites from Angra dos Reis?
Access is generally by boat across the Bay of Ilha Grande, with many of the 300-plus islands reachable only by sea, and some units are later towed to the Campos Basin. Confirm boarding and carry-on rules for powered devices with the vessel operator.
How does the tropical climate affect handsets on piers and in the yard?
Rain, humidity and salt air are routine, so check enclosure rating, seal condition and charging contacts regularly. IP68 resists water and dust but is not explosion protection. Because ingress protection and travel time both matter on this coast, keep a spare device ready.
