BrasFELS covers 52 hectares with dry docks and gantry cranes of 660 and 2,000 tonnes, and has worked on FPSO topside modules.
Angra dos Reis is a municipality in the south of Rio de Janeiro state on Ilha Grande bay. 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. An industrial smartphone distributor in Angra dos Reis would carry the IS-04Z1 to these buyers once certification completes.
Pre-launch · certification in progress · Launching Q4 2026
Short answer. Angra dos Reis has no appointed SAMS distributor yet: the IS-04Z1 is pre-launch (certification in progress, no certificate issued, launch planned for Q4 2026), and distributor applications are open.
For the record, no certificate exists for the IS-04Z1 today. The programme is under way ahead of a Q4 2026 launch. Operator approval runs on its own timeline. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.
| Check | What to look for | IS-04Z1 today |
|---|---|---|
| Ingress protection | IP rating for dust and water | IP68 design |
| Fleet management | EMM and MDM support | Android 16 with EMM and MDM |
| Explosion protection | A separate certificate and marking | In progress; not issued |

An intrinsically safe Android smartphone designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas in Angra dos Reis. It is pre-launch: IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.
A short profile of the site and the kinds of classified area that matter for portable equipment.
BrasFELS covers 52 hectares with dry docks and gantry cranes of 660 and 2,000 tonnes, and has worked on FPSO topside modules.
The area has a tropical monsoon climate and is reached by the Rio-Santos highway, so ingress protection and travel time both matter.
Brazil's Angra I and Angra II nuclear units are located near the town and employ about 3,000 people, with a further 10,000 indirect jobs in Rio de Janeiro state.
The port of Angra dos Reis includes an oil terminal, and the TEBIG facility used by Petrobras in the Bay of Ilha Grande moves large quantities of crude oil, which makes it one of the busiest ports in Brazil.
The semisubmersible platform P-56 was integrated at BrasFELS: about 54,658 tonnes, living quarters for 200 people, 79 risers and a power plant of 100 MW, built with a 72.9 percent domestic content index for its topside.
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.
“Industrial” describes a phone built for plant conditions: sealed, drop-resistant and manageable at fleet scale through Android Enterprise. It does not by itself mean the phone may enter a classified area. Only a device with a valid explosion-protection certificate and marking may do that.
The IS-04Z1 is designed to be both an industrial Android phone (IP68, 4,000 mAh battery, 50 MP camera, Android 16 with EMM and MDM support) and an intrinsically safe one. Its explosion-protection certificates are in progress and have not been issued.
In Angra dos Reis. Yard and terminal fleets mix permanent staff with contractors, so enrolling handsets in an EMM or MDM system lets each company manage its own. The Rio-Santos highway is the main access, so spare devices and chargers are best planned in advance. Charging would be done in a safe area.
SAMS is appointing authorised distributors ahead of the Q4 2026 launch. No territory has been granted for Angra dos Reis yet and applications are reviewed company by company. Because a certified Ex device cannot be opened by an ordinary phone workshop without invalidating its certificate, SAMS looks for partners who can provide competent technical support and after-sales service locally.
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.
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.
Yes by design: IP68 sealing, a 4,000 mAh battery, a 50 MP camera and Android 16 with EMM and MDM support. The explosion-protection certificates are separate and still in progress.
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.
Apply through the distributor page with your company details and the territory you cover. SAMS reviews applications company by company and has not yet granted a territory for Angra dos Reis.
Often only within the shipyard's own rules. Classified areas on hulls, tanks and process modules are usually managed with permits and gas testing, and devices may need to be certified for the relevant zone. Confirm the zone, gas group and temperature class with the yard before bringing equipment.
Typically the crude oil terminal, tanker berths and offshore-unit outfitting at the shipyard, where flammable gas or vapour can be present. The nuclear plant is controlled separately by its operator, so confirm device rules and zone classification with each site owner.
Ex equipment in Brazil goes through Inmetro-accredited certification bodies, so a purchaser should expect to ask for that route. The IS-04Z1 is not yet certified. Confirm documentation requirements with the site operator and its HSE team before ordering.
