Large concessions
Kaltim Prima holds a 90,960-hectare concession across Sangatta and Bengalon and moves coal on a 13-kilometre conveyor to its Tanjung Bara port.
Kalimantan hosts some of Indonesia's largest open-pit coal mines, including Kaltim Prima Coal at Sangatta in East Kalimantan and Adaro's Tutupan mine in South Kalimantan. Hazardous-area work centres on fuel storage, coal handling and preparation, and mine power plants. A rugged smartphone distributor in Kalimantan coal mining region would carry the IS-04Z1 to these buyers once certification completes.
Pre-launch · certification in progress · Launching Q4 2026
Short answer. Kalimantan coal mining region 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.
Status: pre-launch. IECEx, ATEX, UKEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress and no certificate has been issued; launch is planned for Q4 2026. Operator approval runs on its own timeline. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.
| Check | What to look for | IS-04Z1 today |
|---|---|---|
| Ingress protection | IP65 to IP68 sealing | IP68 design |
| Drop and shock | A stated drop height onto concrete | Specification on request |
| Explosion protection | A separate certificate and marking | In progress; not issued |
| Where it applies | Kalimantan coal mining region: Mine-site power generation, Coal loading terminals, Coal handling and preparation plants (dust, Zone 21) | Classified by the site operator |

An intrinsically safe Android smartphone designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas in Kalimantan Mining. It is pre-launch: IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.
The companies on site and the hazardous-area types a handset is likely to meet there.
Kaltim Prima holds a 90,960-hectare concession across Sangatta and Bengalon and moves coal on a 13-kilometre conveyor to its Tanjung Bara port.
Tutupan produced an estimated 36 million tonnes in 2023 and Sangatta about 41 million tonnes, so fleets and workforces are large and contractor-heavy.
State utility PLN plans additional coal-fired capacity and has begun co-firing biomass at 17 power plants, so mines and power stations are linked by long coal supply chains.
The coal industry is fragmented, with a few large producers and many small firms, so equipment rules and safety culture can vary widely between neighbouring mine sites.
Coal dust is a recognised health and handling issue in Indonesian mining, so dust control, cleaning and sealed enclosures matter for electronics used around crushers, conveyors and stockpiles.
A Domestic Market Obligation requires coal miners to allocate 25 percent of production to local use at a fixed price, which shapes how much coal is railed and barged to domestic power stations.
A rugged phone is built to survive water, dust, drops and rough handling, usually rated by an IP code and a drop specification. Ruggedness is an environmental property: it says nothing about whether a phone may be used where flammable gas or dust is present. That is decided by explosion-protection certification and marking.
The IS-04Z1 combines both: an IP68 sealed rugged build and a design for Zone 1 and Zone 21 (marking target Ex ib IIC T4). The explosion-protection certificates are in progress and none has been issued.
In Kalimantan coal mining region. Kalimantan is equatorial: hot, humid and wet, with heavy dust at haul roads and plants. IP68 helps against water and dust ingress, but it is not explosion protection. Charging routines should keep devices dry and in safe areas.
SAMS is appointing authorised distributors ahead of the Q4 2026 launch. No territory has been granted for Kalimantan coal mining region 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.
SAMS has not published a price. Any figure you are offered for an uncertified Ex phone should be treated with caution; written indicative pricing is available for a defined quantity and site.
It is designed to IP68 sealing, with glove-friendly controls. Ruggedness is not explosion protection: that depends on the certificates, which are in progress.
Likely candidates are coal handling and preparation plants (dust, zone 21), fuel and lubricant storage, mine-site power generation, coal loading terminals. 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 Kalimantan coal mining region.
Kalimantan has a tropical climate with frequent heavy rain, so devices in open-pit and barge-loading areas face water, mud and dust together. Users typically want good ingress protection and cleaning routines; check the specification against the mine's rules.
Indonesia has a Domestic Market Obligation requiring miners to allocate a share of production, 25 percent in the cited rule, to the domestic market. It affects shipping and customer mix rather than device choice, but it explains continuous coal handling at ports and power plants.
Open-pit coal sites mainly raise dust hazards at handling and preparation plants, plus gas hazards at fuel storage. The sheet does not assume methane. The operator's classification decides. Confirm with the site operator's HSE team which areas apply.
