There are many levels of <Ex> or FM rating. First yo uneed to find out the
zone category and work from there. There are many products that are
available with <Ex> and FM markings, but none of the wireless phones (dect)
I found were approved for "Hot" zones. I found no "WiFi" fones with IS
ratings of any kind.
