OVERVIEW

EXO is the world’s only direct-to-cloud connected portable area monitor capable of detecting:

  • Up to eight gases simultaneously.
  • Gamma radiation at three times the distance compared to competitors’ devices, so responders will know radiation is present sooner and from further away, reducing the risk of harmful exposure.

This results in the most robust protection and early hazard detection at your worksites, and real-time data streaming to the cloud for unparalleled situational awareness and rapid incident response. And it’s all in one rugged, drop-and-go device, with up to 100 days of battery life.
