When you’re working in mining, agriculture, or any environment where equipment faces dust, mud, and regular high-pressure washdowns, you need technology that’s built to survive. That’s why Zetifi antennas are now certified to IP69K — the highest international standard for protection against dust and water ingress. This means our antennas can handle the toughest cleaning routines and the harshest conditions, giving you confidence that your connectivity will keep working, no matter what.
We back this up with a 5-year warranty, so you know your investment is protected for the long haul.
What is IP69K and Why Does It Matter?
IP69K is the gold standard for ingress protection. The “IP” rating system (Ingress Protection) uses two numbers: the first for solids like dust, the second for liquids like water. IP69K means the device is completely dust-tight and can withstand high-pressure, high-temperature water jets from every angle. For our customers, this translates to antennas that won’t fail after a mine site washdown, a muddy harvest, or a stormy day in the field.
What Does Certification Mean for You?
Our IP69K certification isn’t just a label — it’s independent proof from Compliance Engineering, a respected Australian test lab, that Zetifi antennas meet the highest standards. You can view the full test report and see photos of the testing process right here in this blog.
How Do We Achieve IP69K Protection?
Delivering this level of protection starts with great design and careful engineering. Every Zetifi antenna is built with precision-moulded housings and high-quality gaskets to keep out dust and water. The real secret is our use of potting compounds to fully seal the internal electronics. Potting fills every void inside the enclosure, creating a solid barrier that blocks dust, water, and steam — even under extreme pressure and temperature.
This approach means there are no paths for ingress, even during the most aggressive cleaning procedures. Our design team works closely with manufacturing to ensure every unit meets these standards, not just the ones sent for testing.
The Testing Process
Our antennas were tested by Compliance Engineering in Victoria, Australia, following international standards (AS 60529:2004 and ISO 20653:2013). The process included:
- Probe ingress tests to confirm no openings larger than 1 mm
- Dust chamber tests with talcum powder under vacuum
- High-pressure steam jet cleaning with 80°C water at up to 100 bar, from four angles, on a rotating turntable
After each test, the antenna was opened and inspected for any signs of dust or water ingress. The result: zero penetration, full compliance.

We believe in transparency. That’s why we’re sharing the full report and photos of the testing process. These show exactly how our antennas were challenged and how they performed.
Built for Your Environment — Guaranteed
IP69K certification gives you confidence that Zetifi antennas are ready for the harshest environments — whether it’s a mine site washdown, a muddy paddock, or a dusty outback road. Combined with our 5-year warranty, it’s another step in our commitment to delivering products that combine innovative design with uncompromising durability.
