Whether in an office or on a construction jobsite, an ultra-rugged smartphone can be an invaluable tool to keep projects on track. Kyocera’s latest ruggedized DuraForce PRO 2, available with Verizon and AT&T, can help the bottom line in a variety of ways:
- Cost savings. Precision-built in Japan, DuraForce PRO 2 is among the lowest-priced rugged smartphones and its two-year manufacturers’ warranty helps ensure a low “Total Cost of Ownership,” which can be double for non-rugged devices.
- Increased productivity. A super-wide view 4k action camera helps document job-sites, and its 3240mAh Lithium-ion battery with fast charging keeps the device running on long days. A universal case enables the addition of modular accessories by VIBES Modular, including extended-use batteries, a barcode scanner and RFID reader, as well as a Spike® Smart Laser measuring tool.
- Proven design and durability. DuraForce PRO 2 features Military Standard 810G certifications to protect against shock and vibration, heavy dust, high altitudes, solar radiation, fog, vibration, extreme humidity and more. It’s also certified IP68 to be water/dust proof.
- Better communication. An advanced echo and noise cancellation system with four powerful microphones and 106dB+ speakers enhance audio for clear speakerphone calls even on the busiest jobsite. A dedicated push-to-talk button and support over Wi-Fi or LTE help ensure you’re always connected.
As the largest manufacturer catering to the rugged market, Kyocera has a long history of providing the best combination of durability, affordability and performance. DuraForce PRO 2 can help improve productivity and boost the bottom line for your construction business.
