A rugged phone is a smartphone specially designed to withstand the extreme conditions encountered on construction sites. These devices are critical because studies show that over 75% of workers have already damaged their standard phones in the field.
Rugged phones offer:
• Reinforced protection against falls on concrete
• Resistance to dust and water (IP68 certification)
• Reliable 4G/5G connectivity even under tough conditions
• Optimized autonomy for long working days
A rugged phone is distinguished by its integral design oriented towards robustness, unlike a standard smartphone simply protected by a case. The main differences are:
• Reinforced structure from the design stage to absorb impacts
• IP68/IP69 certification guaranteeing total watertightness
• Complies with MIL-STD-810G military standards
• Specially treated screen that remains tactile with gloves
• Reinforced electronic components
• High capacity battery, often removable
The choice of a rugged phone must be made according to several essential criteria:
• Minimum IP68 certification for protection against water and dust
• Compliance with military standards for shock resistance
• Adapted screen size (5 to 6.5 inches)
• Sufficient autonomy for a day of work
• 4G/5G connectivity as required
• Dual SIM for better network coverage
• Programmable buttons for emergencies
• High precision GPS
• Compatible with professional applications
A rugged phone contributes to team safety in several ways:
• Connectivity ensured even in difficult conditions
• Long-lasting battery to avoid communication interruptions
• Possible integration of Lone Worker Protection applications with automatic fall detection
• Programmable emergency buttons
• Precise geolocation
The battery life of rugged phones is optimized for long working days:
• Specially designed high-capacity batteries
• Average length of use of a full day
• Possibility of removable batteries for quick replacement
• Fast charging stations available as accessories
• Processors and displays optimized for energy consumption
Rugged phones offer superior protection thanks to:
Protection against water and dust:
• Minimum IP68 certification
• Resistance to prolonged immersion
• Total dust protection
Impact resistance:
• Reinforced impact-absorbing structure
• Rigorous testing according to military standards
• Screen protection against scratches
• Resistance to extreme temperatures
Yes, most rugged phones are designed for use with protective equipment:
• Highly sensitive touch screens compatible with gloves
• Programmable physical buttons for essential functions
• Interface adapted to difficult working conditions
• Can be used with wet or dirty fingers
Remember to validate this point with your unbreakable telephone supplier before ordering.
The investment in a rugged phone is justified by several factors:
1. Cost reduction:
• Fewer device replacements
• Decrease in repairs
• Extended lifespan
2. Productivity gains:
• Continuity of communication
• Reduced downtime
• Increased team efficiency
3. Security benefits:
• Accident prevention
• Fast emergency response
• Regulatory compliance
• Protection of lone workers
