The Cat S48c is designed with durability at its core. Its heavy-duty rugged credentials including IP68 water and dust proof, MIL SPEC 810G and Non-incendive Class I, Division 2 ensure it can withstand drops, dust, vibration, extreme temperatures, and some hazardous work environments. It can be submerged in up to four feet of water for 35 minutes, and its 13 MP camera can take underwater pictures whether on site, in the great outdoors, or on vacation.
The company says the rugged Cat S48c offers better value for money, particularly for Business and Enterprise customers that employ individuals in rugged conditions or who do remote field work, by reducing additional repair costs and extending the useful life of the phone. The Cat S48c is also protected with Cat phone's comprehensive two-year warranty that replaces screen damage within the warranty period free of charge.
"We are seeing an increase in the demand for rugged devices from those customers who need a smartphone that will withstand the toughest conditions and Verizon is committed to providing the most durable devices available," said James Hammond, Director of Business Devices at Verizon. "Cat is well known for delivering best-in-class products designed for the rigors of the most challenging environments and we're excited to include the Cat S48c on the Verizon network."
Cat phones are built from the ground up for individuals who work in demanding environments across a range of industries or who take part in recreational activities where their mobile phone is routinely exposed to stressful conditions.
"Verizon, well known for providing the nation's most reliable network, wanted a superior rugged device to offer its customers," said Peter Stephens, CEO of Bullitt, global mobile licensee for Caterpillar. "The Cat S48c proved to be the perfect device for Verizon customers, as its unmatched durability promises reliability under most any condition while Verizon's network ensures connectivity is never an issue."
