You can get a CAT telephone in various price ranges and models. And with this robust phone you have a phone that can withstand more than a regular phone can withstand. A regular telephone is intended for people who can handle their belongings with care, in an environment where this is also feasible. The phone can always be placed in your bag or in a soft jacket pocket, which protects against damage and substances. A rugged phone is made for hard workers who find themselves in an environment where caution is not the first thing on your mind. The work is always leading and the safety of the people is central. The equipment used must be safe, including the means of communication. That is why a rugged smartphone from CAT is most suitable in those environments.
Who uses a CAT phone?
The phone is suitable for hard workers or adventurers who find themselves in harsh environments or extreme areas. As a mountain climber, polar researcher, forest ranger or ultra runner, you can use a phone that is robust, but you don't want it to weigh too much. You want a phone that is practical and lasts a long time and where all functions continue to work - even after being dropped or in the presence of certain substances or moisture. The screen must be able to withstand a knock and the sound must be clearly audible, even if there are a lot of ambient sounds that can cause noise. This CAT phone is not for soft hands that work in the office, but for really heavy professions or extreme sports with calluses on their hands.
Characteristics of a CAT telephone
The telephones that you can order all have a sturdy casing. They are either made of sturdy metal that is resistant to various external influences, or they have a rubber edge around them that provides extra strength. The sturdy casing allows you to use the CAT phone in extreme temperatures, whether during heat waves or at twenty below zero. Moisture doesn't stand a chance and intense vibrations are no problem. The phone is resistant to all these external factors. It has been developed and tested for this by CAT's Research and Development department. A product that does not meet the end user's expectations is never put into production. The feedback is then processed first and the product is further developed.
Types and models of a CAT telephone
CAT gives you the classic model, with the top half as a screen and the bottom half of the phone as a key section. By default, you will find the function keys (calling, disconnecting and scrolling through the menu) in the middle of the device and the number keys at the bottom. The keys are shaped in such a way that they are pleasant to operate, even with gloves on you can operate most telephones properly. In addition to the classic model, CAT also has smartphones. Almost the entire front of the phone is your screen, which works with a touch screen. At the very bottom you will find a line with the most important function keys. On both sides of both the classic telephone model and the smartphone, you will find buttons to make the sound louder or softer.
