G4S opts for rugged smartphones by Crosscall

Rugged, sustainable and more than merely a smartphone

Crosscall smartphones are already being used by the French Gendarmerie, the French National Police and French railways (SNCF). And for good reason. “Our smartphones are rugged, water- and dust-resistant, shockproof and have a long battery life. They can take a few knocks, making them the perfect smartphone for such sectors as construction, industry, transport and security”, says Frédéric Smal, Country Manager for Belgium at Crosscall. “Our smartphones meet the strictest standards for water resistance and durability, such as the MCX certification for mission-critical applications, which is a prerequisite for security agencies. We even go a step further by subjecting our devices to additional tests. Moreover, we do everything in our power to keep their ecological footprint to a minimum.”

In addition, with Crosscall smartphones you can reach your staff anytime you like. “Our smartphones combine ruggedness with optimal performance”, Frédéric Smal confirms. “The quality of the connectivity and their high degree of autonomy rank amongst our devices’ biggest assets.”

What’s more, Crosscall boasts a broad range of accessories. As a result, the smartphones can adapt to their specific work environment. The accessories are easy to connect to the devices thanks to the X-LINK connector, an intelligent magnetic technology.

Innovative technology supports generous expertise

The sum of all these qualities makes Crosscall’s offering exceptionally well-suited for security experts like G4S. In Belgium, G4S, whose customers also include Orange Belgium, has built more than a half century’s worth of experience in security solutions and services. For this, G4S implements advanced, smart technologies. Therefore, their choice for Crosscall’s innovative smartphone range is only logical. “For us the collaboration with G4S is about more than providing rugged, top-notch devices. We are also proud to contribute to people’s security”, Frédéric Smal concludes.

G4S selected two models from Crosscall’s Core series: the Core-M5, a basic model, and the Core-Z5, the high-end model. Orange Belgium has included both of these smartphones in its range.

Device as a Service

With Crosscall, Orange Belgium meets the need for rugged smartphones on the Belgian market. We work closely with Crosscall to offer users a ‘Device as a Service’: a custom solution that turns your company smartphone into a DECT device, a PC and - most importantly - an everyday work tool for your staff.

Within the scope of that same collaboration, we also co-innovate: by using company phones as, for instance, walkie-talkies or on private networks, we guarantee constant reachability for your staff, both on and outside the company premises.
