At Kyocera, we don't just build phones. We build devices that empower businesses to do more. To work through the rain, the mud, and the accidents that most phones can't survive. DuraForce is the newest, hardworking member of our rugged smartphone family.
DuraForce is equipped with enhanced Push-to-Talk and helps teams communicate instantly. DuraForce is designed with a large tactile side button that makes Push-to-Talk* calls easy for your workforce – even while wearing gloves. Extra-loud speaker and external push-to-talk remote speaker microphone headset ensures clear communications. So staying connected and productive throughout your day is simple and easy.
DuraForce is certified IP68 dustproof and waterproof*. So whether your workday involves a downpour or dust storm, you can be confident your smartphone is anything but finished.
DuraForce is designed to be rugged with certified MIL-STD 810G protection against dust, shock, vibration, and certified IP68 waterproof protection. It's also equipped with enhanced internal security and VPN capabilities. Durability plus security means protection – from the inside out.
When the weather or your job demands gloves, DuraForce simply out works other phones. Glove & Wet Touchscreen Operation* is designed to allow the user to talk, text or open an app when the screen is wet or while wearing gloves up to 3mm thick. The feature is always activated; no special setting to turn on. Plus dedicated hard keys for navigation and speakerphone offer quick access with gloved hands or large fingers. So when it comes to working, even in the rain or cold weather, DuraForce fits like a glove.
Let's make this loud and clear: For conversations on the worksite, nothing works like DuraForce's Smart Sonic Receiver technology. Touch the phone to your head (or your ear protection) and the Smart Sonic Receiver transmits sounds as vibrations directly to your eardrum – bypassing background noise and enabling call clarity.
DuraForce also has loud, dual front speakers, activated by a dedicated speaker key located on the top of the phone. Peak volume is as loud as a jackhammer from 6.5 feet away.
Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) is a holistic business strategy for enhancing the security and productivity of mobile devices used by employees. Kyocera's enterprise-ready mobile devices support EMM with a range of features, including device management, application management, information management and productivity tools.
Built-in security and encryption to keep your most sensitive documents protected. Includes customizable password requirements and encryption of files to ensure that important data is protected. For specific workplace restrictions, features such as camera, microphone, messaging, voice and data transmissions via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC can be disabled.
This certification ensures businesses can confidently select, deploy and manage Android devices and services that meet elevated enterprise requirements.
Remotely monitor and manage employee devices to make sure they are compliant with company use and security policies. Gives the administrator the ability to locate, lock, and wipe devices remotely.
OEMConfig is a small application installed on to the device by EMMs and used for exposing API’s to the EMM administrator via managed application configuration. Kyocera’s OEMConfig application offers extended capabilities on all EMMs supporting Android Enterprise configuration providing features above and beyond standard Android Enterprise restrictions. With our OEMConfig, new features or restrictions are available on Kyocera devices without waiting for EMM vendor updates.
