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.
Communicate faster with Kodiak-powered Push-to-talk to get coverage over 4G, LTE, and Wi-Fi. DuraForce has a large, tactile side button, extra-loud speaker and support for external remote speaker microphones with headsets to make it easy to use even with gloved hands. Because we know nothing is more critical than staying in touch and on schedule.
DuraForce is certified waterproof* and dustproof. So whether your workday ends in a downpour or a dust storm, you can be confident your smartphone is anything but finished.
The Kyocera DuraForce is a go-anywhere, do-anything 4G LTE Android smartphone that's certified Military Standard 810G durable, IP68 dustproof and waterproof, and comes with a standard 2 year warranty.
Jobsites are punishing. You need a smartphone that's up for the challenge. With DuraForce, you carry a device that's been battle tested. With Military Standard 810G protection against dust, shock, vibration, extreme temperatures, blowing rain, low pressure, solar radiation, salt fog, humidity and water immersion, even tough jobs are no match.
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.
