RugGear RG170

The RugGear RG170 is a rugged 4G keypad phone with a 2.4-inch display, built to withstand water, dust and drops. A customisable side button is designed for push-to-talk, alongside a dedicated SOS key and a replaceable battery.

The RugGear RG170 phone is an ultra-rugged 4G keypad phone for professionals who work in tough and noisy conditions. A freely assignable button gives instant push-to-talk over cellular, so workers can reach their team without unlocking a screen. In addition, it is compact and light, so it sits comfortably in the hand and fits easily in a pocket.
