An unbreakable phone?
The unbreakable smartphone doesn't yet exist, but CROSSCALL is working on it. Our phones stand out for their high resistance, particularly appreciated by sportsmen, professionals and clumsy people, but also by people who want to keep their phone as long as possible for environmental and economic reasons. Our engineers have specifically chosen and tested resistant materials and processes to ensure the robustness of our devices.
CROSSCALL smartphones are designed towithstand external aggressions such as shocks or the elements such as dust, under normal, everyday conditions, as well as for use in hostile, more sensitive environments. The level of protection of these phones is assessed by international standards.

GETTING CLOSER TO THE UNBREAKABLE PHONE
Putting the user and his needs at the center of our product design enables us to offer unique solutions. Thinking differently has enabled Crosscall to constantly innovate, while remaining rooted in "designed to last".
With a design and prototyping office, the X-Lab, based in Aix-en-Provence, France, our terminals are designed to be close to their intended use. As a forerunner in the defense/security market, designing ever more durable, reliable and resistant products is a matter of course for us.
IP standard: protection against dust and water
A smartphone's level of resistance to water and dust is measured by an international standard: the IP(Protection Index) standard defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission. This measurement will enable you to make your choice according to the level of resistance you're looking for.
The IP standard is made up of two numbers: the first indicating the level of protection against dust (from 0 to 6) and the second specifying the level of resistance to water (from 0 to 9). The corresponding index indicates the degree of protection against the penetration of solid foreign bodies and water with harmful effects.
| Index | Dust protection | Water protection |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | No protection. | No protection. |
| 1 | Protected against solids larger than 50 mm. | Protected against vertical drops of water. |
| 2 | Protected against solids larger than 12.5 mm. | Protected against dripping water up to 15° from the vertical. |
| 3 | Protected against solids larger than 2.5 mm. | Protected against rainwater up to 60° from vertical. |
| 4 | Protected against solids larger than 1 mm. | Protected against splashing water from all directions. |
| 5 | Protected against dust and other microscopic residues. | Protected against water jets from all directions. |
| 6 | Fully protected against dust. | Protected against strong water jets from all directions. |
| 7 | Protected against the effects of temporary immersion down to 1 m for 30 min. | |
| 8 | Protected against the effects of prolonged immersion at depths of over 1 m. | |
| 9 | Protection against high-pressure, high-temperature cleaning from multiple directions. |
The IK standard: protection against shocks
IK(International Mechanical Protection) is defined by French standard NF EN 62262. It measures the level of shock resistance of telephones. The device is then tested to resist external mechanical impacts.
This index takes the form of numbers (from 0 to 10) indicating the level of protection of the equipment enclosure against shocks.
| Index | Protection level |
|---|---|
| 0 | Material not protected against impact. |
| 1 | Equipment protected against an impact energy of 0.15 Joules (shock equivalent to the fall of a 150 g mass from a height of 10 cm) |
| 2 | Equipment protected against an impact energy of 0.2 Joules (shock equivalent to the fall of a 200 g mass from a height of 10 cm) |
| 3 | Equipment protected against an impact energy of 0.35 Joules (shock equivalent to the fall of a 250 g mass from a height of 15 cm) |
| 4 | Equipment protected against an impact energy of 0.5 Joules (shock equivalent to the fall of a 350 g mass from a height of 20 cm) |
| 5 | Equipment protected against an impact energy of 0.7 Joules (shock equivalent to the fall of a 350 g mass from a height of 20 cm) |
| 6 | Equipment protected against an impact energy of 1 Joule (shock equivalent to the fall of a 250 g mass from a height of 40 cm) |
| 7 | Equipment protected against an impact energy of 2 Joules (shock equivalent to the fall of a 0.5 kg mass from a height of 40 cm) |
| 8 | Equipment protected against an impact energy of 5 Joules (shock equivalent to the fall of a 1.25 kg mass from a height of 40 cm) |
| 9 | Equipment protected against an impact energy of 10 Joules (shock equivalent to the fall of a 2.5 kg mass from a height of 40 cm) |
| 10 | Equipment protected against an impact energy of 20 Joules (shock equivalent to the fall of a 5 kg mass from a height of 40 cm) |
MIL-STD-810H military standard: protection in extreme conditions
The MIL-STD-810H military standard, created by the US Army, measures the toughness and resistance of the ruggedized phone via several laboratory tests recreating extreme, hostile and dangerous conditions that the smartphone may face in everyday use:
- Short-term thermal shock
- Long-term exposure to high and low temperatures
- Long-term exposure to severe weather (rain, salt spray, humidity, etc.)
- Exposure to movement (vibration, shock, acceleration)
- exposure to harsh weather conditions (altitude, solar radiation, etc.)
- Solvent and chemical contamination (hydroalcoholic gel, etc.)
- ...
Our phones are subjected to a number of these tests to ensure their robustness in the environments encountered by field professionals and outdoor sports enthusiasts.
The design of rugged phones
The choice of materials used in the design of ruggedized smartphones is essential to guarantee the durability of the device. Our engineers make it a point of honor to develop manufacturing techniques and opt for components that enable devices to withstand any situation (shocks, scratches...):
- Composite hull made of fiberglass-filled plastic
- Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) corners, top and bottom of the phone
- Screen with polymer foam underlay and Gorilla Glass
- Composite metal cover for electronic circuits
- Reinforced structure with magnesium inner plate and aluminum side bars

Why choose a rugged smartphone?
Durable phones are particularly useful for everyday use, at work, when traveling, or for sporting activities, depending on your habits.
Professionals working in harsh environments (instability, movement, struggle...) such as industry, construction, etc... will appreciate a rugged smartphone that won't be damaged by the first fall. On the job, in the open air, their personal equipment needs to be adapted to the risks involved. That's why a shock-resistant smartphone is essential to enable them todo their job without risk to their device.
What's more, since sustainability is at the heart of our approach, for the past 12 years we have been able to offer a 5-year warranty on all our Generation 5 terminals.
Sportsmen and women, especially those involved in extreme sports (via ferrata, freeride mountain biking, freeride skiing...) also needan unbreakable cell phone that is robust enough to withstand not only falls, but also the dust and water that may come into contact during outdoor activities.
Whether you're on the go or on the move, ultra-rugged smartphones and waterproof phones are the companions of choice. Whether you're clumsy or not, accidents can happen. Resistance to external aggression is therefore an undeniable quality when it comes to protecting your cell phone.
Environmentally conscious people who want to reduce their environmental impact will prefer an unbreakable smartphone. It's part of a genuine sustainability approach aimed at reducing the consumption of electronic products, with equipment that lasts longer over time and doesn't need to be changed regularly. It also enhances purchasing power, as the initial investment is quickly optimized, whether for personal or professional use.
