With RugGear the iPhone Goes PTT

RugGear® is now presenting a high-quality all-in-one case for Apple iPhone PTT users at MWC 2019: The RG-C1. Even with the screen locked, users can use push-to-talk with a press of the dedicated button thanks to certifications by leading PTT providers. There are additional features integrated into this Bluetooth connected iPhone case such as the 105 dB loudspeaker (with volume buttons), the 3.5 mm headphone jack with screw hole. No matter if construction manager or architect - there are professions in which an iPhone has to endure a lot - RG-C1 also protects your iPhone from 1.5 m drops.

The RG-C1 provides a seamless PTT experience on the iPhone

The RG-C1 is a Bluetooth-connected iPhone case with a PTT (push-to-talk) button specifically designed for people working in harsh and noisy environments such as construction sites. It protects the iPhone and enables easy team contact via the push-to-talk feature. This ensures that you are always only one push of a button away from successful team communication. 

True “walkie-talkie” experience - just press, nothing else
The RG-C1 is the first intelligent case to have PTT at the push of a button without the need to wake up the iPhone (with screen locked or off). 

Pre-approved for leading solution providers

RG-C1 is certified by Motorola Kodiak and Zello. This makes for streamlined system integration thus minimizing the time taken to get RG-C1 deployed to your workforce. 

Crystal clear and powerful sound

The RG-C1 features an extremely loud speaker (>105 dB) designed specifically for use on noisy construction sites and offers better performance than the iPhone's built-in speaker. RugGear® experts have also thought about communication in motion: a standard 3.5mm PTT headset can be easily plugged in and screwed to the case using the headphone jack with screw hole. This provides the freedom of easy communication even in active situations. 

Long lasting battery

With a 2300 mAh long-life battery, the RG-C1 offers the user all-day use, with a standby time of 547 h and a usage time of 28 h. 

More than just MIL standard

RG-C1 gives the iPhone excellent drop stability. At a drop height of 1.5 m, the iPhone remains fully functional, which goes beyond the test requirements of MIL-STD-810G. 

The RG-C1 is equipped with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 4.1 technology, which makes it easy to connect to the iPhone.
