Cat® S60 Announced As World's First Smartphone With Integrated Thermal Camera
READING, England, February 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
FLIR's Lepton Thermal Microcamera Module Embedded into Cat Phone's Rugged SmartphoneÂ
Cat(R) phones [http://www.catphones.com/en-us ] today announced the launch of its new
flagship product, the Cat S60; the world's first smartphone with an integrated thermal
camera, and the world's most waterproof smartphone. The device will be unveiled at Mobile
World Congress 2016, in Barcelona.
The Cat S60 includes an embedded thermal camera from FLIR, the global leader in
thermal imaging technology, allowing Cat phone users to be the first in the world to use
their smartphones for a multitude of use cases, including: detecting heat loss around
windows and doors; spotting moisture and missing insulation; identifying over-heating
electrical appliances and circuitry; and seeing in complete darkness.
The thermal camera visualizes heat that is invisible to the naked eye, highlighting
temperature contrasts. It can pick up heat and measure surface temperatures from a
distance of up to 50 to 100 feet, and see through obscurants such as smoke, enabling a
huge range of use cases for building professionals, utility workers, outdoor sports
enthusiasts, and emergency first responders to name but a few.
The Cat S60 is also waterproof to depths of up to 5 meters for one hour, allowing it
to be used as an underwater camera, pushing the boundaries of mobile technology, and how
and where it's used.
"To stand out from the crowd in today's smartphone market requires true innovation and
we are proud to partner with FLIR to announce what is truly a world's first," said Peter
Stephens, CEO Bullitt Group, global mobile device licensee for Caterpillar. "The Cat S60
represents a milestone for smartphones. We are excited for thermal technology to be in the
hands of Cat phones customers and to discover the myriad of daily time and efficiency use
cases it will present for them."
"We are delighted to work on the latest Cat phone with Bullitt Group, to integrate our
thermal camera into their proven, industrialized smartphone to create a truly innovative
and groundbreaking mobile product," said Andy Teich, President and CEO of FLIR. "The CAT
S60 presents mobile users around the world with new capabilities - a 'sixth sense'
experience that only thermal imaging can offer."
The Cat S60 is also an extremely tough and robust, world class rugged smartphone. It
exceeds military spec, is built to withstand drops onto concrete from up to 1.8 meters,
and it's dustproof as well as waterproof. Its versatile, super-bright display can be
viewed in bright sunlight, and the touchscreen can be controlled with wet fingers or while
wearing gloves. It is also protected by the latest Corning(R) Gorilla(R) Glass 4.
Cat S60 key features:Â
- Strengthened Die Cast Frame
- Drop proof to 1.8m, MIL Spec 810G
- Super bright display (typical 540 nits), Gorilla Glass 4
- 4.7" HD capacitive multi-touch with auto wet finger & glove support
