Uventure Run & ToughPhone – Stronger Together!

RISE TO EVERY CHALLENGE – stronger together!

Two of Northamptonshire’s most enterprising independent businesses, Uventure Run and ToughPhone, have joined forces to create a unique mobile challenge in which the UK’s toughest mobile phone range will be put to the ultimate test in one of the UK’s toughest outdoor event series. This is the start of a collaboration between these two companies who will work together in promoting the outdoor rugged adventure lifestyle.

For the opening event of its 2019 series, Kettering based Uventure Run will be putting The DEFENDER BEAST – IP68 rugged Android smartphone – through its paces. The first of a three-event series, comprising of a 12k, 6k and Junior event, will prove a stern challenge for the fully waterproof, dustproof and military tough qualities of the handset; one that Toughphone firmly believes it is more than equal to. Director of Toughphone Stephen Westley explains:

“We built The Beast, (as with the other mobile phones and tablets in our Defender range), to withstand the toughest environments, be it the outdoors or the workplace and still deliver on performance. Running the latest Android OS and incorporating the highest specifications expected of a smartphone, including toughened Gorilla Glass screens, the range is proving popular with professionals working in tough environments and outdoor pursuits enthusiasts who are fed up being without their phones due to broken screens, water damage or cracked cases”.

At the 6th April 2019 event, the Uventure team will test The Defender Beast on a course packed with over 40 obstacles incorporating water, mud, crawling and climbing challenges, they will be making use of its push to talk capabilities to communicate with each other, ensuring the smooth running of the event and the safety of all participants. As explained by Pete Lewis, one of the Uventure Directors:

“Our events are incredible fun, but a tremendous challenge. Our team are completely ‘hands-on’ and involved in assisting the runners where necessary, always looking-out for their safety. From previous runs we know the the Beast and runners will be exposed to, a good water soaking, mud baths and a few spills along the way, so The Beast will be tested to its limits. Good communication is essential to ensure we offer a well organised and safe event for staff and participants; we are confident that the Defender Beast will serve us well in this”.

There also be the opportunity for every contestant to be entered into a draw to win one of the Defender Toughphones.

Rugged phones are for life

Rugged phones are for life, not just for Christmas

There’s a lot of talk this year of the prospect of a cold winter. It seems like only yesterday we were baking in 30-degree heat and watching it “come home” from the comfort of a sunny beer garden.

As our attention moves away from Halloween and fireworks, we find ourselves faced with the run up to the festive period, but before we can settle down with a cheese board in front of the queen’s speech we need to adjust to the seasonal change – de-icing your car, firing up the heating (and hoping it works) and buying a new winter jacket! And with the added stresses on the country’s infrastructure we become even more reliant on our smartphones to be there for us when we need them the most. Have you ever noticed that if you are outside on a cold day your phones battery depletes much quicker? This is down to the fact that the chemical reaction initiated when the negative and positive terminals are connected in a cold battery is slowed down. The battery will run down quicker and not be able to generate enough current to keep up with demand. Businesses who issue smartphones to help keep the workforce organised are reliant on the battery life lasting the day so It’s far from ideal when you are trying to make that critical phone call at the end of the shift.

The Defender Beast and Defender TAB 2.0 come with exceptionally large batteries, 6150 & 10,000 mAh respectively and along with the intelligent chipsets you can be sure the devices will last outside just as long as you can. Not to mention all our devices are tested to Mil Spec 810G and IP68 standards so come rain sun or snow you can be sure the Defender range is the right choice for you and your business.
