Tools for the Workplace of Tomorrow: Samsung Showcases Updates to its Rugged Mobile Range at Multi-city Launch Events

Following the recent launch of the Galaxy XCover7 & Galaxy Tab Active5, Samsung travelled the country, providing key partners with an immersive experience that highlighted the resilience and capabilities of its Rugged Range.

Over the past month, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd hosted five launch events, showcasing its latest additions to the Rugged Range lineup across multiple capital cities. Designed specifically for demanding environments and B2B applications, the Galaxy XCover7 and Galaxy Tab Active5 empower workforces to maximise productivity with a seamless, versatile user experience. As 89% of businesses surveyed in the Asia-Pacific agree mobile devices are a key contributor to strong business performance,[1] it’s clear why access to efficient and practice devices is so important when it comes to empowering your employees.

As a first-of-its-kind national B2B experience, Samsung was able to bring in-person immersive events to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, making it easier for key partners across the country to learn about the range and get hands-on. With immersive product experiences and customer testimonials, B2B customers were able to see firsthand, the real benefits of Samsung rugged devices and the ways they can help innovate their work place.

Rob Taylor, Head of B2B Division, Mobile eXperience at Samsung Australia said, “Our research supports the growing interest of enterprise devices and as ways of working evolve, employers need access to durable, optimised and secure devices to maximise productivity in their workforce. These events allow partners to see how these features are brought to life on Galaxy rugged devices first-hand.”

Stephen Mummery, Regional Sales Director, Advanced Mobile IT (AMIT) said, “The Samsung range, and in particular the Tab Active series, have been a cornerstone offering for AMIT customers seeking an in vehicle ruggedised tablet solution. The Samsung Tab Active Range has allowed AMIT customers to refresh the tablet without having to change other infrastructure such as docks and power solutions due to its almost exact same form factor as the previous model. The Samsung XCover is probably the most affordable ruggedised handset available today. The programmable quick launch key allows for fast application use in the field.”

In total, the launch events saw an attendance of over 300 partners and customers, across construction, mining, manufacturing, and government sectors.
