CORE / FIELD TERMINAL
CORE
A phone-style mobile terminal. Focused on carry-along communication, maps and positioning, with low power and grip as the starting points of the design.
Positioning
A communication and positioning tool
you carry with you.
CORE starts from what people need at disaster sites and in the field. It brings messaging, maps and GNSS positioning together in one phone-style terminal, so information moves with you.
The design weighs energy allocation, getting back to work quickly and how it feels in the hand. Splitting the work between low-power always-on control and main computing is the heart of this architecture.

FAQ
About CORE
Can I buy or pre-order it now?
CORE is still in design and development. Pricing, release timing and pre-order plans have not been announced.
Are battery life and protection rating confirmed?
Not yet. Long battery life and reliability are design targets. Whole-device power consumption, cell capacity, mechanical design and environmental testing are still to be completed.
When will there be a working unit?
The first batch of 3 first-revision engineering samples is expected to be completed in March 2027, for whole-device power, range and environmental testing.
Is the concept image the final design?
The concept image shows the product's form. Actual dimensions, buttons, antennas and enclosure structure are still to be designed and verified.
