Crosscall rugged smartphones and tablets

Crosscall is a French brand that specializes in the design and engineering of rugged mobile technology intended for use in extreme environments. Founded in 2009 by Cyril Vidal, the company carved out a niche by focusing on waterproof, resistant, and durable mobile phones for outdoor enthusiasts and professionals. Unlike many mainstream electronics brands, Crosscall prioritizes longevity and hardware resilience, offering long-term warranties to combat planned obsolescence.

While the research, design, and technical engineering are based in Aix-en-Provence, France, the manufacturing of the devices is primarily conducted in China through selected manufacturing partners. The brand remains under the leadership of its founder, maintaining its French heritage and European strategic focus while competing in the global telecommunications market as a major player in the durable tech segment.
