Bullitt Group, a leading manufacturer of ruggedized smartphones, has embedded FLIR’s Lepton thermal micro-camera into its new Cat S61 phone. Cat Phones’ most advanced ruggedized Android smartphone, the Cat S61 joins the ‘Thermal by FLIR’ partner program, which was created to fuel thermal innovation.
Unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2018 in Barcelona, Spain, the Cat S61 builds on the industry-leading capabilities of the first edition model: Cat S60. Equipped with FLIR Lepton, the industry’s smallest, lightest and lowest cost thermal imaging camera core, this smartphone enables users to see in total darkness and visualize heat that is invisible to the naked eye. The new model includes a variety of technical improvements that enable expanded capabilities across industries:
- Increased temperature range of minus 20 to 400 degrees Celsius, opening up a new set of use cases, such as vehicle diagnostics and asphalt monitoring
- Upgraded visible high-definition (HD) camera and thermal image processing to provide improved MSX image detail and quality
- Updated MyFLIR applications including interactive tutorials, tips and community forums for sharing the latest discoveries in thermal imaging
- Live streaming, allowing users to share their own thermal imagery via Facebook Live to showcase their experiences, discuss use cases, and offer solutions
Bullitt Group is one of multiple partners involved with the new Thermal by FLIR program, created to support original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and product innovators interested in using the FLIR thermal imaging sensors to provide the World’s Sixth Sense. The program ensures that original equipment manufacturers and entrepreneurs can carry the Thermal by FLIR brand and receive additional product development and marketing support from FLIR to build and market their respective products. Additional Thermal by FLIR partners include Casio, Panasonic, ARSENZ and TinkerForge.
The Cat S61 will be showcased at the FLIR booth at Mobile World Congress being held from Feb 26 – March 01.
