Pre-loaded apps
Cat S42 H+ devices come with a limited number of pre-loaded apps. These include the Google mobile services app suite, which includes valuable apps such as Google Maps with free global turn-by-turn navigation, Gmail with in-built Microsoft Exchange and Office 365 support, Duo for video calling, and Keep for note-taking.
Cat phones also come pre-loaded with OfficeSuite from MobiSystems, so out of the box your customers can create, open, edit and share Microsoft Office-compatible documents and files.
OnGuard Solo auto-installed
Cat smartphones come with OnGuard Solo auto-installed. This sophisticated lone worker safety solution offers free use of tools to help notify colleagues or other emergency contacts if your customers are in danger or fail to respond to a check-in prompt. Premium features include automated ‘man-down’ fall detection and access to supervisory dashboards for managing the safety of teams of workers.
Relevant app discovery
Each Cat smartphone includes the Google Play store that contains a safe and ever-growing catalogue of applications to make your customer’s device work for them.
To aid better app discovery, Cat phones also offer a unique Toolbox app catalogue that acts as an alternative storefront for Google Play, presenting a curated selection of high-quality apps and content that are relevant to our users in an alternative, easy-to-navigate categorised listing.
Programmable key and Push-T0-Talk (PTT)
The Cat S42 H+ and other Cat devices in the range include a yellow programmable physical button on the side of the device. This can be set to perform a simple action such as waking the device or turning on the flashlight on a long press or double-tap. Or, it can be used to open a regularly used application on the device – perfect for providing quick access to business apps.
Alternatively, it can be set to PTT mode, and through various PTT solutions, configured to function as a walkie-talkie button. During initial set up, Cat phones users are offered Zello as an optional install. Zello offers a high-quality, free and easy-to-use, push-to-talk service, with enterprise features also available. Other PTT solutions are available from Google Play and from solution providers directly.
