Varlink sends in the Seals

Specialist distributor steps into rugged smartphone market with latest vendor partnership

Specialist distributor Varlink is looking for rugged smartphone market domination with its latest vendor partner signing.

The York-based distributor has inked a deal with Seals to supply its TS3 and VR7 ultra-rugged devices to its reseller base.

The TS3 runs on Android 2.3.6 OS and the VR7 runs on a Java-based OS and includes a two megapixel waterproof camera.

Mike Pullon, chief executive of Varlink, said: "The Seals devices not only provide us with another IP68 ultra-rugged option for our resellers, but also take us a step further into the smartphone market, differentiating our products from our competitors.

"Furthermore, the Seals devices are positioned at a competitive price and we look forward to offering our resellers an alternative option which doesn't compete with our current products and manufacturers."
