Power Armor 13 Rugged Smartphone | Ultra-Durable NDIS Communication Aid

Secure your connection to the world with the Power Armor 13. This is not just a smartphone; it is a piece of heavy-duty assistive technology engineered for individuals who require a device that can withstand drops, water, and rough handling. With an industry-leading battery life and military-grade durability, it ensures NDIS participants stay connected, safe, and supported without the fear of broken screens or dead batteries.

How This Rugged Device Supports NDIS Participants

Standard smartphones are fragile and often unsuited to the specific needs of many disabilities. The Power Armor 13 addresses these barriers by:

• Withstanding Drops & Impacts: For participants with motor coordination challenges (e.g., Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson’s), dyspraxia, or behavioural challenges, dropping a device is a frequent occurrence. This phone is built to survive falls that would shatter standard glass screens, reducing the long-term cost of replacements and ensuring the communication line remains open.

• Managing "Charge Anxiety" & Executive Function: For individuals with ADHD, Autism, or memory challenges, remembering to charge a phone daily can be a barrier to safety. The massive 13,200mAh battery lasts for days on a single charge, ensuring the device is powered when it's needed most for emergency calls or support coordination.

• Supporting Vocational & Spatial Goals: The built-in infrared distance measure is a practical tool for participants engaged in vocational training, gardening, or those who need support with spatial awareness and measuring their environment.

• Water & Dust Proof Reliability: For participants who may drop devices in water or require a device that can be easily sanitized (washed under a tap), the IP68/IP69K rating provides complete protection against water and dust ingress.

Key Features & Benefits

• Massive 13,200mAh Battery: Provides up to 5 days of daily use on a single charge. It also features 33W fast charging and can even be used as a power bank to charge other assistive devices (like headphones or tablets) via OTG reverse charging.

• Military-Grade Durability (IP68/IP69K): Certified to withstand dust, high-pressure water sprays, and drops onto concrete. It is built to operate in extreme temperatures, making it a reliable companion for community access.

• High-Performance for Apps: With 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage (expandable to 1TB), it smoothly runs essential Assistive Technology apps, AAC (communication) software, visual schedules, and Telehealth video calls without lag.

• Large 17.3 cm (6.81") FHD+ Display: The large, bright screen offers excellent visibility for users with visual impairments and provides a larger surface area for easier touch interaction for those with fine motor difficulties.

• Infrared Distance Measure: A unique built-in tool that allows users to measure length, area, volume, and Pythagoras instantly—valuable for employment support and independent living tasks.
