Kyocera Corporation today announced that it will provide its TORQUE® G02 ultra-rugged #smartphone as the official #smartphone for #hondaracing Corporation's Monster Energy #honda Team, which will participate in the Dakar Rally 2017 to be held in January 2017 in Paraguay, Argentina and Bolivia. "TORQUE G02 smartphones provided by #kyocera have enhanced, robust specifications which allow trouble-free use in the increasingly harsh environments of the Dakar Rally, such as the stage in Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia," said Taichi #honda, the team's Project Leader, "The toughness and reliability of Kyocera's ultra-rugged mobile devices have made them indispensable in our #racing activities and have made #kyocera a key strategic partner for this race." This is the second consecutive year that #kyocera will provide the ultra-rugged devices to the Monster Energy #honda Team. The TORQUE G02 Android™ #smartphone is certified to the United States Military Standard 810G (MIL-STD-810G) in 19 categories and is highly-rated for its durable performance in severe environments. It will be utilized by the Monster Energy #honda Team for voice and data communications during the race, including vital telemetry data. For example, engine-performance data including speeds and cooling temperatures will be collected from sensors via Bluetooth® and sent to the team's headquarters, where it will be used to manage machine maintenance and team strategies. The TORQUE G02 is world's first seawater-resistant #smartphone and is capable of withstanding thirty minutes at depths of up to 1.5 metres. #kyocera have created a TORQUE G02 model especially for the Monster Energy #honda Team featuring the HRC colours and with the keys in the team's usual shade of red
