What Crosscall does

Crosscall, founded in 2009 in Aix-en-Provence by Cyril Vidal, is a French privately-held manufacturer of rugged, waterproof smartphones, tablets, and accessories. The company's product portfolio spans two main lines — the CORE range (CORE-M6, CORE-P6, CORE-X5, CORE-Z5, CORE-S5, plus the CORE-T5 tablet) targeted at field professionals and critical-communications operators, and the STELLAR range (STELLAR-M6 and STELLAR-X5s, including Chamonix-Mont-Blanc co-branded editions) targeted at premium outdoor and demanding prosumer users. All devices are IP68/IP69K waterproof and MIL-STD-810H certified, with -20°C to +60°C operating ranges, glove- and wet-touch operation, and removable or high-capacity batteries delivering up to ~58 hours of Push-to-Talk use. A proprietary X-LINK magnetic charging/mounting ecosystem ties devices to a portfolio of accessories (X-POWER, X-COMM, X-CAR PRO, X-BIKE, X-CHEST Tactical, X-SCAN, X-DOCK, X-STICK, X-COMMAND, X-BLOCKER), and an in-house X-LAB test facility performs 300+ validation tests.

The company earns revenue primarily through hardware sales of rugged phones, tablets, and accessories, complemented by a refurbished device program and professional services delivered via channel partners. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer e-commerce on crosscall.com (with FLOA installment financing), enterprise B2B sales to governments, defense and industrial operators, and channel partnerships including AT&T/FirstNet (U.S.), Tech Mahindra (North America, oil & gas/manufacturing/telecom), Quality One Wireless (U.S. lifecycle support), and Radiocoms (U.K. public safety). Pricing is one-time/perpetual, ranging from €99.90 entry-level smartphones to €699.90 premium rugged flagships, with multi-year contracts on quote-based enterprise SKUs.

In FY2024, Crosscall generated €114 million in revenue on 4.5 million units sold, supported a user base of 350,000+ European public-safety MCX subscribers, and supplied 200,000 terminals to the French National Police and Gendarmerie, plus 21,500 devices to SNCF agents and 110,000 annual-intervention deployments to SDIS 95 emergency services. The company employs 176 people (March 2024), holds 100% French capital, and has been selected for the French Tech 120 program in three out of four years with EcoVadis top-1% recognition. International headquarters support include operations in Orlando (via Quality One Wireless) and Hong Kong (finance/admin).
