Bullit Group, Maker Of Cat Smartphones, Bankrupt

Bullit Group is a manufacturer that mainly marketed rugged smartphones for years. Bullit Group launched products under brand names such as Caterpillar, Motorola and even Land Rover. However, the manufacturer is now Bankrupt, putting an end to the Cat series.

Last year, Bullit Group launched the Cat S75 and the Motorola Defy, among others. Both products can connect to the satellite network, so you can be reached even in the most remote places. However, Bullit Group employees now announce on LinkedIn that they have been fired and that bankruptcy has been filed. It is unclear how this will affect people who have subscribed to the company’s satellite service and whether software updates for the Cat smartphones will continue to be rolled out.

We expect that Bullit Group will soon inform its customers about the bankruptcy and also let them know what consequences this has for the manufacturer’s products and services.

Bullit Group bankrupt: rugged Cat smartphones disappear

Bullit Group, the company that came into the spotlight in recent years with the Cat smartphones, is bankrupt. There were plans to sell on the hardware division, but they came to nothing.

Bullit Group bankrupt: Cat smartphones and Motorola Defy

You may not have heard of the company, but Bullit Group is bankrupt. This company licensed the Caterpillar brand name and released several smartphones under that name in recent years. For example, the Cat S75 was launched last year, a powerful smartphone that allowed you to send text messages via a satellite connection for the first time. The robust Motorola Defy was also released some time ago by Bullit Group.

Several employees have announced via LinkedIn that they have been fired and bankruptcy has also been filed. There was talk of selling off the hardware division so that Bullit Group itself could further focus on communications via satellites, but that did not happen.

What this means for people who have subscribed to the specific service remains to be seen. As mentioned, you can send text messages with the Cat S75 via a satellite connection, but you have to pay for this monthly.

Few providers of strong devices

With the disappearance of Bullit Group, a well-known player has disappeared in the already small smartphone market. There are a few other parties that focus on such devices, for example Crosscall and RugGear, but they have not released anything recently. You can also look at Chinese brands such as Oukitel, but the support is substandard.

Furthermore, there are better-known manufacturers who sometimes release a robust smartphone, including Samsung, which recently introduced the Xcover 7. Finally, you can look at Gigaset, which, in addition to regular smartphones, also occasionally releases a more powerful phone.
