So, this is the Rugged Ruckus 2, which is similar to the old one. That is to say, it's splashproof, drop, very, very rugged, and of course, it is a Bluetooth speaker. So, it supports Bluetooth 4.0 on the new version. It has an upgraded solar panel with a higher amperage output so it can charge your devices better as well as charging its own internal battery better. It supports NFC as well as speaker phone unlike the old one. And it has improved audio quality. So here's the uh There we go. There's that USB out on the back. Whatever. We'll do B-roll of that. This right here is the Ruckus Extreme, which is pretty much that one except more of the same. It has much better quality audio compared to the regular Rugged Ruckus 2. Now, we're moving into something that I promised the guys here at the booth I would describe as ridiculous. This is the F FRX series. We've got the F FRX4 as well as the F FRX 5. They are AM and FM radios. They support general weather alerts as well as local weather alerts using SM. There are four different ways of charging these. They can charge by solar. We've come to expect that from them. They can charge via a hand crank right there. They can charge using alkaline batteries, so you can put them in right there. And finally, they can charge over USB, so you will pretty much never be stuck in the dark or out of the loop because it also supports an LE LED flashlight on the top. The main difference between the four and the five is, of course, the increased size of the LED flashlight, as well as this is the one that supports SM. The last thing that I believe I did miss just a moment ago on this one is the fact that it also charges your USB devices. So you can use the crank to keep your phone topped up in an emergency. The last one, speaking of emergencies, is the Blackout Buddy CO. So this is just like the regular Blackout Buddy. It plugs into your wall outlet and then in the event of a power loss, the flashlight automatically goes off on so that you can find it and pick it up and use it as a flashlight. It also acts as a nightlight regularly. So, if you cover up the light sensor, it'll just have a nice little glow to it.
