Getac: Fully Rugged laptop and tablet

The demand for mobile devices, laptop such as tablet, can operate stably in harsh environments is getting stronger: Getac is among the few companies to offer a complete range of products for these scenarios.

In these contexts of use, it is necessary to ensure robustness, in combination with a construction that takes into account the peculiarities of the environment in which you find yourself. Protection from water and dust, as well as the ability to function properly in ambient temperatures to extremes, are fundamental prerequisites.

Getac is one of the few manufacturers specializing in the development of such solutions, which certainly do not stand for it compact and sleek design but represent one of the few solutions that can operate efficiently in such critical situations.

A very specific target audience opens up space to Getac in developing systems that come with unique features on the market. An example is the model X500, Fully Rugged solution that accommodates an internal PCI card or a PCI Express slot thanks to be integrated.

It may seem a contradiction to use cards designed for a desktop system in a notebook, but there are areas of business application in which the communication interface is based only on cards in PCI or PCI Express form factor.

This system can also be configured as a real storage servers transportable, thanks to an expansion base which integrates an internal package of hard disk drives. The Microsoft Windows Server 2012 rules the pack of 5 hard drives configured in a chain Raid 0, 1, or 5 depending on your preference. In this configuration, X500 becomes a real server from the field, configurable in a few minutes in any environment and ready to provide data to the other terminals connected to this.

No shortage of proposal’s tablet, type of product in the field of high-protection devices is becoming increasingly important in terms of numbers exceeding the number of notebooks sold each year. Getac offers RX10H and RX10, models with 10.1-inch diagonal display and Microsoft Windows operating system. The two models differ only for the intended use of the reference, that the resolution is that specific RX10H the world of health care thanks to the antimicrobial surface.

Getac operates a very simple classification, but precisely for this reason that clear and effective, among its products: distinguished between Fully Rugged and Semi Rugged. Do not change the parameters with reference to the ability to support falls and impacts from certain heights and varying water resistance, which is certified only for solutions Fully Rugged. We specify as water resistance does not involve immersion in operation, a feature that goes beyond those which are the specifications of Fully Rugged.

In addition to the overall robustness and water tightness, where solutions Rugged Fully Rugged and are distinguished from traditional mobile devices is care in the technical characteristics of the screen: thanks to the extremely high maximum brightness it ensures excellent readability even in outdoor full light.

Getac has also implemented, for touch devices, the technology Lumibond thanks to which you can use the touch interface also using gloves and rain. The screen automatically varies the intensity of the response of the touch function in the light of the environmental conditions, so as to avoid, for example, that the rain falling ports to perceive every single drop as a pulse touch or, on the contrary, that the use of thick gloves ports to have no pulse response touch.

The target markets for the solutions Rugged and Fully Rugged are numerous: by the military to industry, from public safety to the transport sector and logistics, to the Oil and Gas Field Services until these are the automotive areas where a high strength is a key added value.

These are not proposals for all users, but where you want to ensure a high strength combined with the guarantee of a long-term operation of the selection of notebook and tablet that offer this type of construction and features accessory is actually required.
