The Xplore iX104C4 Rugged Mobile Tablet PC

The rugged tablet PCs from Xplore Technologies are able to hold up in even the most demanding conditions. Our customers have used these rugged tablets in coal mines, on heavy construction sites, on forklifts, at the north pole…you name it, and they can take a beating and keep on ticking (with apologies to Timex). The rubber bumpers that surround these tablet PCs are icing on the cake when combined with the tough magnesium casing of the unit itself. The iX104C4 and iX104C4 Lite are "ingress protection rated" at IP-65. This basically means that nothing from the outside is getting inside the tablet to cause problems. The only point of weakness, as is the case with most rugged computers, is the display screen itself. We have had a few come back for screen replacement after the computer was dropped and the display screen came in direct contact with a hard and sharp object. But even this calamity is somewhat mitigated by the hardened glass that Xplore uses in their rugged tablets.

Marine & Aviation Computers

In the marine industry, fully-rugged computers are protected from salt spray and against corrosion due to salt air and humidity since they are sealed against the elements. Rugged laptops and tablet pcs are also essential in the aviation industry for maintenance workers and engineers because they are able to store the aircraft schematics in a computer that is able to withstand the elements, extreme temperatures and most importantly accidental drops. Pilots also use rugged laptops and tablets in flight bag applications.

Some of the Group Mobile recommendations for Marine and Aviation environments include the General Dynamics-Itronix Duo-Touch II Rugged Tablet PC – a fully rugged tablet PC that combines the functionality of a touchscreen computer with a digitizer computer into one display, the Panasonic H1 Field - with superior ergonomics, a 10.4" sunlight-viewable screen and sealed all-weather rugged design, and the Getac A790 – this is the most rugged laptop in our line and it is also the "most configurable" rugged computer on the market.
