New Rugged Computers from Getac!

The new Getac F110 tablet and V110 rugged convertible are setting new standards with thin, light designs; large displays; and industry-leading speed, performance, and features! Both computers meet MIL-STD-810G and IP65 standards for durability and protection against dirt, dust, water, motion, vibration, temperature and other factors that would quickly damage commercial-grade convertibles and tablets. The Getac F110 and V110 also have a 3-year bumper-to-bumper warranty!

Getac F110 

Fully Rugged Tablet 

The Getac F110 is a large-screen rugged tablet that offers superior performance. Its large 11.6 inch display utilizes LumiBond technology to achieve better contrast and more crisp colors. Getac's multi-touch display technology makes the screen respond effortlessly to touch, press, and drag motions.

At 3 pounds, the F110 is among the lightest large-screen, fully rugged tablets ever built. It is powered by Intel Core i5 (1.9GHz) or i7 (2.1GHz) processors, 4GB RAM, and a 128GB solid state drive. It has built-in 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth, and optional 4G LTE Mobile broadband to keep workers connected. An optional webcam and 5MP auto-focus camera can capture images or video on the go.

For vehicle deployments, three pass-through antenna ports can be added, allowing customers to simultaneously connect high-gain GPS, WWAN, and WLAN roof-mounted antennae. The F110's optional dedicated GPS offers two times search capacity, faster location positioning, and improved accuracy over competitors' embedded GPS designs.

The dual hot-swappable batteries allow for uninterrupted power by simply "swapping" in a fresh battery without shutting down applications or the operating system. To learn more and order the Getac F110, visit http://www.groupmobile.com/product.asp/sku=6953.

Trimble Enhanced GPS and Special Offers from Group Mobile!

Trimble offers innovative products that enable mobile workers to be more efficient in extreme outdoor and industrial environments. The Juno T41, Nomad, Recon, Ranger, and Yuma 2  help users collect accurate field data and work more productively in outdoor or service-related applications.

Learn about Trimble's Enhanced GPS Capabilities offered on the Juno T41 and Yuma 2! 

Enhanced GPS for Enhanced Workflow

Accurate GPS matters for businesses with equipment in the field. Workers are collecting data on equipment that is installed in a variety of locations - ensuring it is working correctly, that it is in good condition, that it is secure.

Workers who leave the office to check on equipment are taking pictures, scanning barcodes, and setting geo-codes that will automatically alert owners if equipment is removed from its location. Managers are using GPS to ensure their workers are where they're supposed to be, altering work assignments on the fly based on changing client needs, and providing accurate location data to workers in harsh conditions, to improve workers' productivity and safety across the board.

Enhanced GPS provides a better GPS experience. Benefits include:

• 33 seconds to cold start to connect GPS
• 3 seconds to warm start to connect to GPS (if unit has been used in the last few days)
• Accuracy down to 1-2 meters
• Excellent performance under heavy canopy (trees and other objects that might block satellites)
• Adds only $650 to the list price of the Juno or Yuma 2 (compared to other GPS receivers that cost from $1000-$3000)
• Built-in GPS receiver (lightweight and small, barely changing the form factor)
• Geotagging - allowing the customer to take pictures and enabling the GPS to print the GPS information on the picture

Why use a rugged handheld for GPS?  

Consumer-grade handhelds like smartphones and tablets can provide some GPS acquisition capability, but they are fragile and their GPS abilities are very inexact. It's rare to find a consumer-grade GPS solution at a higher resolution than 30 meters, and that's a big gap when a worker is trying to find a valve switch under a snow drift, or a meter box by a busy highway. Conversely, survey-grade equipment that can pinpoint exact latitude and longitude to the centimeter is extremely expensive and more than most companies need. Besides, most survey-grade equipment is meant for single use: surveying; and a handheld computer or tablet is meant to be used for many more tasks.

Simply put, a rugged handheld computer or tablet that contains GPS capability of 2-4 meters - or even better at 1-2 meters - is going to pay for itself quickly in the field, and it's going to be demanded by more and more customers.

 

Why use Trimble GPS products?

Trimble rugged handheld computers are made by the company that knows more about GPS than any other. Trimble's GPS accuracy algorithms have been reliable workforce productivity enhancers for many years, and continue to set the industry standard.

Using Trimble mobile computing products, field workers who have to move from place to place to collect data can be fast, efficient, and accurate.
