High Resolution WUXGA tablets have a Best-in-Class display that can be used while wearing gloves
January 27, 2015, Taipei, Taiwan – RuggON, the rugged mobile specialist, announces the Rextorm series of Rugged Tablets. With an ultra bright 1000 Nit optically-bonded display, high speed 802.11ac connectivity, hot swappable dual battery design, and capacitive glove touch capability, these 10.1” fully ruggedized tablets take cues from the consumer tablet market but are 100% ready for heavy duty use.
Best Ever Viewing Experience
Sunlight readability is critical for working outdoors. Rextorm is the first-to-market 10.1” fully rugged tablet featuring a 1000 Nit brightness sunlight readable display. The high resolution WUXGA(1920×1200) LCD touch screen is bonded directly to the outer Gorilla Glass layer, eliminating air gaps and reflections, and enhancing viewability in direct sunlight.
Beyond Ordinary Touch
Rextorm tablets can ignore unintended touches including the palm of the hand as well as water mist and rain drops, while ensuring correct data and command input. The Rextorm’s capacitive touch display of the Rextorm series supports glove touch detection letting workers use the tablet without taking their gloves off. RuggON Touch-Lock allows users to prevent unintended touches. For extra accurate touchscreen interactions, not only a 2mm hard tip capacitive stylus, but precision digitizer input is also available.
A Perfect Link
With the latest communication technology including GNSS Positioning (GPS/GLONASS/Beidou), 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 4.0 and optional 4G LTE, mobile workers can experience precise positioning, faster processing, broader coverage and more stable data transfer even around buildings or trees. For in-vehicle usage, a dual pass through port allows users to connect via vehicle dock for improved GNSS, WLAN, or WWAN reception. Standard I/O ports include USB 3.0, 2.0, RS232, RJ45, Micro-HDMI, and Micro-SD.
No Downtime
A hot-swappable battery design means batteries can be switched in and out without ever turning off the device. For extended field usage, a high capacity battery is available that provides up to 12 hours of battery life for the PM-521 and PX-501 Windows tablets or up to 22 hours for the PA-501 Android tablet. For extreme power savings, ECO mode enabled by RuggON’s DashON app can extend battery life even further.
SnapON Extensibility
RuggON Tablets are extendible with SnapON modules such as Magnetic Stripe Readers, Smartcard Readers, NFC and more to enhance data collection functionality and product capability.
