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(1920x1200) 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

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.

MIL-STD-810G standards for shock and vibration, offers IP65 rating,
