A rugged computing manufacturer, Getac UK, has launched what it claims the world’s toughest tablet – the Getac Z710 – equipped with Android 4.1.
Aimed at sectors such as utility, automotive, transportation, and field services, which require a portable and lightweight device (just 800g), the Z710 comes with a battery life that is the makers claim longer than its competitors giving over 10 hours of operational time.
The device includes a 1D/2D barcode reader enabling rapid data capture up to three times faster than other devices using software-based scanners.
Other key features include GPS (SiRFstarIVTM) which is accurate to 1.5 metres for precision positioning, while a high frequency RFID reader, WiFi, Bluetooth and 3.5G WWAN with both data and voice capabilities provides connectivity for data download and communication.
A seven-inch capacitive touchscreen using proprietary LumiBond technology offers an ultra-sensitive touchscreen which can be operated even while wearing gloves and a high definition 5 MP auto-focus camera lets users visually record information if required.
“Getac is committed to producing industry-leading rugged technology and the Z710 with Android 4.1, sets a new standard for tablet computing in tough environments,” says Getac UK President Peter Molyneux. “Not only do we design the tablet but we manufacture it too which allows us to listen to our customers’ requirements and respond quickly with equipment that meets market demands.”
Thanks to the Android 4.1 Operating System, the Getac Z710 offers Google Play and other Google Mobile Services. Z710 owners using Android 2.3 can upgrade to 4.1 by visiting www.getac.com
