Introduction to Getac Tablets
Getac is globally recognized for manufacturing some of the most durable, high-performance rugged devices available today. With over 30 years of experience in rugged computing, Getac designs tablets specifically for use in:
- Defense and military
- Law enforcement
- Utilities and energy
- Field service and logistics
- Oil and gas
- Public safety and emergency services
- Manufacturing and automation
Their rugged tablets are built from the ground up to deliver reliable computing power in the field — rain, sand, dust, drops, shocks, and extreme heat or cold are no match for a Getac device.
What Makes a Tablet Rugged?
Rugged tablets are engineered to endure environmental and mechanical stress that would damage or destroy conventional tablets. Key certifications and standards include:
- MIL-STD-810H: U.S. military standard for ruggedness (shock, vibration, temperature, humidity, etc.)
- IP Ratings (IP65/IP66/IP67): Protection from dust and water
- ATEX & IECEx: Safe for use in explosive environments (available in specific models)
- Drop Tested: Survives multiple drops from heights of 1.2m to 1.8m
Getac tablets not only meet these standards — they often exceed them.
