Regardless of whether a weapon system is wired or wireless, the biggest challenge facing any Military market is obtaining proper connection between weapons systems. Since reliability is a major factor under the toughest environment, only a rugged notebook such as the A790 can meet the challenge. The A790 can be modified to be equipped with special interface cards in its expansion bay allowing it to receive and transmit data between systems.       Whenever a storm hits, service technicians in the Utility market are constantly faced with difficult challenges, needing reliable equipment and accurate information. A light weight rugged notebook with WWAN access, mounted and anchored in-vehicle for driver safety, device security, and user ergonomics can help technicians in these situations to receive necessary data to complete their jobs effectively. Powerful wireless access through WWAN replaces the need for situations where WLAN becomes inaccessible. A rugged notebook mounted on a vehicle dock can continue to receive critical information through the WWAN. With GPS, technicians are brought quickly to the proper location. When the notebook needs to be taken out of the vehicle, WWAN, sunlight readable screen and shock proof work together to protect data stored in the system. Field Service personnel have the task of collecting and checking customer data continuously. They rely on automatic data collection to check customer data quickly. For this a lightweight, rugged notebook is needed. In order to receive and transmit data to the information center, seamless access to the network is needed, regardless of whether through WLAN or WWAN. While docked or mounted in-vehicle, it can be connected to an RFID receiver, GPS antenna and be equipped with WWAN solution to access the office database, checking data and returning feedback.                 The Government market has the largest demand for rugged notebooks within the rugged product segment. Applications differ from service to service due to various missions. Ruggedness and flexibility are key features required by most end users.         Public Safety includes Law Enforcement, Emergency Rescue, Firefighting and Security services that deal with urgent and vital tasks requiring communication, ruggedness and wireless versatility. Since these services deploy GETAC's rugged notebooks with their fleet of vehicles, mounting and docking of these units require anchoring to the vehicles for safety, security and user ergonomics. When the notebook needs to be taken out of the vehicle, WWAN, sunlight readable screen and shock proof work together to relay information within the service system.         Heavy Construction, Automotive and Electronic industries, to name a few, are all included in this market. Regardless of whether it is outdoor construction or indoor production line, ruggedness and good communications are critical for the task at hand because command and control cannot be compromised by adverse environments. A GETAC rugged notebook linked to the production line in the automotive industry, for example, reads critical information such as temperature conditions, robotic functionalities and summary data.         To transport and distribute merchandise from place to place, shippers need a rugged notebook system with a versatile input interface and tracking ability. This requires a reliable onboard computer vehicle dock system. A rugged notebook is docked or mounted in-vehicle and linked to a data input device such as a barcode scanner or magnetic card reader to receive merchandise information and passed along via WWAN to the office database. The notebook can also be connected to a vehicle GPS antenna to receive signal to track the route.         GETAC products are ideal for the Field Sales Force. Wireless communication (WWAN/WLAN /WPAN) efficiently connects sales to the company's ERP system to check inventory (via 3G or 3.5G connection) and to print out invoices or receipts (through Bluetooth). WiFi in the office allows access through the intranet for general office computing. GETAC notebook computers provide excellent display qualities, especially under outdoor sunlight, so that the field sales force can successfully demonstrate their product's quality. GETAC products are rugged, reliable, and can resist any damage caused by high/low temperature, water, dust, drop or vibration, thus contributing to a favorable Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).         As emergency medical care increases, resources remain limited. Health care administrators need a portable system for point-of-care reporting and computer aided dispatching. To meet this requirement a reliable rugged notebook is needed that is water and shock proof with excellent communication ability to link with other instruments. Ideally, the size and weight should be small and light enough to be placed within the whole system. GETAC meets the needs of today's Emergency Medical Service providers with the robust design of its entire rugged product line. Additionally, its light-weight systems, uncompromising in their robustness, make it easy to be transported anywhere. In order to keep personal information confidential, optional security mechanisms such as TPM, Fingerprint Identification, and SmartCard Reader are available options. These systems have the ability to connect to multi-networks such as WLAN, Ethernet, and 3G/3.5G, allowing user-friendly interfacing and communications with or without wire, and wireless communication from local to wide open area. Reliability being an important factor, a rugged notebook allows rapid entry of patient data which may be passed on quickly to definitive care providers. Its metallic shell and IP54 compliancy allows it to be decontaminated quickly in the event of contact with blood or other body fluids. In terms of cost and efficiency, GETAC is the best choice for today's Public Health market.         Professional Service includes professional consultants for Construction, Finance and Insurance Services. In Finance and Insurance, consultants need a lightweight notebook that is water and shock proof to protect customer data.
