Glacier Computer’s new T710 Rugged Tablet Computer is getting a lot of attention, and docking options are an important part of that mix.
Having a tablet computer that is completely sealed from dust and particulates and can withstand a water bombardment of 12.5 liters per minute from a nozzle is great. Having a piece of hardware that can be dropped from 6 feet and still be well within warranty coverage and specifications is even more enticing. And by itself, the T710 has plenty of mobility, features, and I/O to become the managing resource for all of your data collection activities. But what if you want to put it on a cart or a lift, or dock it in a vehicle?
The T710 has two different docking solutions with multiple applications.
