AUSTIN, Texas—August 23, 2016— Xplore Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: XPLR) today marks the start of its 20-year anniversary celebration. Since 1996, Xplore has exclusively engineered and delivered the most complete line of purpose-built rugged tablet technologies on Earth. According to VDC Research, out of all of the mobile computer original equipment manufacturers (OEM) operating today, Xplore is the only OEM to have focused on rugged tablets – and only rugged tablets – for 20 years. This market focus is what has made Xplore a trusted authority in the rugged tablet space.
In Greek mythology, theSirenswere dangerous yet beautiful creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. In Tablet Mythology the iPad revolution lured warehouse managers and IT specialists toward an emerging rogues gallery of “rugged” tablets as a ‘more affordable’ next-gen productivity solution. But lifts by their very nature produce a set of operating conditions that tablets are not designed to withstand…for very long.
Honeywell did us all a favor by articulating this problem in detail. The sub-heading of their piece says it all. “Why Tablets and Purpose Built Forklift-Mounted Computers Are Not Interchangeable.“
Just a quick note to inform everyone that the Glacier Blog is back. We were down for a few months but everything appears to have been corrected.
Please check back for updates on new product announcements. We are also giving away a rugged Android tablet (pictured). Just follow us on Twitter by July 4th for your chance to win.
Glacier Computer announces the release of a new Rugged Android Tablet for the Industrial Marketplace.
Fusion 7 – Rugged Android Tablet
The Fusion 7 Rugged Android Tablet extends the Glacier Computer product line of rugged industrial PCs, rugged tablets, portable hand-held devices, and fixed mounted data collection computers. Glacier industrial computers are typically used in harsh industrial environments where a standard PC cannot survive. The Fusion 7 offers enterprise customers the additional advantages of the Android OS while remaining sealed and ruggedized.
The Fusion 7 is compact, light, and feature-rich. It enables businesses and their mobile users to add efficiencies throughout the operation while providing a capital asset with a significantly extended useful life and a superior ROI.
The Fusion 7 combines the advanced power management and memory management capabilities of Android enabling more than 1 million applications to run on the typically rugged Glacier device.
“The industrial marketplace is finally ready to accept the changes needed to embrace the value of the Android platform,” says Ron D’Ambrosio, President of Glacier Computer. “We have had a rugged Android computer for the last couple of years, but didn’t get enough feedback from our industrial customers to release the product. It is still somewhat early, but with the input of much larger market influences in the industry, customers seem to be more amenable to at least talking about using the Android OS as a solution.”
To further enhance the usefulness, and ease some of the pain of adapting to the new OS, Glacier is collaborating with complementary business partners including The Allen Group.
The Allen Group (Fairfield County, CT) provides application development and consultative expertise to assist companies seeking fulfillment for mobile content delivery objectives , corporate digital branding initiatives, and development workflow requirements. While The Allen Group enhances the mobile user’s capabilities, the Fusion 7 allows those mobile users to work in very harsh and/or ultra-clean environments.

T707 RUGGED – CONFIGURABLE – JUST SMALLER
New Milford, CT – September 1, 2013 – Glacier Computer, a leading provider of rugged industrial computing solutions, announces the addition of the T707 to an already powerful line up of rugged tablet options. The T707 combines enhanced rugged specs, configurability, and better value into a very dependable package. Glaciers “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” warranty program makes the T707 an ideal protégé for any portable application.
“If you were at all concerned about the long range durability of your iPad, the T707 would give you some comfort.”
The industrial marketplace lacks an iconic tablet that satisfies most applications so having one place to go with many options is a good place to start your search. A closet full of choices, combined with Glacier’s ability to customize, equals maximum customer satisfaction for all your rugged tablet needs. “Industrial customers are always challenged with finding the perfect data collection tool for their application. Most products can get them to about 75% satisfaction. With Glacier in the mix, you don’t have to settle for less than perfect.”
The T707 rugged tablet is completely sealed from dust and particulates and can withstand a water bombardment of 12.5 liters per minute from a nozzle. Dropping the unit, even from 6 feet, is well within warranty coverage and specifications. It has a 7.0” touch-screen display that can be used outdoors and all of the processing power and memory requirements necessary for most applications. The T707 also has plenty of I/O to become the managing resource for all of your data collection activities. Equipped with SOTI and Stay-linked you can be in complete control of your T707 fleet. Windows 7 remains the standard OS for the T707.
The T707, combined with our other 7-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch units, offers Glacier customers some of the best options in an expanding line of rugged tablets. And our partners, rugged computing expertise, and commitment to customer service remain our core values.
