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.
The optional Mobile mount a dock gives you the option of putting the tablet wherever you need it. You can dock it in a vehicle, on a forklift, a 4-wheeler, or a golf cart. Fixed mount the system to a wall, at a point of service, or on a production line. If and when you need it more mobile, just remove it and use it like a tablet.
While mounted, the dock provides 4 USB ports, a VGA out, RJ45, twin RS232 ports, and two antenna connections for GPS or other applications. There’s a key lock to keep the T710 secured in the docking station until you need to remove it.
The T710 also comes with an optional desktop dock. This docking station provides 2 additional USB 2.0 ports , HDMI, VGA, and a LAN port, with a DC-jack, and Kensington lock. Combining these accessories would allow you to use the T710 as a desktop computer, a tablet computer, as a mobile mount unit in a vehicle, or in multiple fixed or mobile mount applications, wherever and whenever you needed it.
The T710 is just one of several 7″, 8″, and 10″ rugged tablet solutions available from Glacier Computer to provide you with all the mobility and “rugged” you require for your data delivery and collection needs.
