Getac next-generation B360 and B360 Pro fully rugged laptops

Getac has announced its next-generation B360 and B360 Pro fully rugged laptops, offering professionals across industries including public safety, utilities and defence two powerful yet versatile solutions to overcome the daily challenges they face.

Public safety organisations can customise their B360 devices with a range of specific software, hardware, accessory and service options to fully optimise their situational awareness capabilities. Software options such as Getac Geolocation can be specified for more accurate location information, while the addition of multiple optional device authentication layers, such as password, RFID reader and a fingerprint reader, helps enable seamless device access while maintaining data security at all times. Additional accessories, including a secure vehicle dock and high-capacity batteries, further enhance device usability in the field, while keeping downtime to a minimum.

The B360 is also suitable for mobile GIS, surveying and mapping tasks in remote locations and/or adverse weather conditions, due to its MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461G and IP66 certifications, as well as 1.8 m drop resistance. An optional secure carry bag aids portability, while software such as Getac Virtual GPS Utility offers a fast way to manage up to five GPS applications simultaneously. If even more accuracy is required, the device can be equipped with an optional high-accuracy GPS module and antenna.

In the defence industry, commanders rely on Getac rugged devices for real-time intelligence, military data integration and secure communications to drive mission-critical decisions and counter threats. The B360 Pro features extended battery life for uninterrupted operation in the field, while an optional secure vehicle dock can quickly turn any vehicle into a mobile command station. The device can also be customised to include two PCMCIA readers if needed (one is included as standard), further increasing device functionality without the need for external adapters.
