An ideal solution for rescue missions in and around oceanic and coastal environments, the B300 is MIL-STD-810F 509.4 standard compliant. Salt fog protected, sealed I/O ports eliminate the possibility of salt erosion to the internal components and a special coating is adopted to prevent the casing from corrosion effects.
The B300 is also the first fully rugged notebook to include the latest development in Sunlight Readable Technology. Featuring a high brightness Sunlight Readable panel of 1200cd/msq, together with the ability to switch the B300's display into 'Night Vision' mode, this rugged GETAC notebook is designed to meet the strenuous everyday demands of law enforcement personnel who require the flexibility to be able to use their notebooks under bright ambient lighting conditions and extremely bright outdoor environments as well as at night for improved safety.
GETAC V100
The V100 is a fully-rugged, ultra-light hybrid Notebook/Tablet PC which can withstand some of the most extreme conditions in almost any environment. Its 180° rotatable screen, which instantly transforms the V100 from a notebook into a Tablet PC, together with optional docking solution makes the V100 an ideal solution for in and out of vehicle use. For emergency services personnel whose jobs require a display that can be easily read outdoors, GETAC's industry leading Sunlight Readable Technology of 1200cd/msq is the perfect solution. The V100 complies with both MIL-STD 810F and IP54 standards making it capable of withstanding heavy rain and spillages, and immune to damage from airborne dust and debris.
