IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Getac Inc., a leading manufacturer of rugged computers, is introducing the T800 fully rugged tablet. At less than 9x6 inches in size and boasting a brilliant 8.1-inch display, the T800 is the ideal compact rugged tablet for today’s mobile workforce. Combining the latest in processor and wireless technology with an ultra-rugged exterior and Getac’s unique SnapBack add-on accessories, the Getac T800 is the perfect fit for use in extreme working environments including those found in the utilities, military, field service, public safety and transportation sectors.

“Interest in rugged tablets has never been higher,” said Rowina Lee, president of Getac. “We designed the new compact T800 rugged tablet with the mobile worker in mind, combining every bit of know-how we’ve gained building rugged computers over the past 25 years. We’re excited to get it into the hands of our customers.”
8.1 inch Display
Size matters
when it comes to computer screens. The T800 rugged tablet features an
8.1-inch sunlight-readable display—34 percent larger screen area than
other 7-inch tablets—for everyone who needs the larger screen size.
Compare them yourself, and you’ll understand why size matters.
Thin and Light
From the start,
the T800 was engineered as a compact rugged tablet to be both thin and
light. The new tablet is just over 0.9 inches thick, less than 9x6
inches in height and width, weighs just 2.1 pounds, and it is designed
to easily fit in one hand.
LumiBond™ Display Technology
The
T800 uses Getac’s revolutionary LumiBond technology to achieve a display
that is more readable, offers better contrast, and gives crisper colors
than any other rugged tablet display does. By bonding the display glass
with the touch panel and LCD, Getac created a single pane that is more
durable and improves readability.
SnapBack Add-ons
Unique to the
T800 is Getac’s SnapBack add-ons. Created as an extension to the T800,
the SnapBack add-ons make it quick and easy to add an extended battery
or SmartCard reader, RFID or Magnetic Strip reader functions. And they
easily snap right on and off—no tools necessary.
Quad-Core Performance
Inside
the T800, Getac packed an incredible amount of power and advanced
technology. Built with the latest quad-core Intel N3530 2.16 GHz
processor (up to 2.58 GHz), the T800 can remain running at near full
speed when other tablets’ processors would throttle back performance to
avoid overheating.
Lasting Power
The T800 rugged
tablet boasts up to 8 hours of battery life on a single charge.
Additionally, you can have SnapBack battery add-ons at the ready for
potentially infinite, uninterrupted battery life. This allows you to
keep working without ever shutting down your apps or the Windows OS.
4G LTE, Tri-Pass-Through WiFi & GPS
Getac
packed the new T800 rugged tablet with the latest technologies to help
you get your job done. Designed to be used in the field, your T800 can
be configured with 4G LTE cellular data with a tunable 8-band antenna
capable of supporting a wide array of LTE bands.* Every T800 includes
the latest 802.11ac WiFi for data-transfer speeds up to three times
faster than 802.11n products have. The T800’s dedicated GPS offers two
times the search capacity, faster location positioning and improved
accuracy over competitors’ embedded GPS designs. For vehicle
deployments, 4G LTE configured T800’s are configured with triple
pass-through antenna ports allowing you to simultaneously connect
high-gain GPS, WWAN and WLAN roof-mounted antennas.
Built-to-Survive
The new T800
rugged tablet was built to survive. In fact, the T800 was engineered to
survive drops from as high as 6 feet, shocks, spills, vibration, dust,
liquid and more. The T800 has been independently tested and certified to
MIL-STD 810G and IP65. As with all Getac fully rugged laptop and
tablets, the T800 comes standard with Getac’s bumper-to-bumper warranty
that protects the tablet against accidental acts and exposure to
environmental conditions.**

new T800 rugged tablet will be available for ordering beginning June 2
with the first units shipping in July. 4G LTE network certified units
will be shipping in September. The T800 has an MSRP starting at $1,599
