Getac Technology Corporation announced the next-generation semi-rugged S410, which that combines a host of advanced technologies with Getac’s durability and the Getac Select program’s turnkey hardware, software, accessories, and professional support solutions for specific end-user tasks.
Offering fast performance powered by the latest Intel 11th Generation Core i5/i7 processors (i3 CPU optional), PCIe NVMe SSD as default, and shock, drop, and vibration resistant SSD (solid state drive), the S410 is designed to provide glitch and hitch-free 24/7 service to utilities, military, automotive, manufacturing, law enforcement, construction, mining, and other industries coping with arduous environments.
The S410 provides fast connectivity technology via Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 module’s support for the new IEEE 802.11ax standard, empowering streaming of high-resolution video, fewer dropped connections, and faster connections at maximum distances from a wireless router. For cabled connection’s, Intel’s Thunderbolt 4 features improved minimum performance requirements capabilities and USB4 specification compliance for fast transference of large amounts of data.
Users requiring virtually continuous runtime are accommodated by installing a trio of batteries in the S410’s multi-configurable bays.
Pre-configured options are designed to make the S410 suited to meet the demands of utility field service, law enforcement, industrial manufacturing, and automotive industry professionals, whether in-vehicle or on the factory floor.
With the S410, service technicians in the field can obtain schematics, generate purchase orders, check inventory, and even video chat with a remote expert to quickly solve problems thanks to built-in WLAN/BT/WWAN/GPS. To meet different field workers’ needs to connect both next gen and ex-gen devices and legacy infrastructure, multiple I/O configurations are provided.
The S410 features a backlit keyboard and larger touchpad help minimize input errors, even in the dark, while in-vehicle docking is supported via diverse mounting solutions with each option designed and engineered specifically for the S410. A level of data protection is also provided through US Federal CJIS compliance multi-factor authentication options, including Windows Hello webcam, RFID reader, fingerprint scanner, and smart card reader.
The S410 supports a wide array of inputs, including stylus pen, finger, or even a gloved finger, making it suitable for manufacturing environments such as shop floors and production lines. The portable design, featuring a solid carrying handle, extends mobility for production managers. The S410 accommodates up to three batteries that are hot-swappable for multiple shifts. The S410’s configuration options support a variety of new and legacy I/O ports for industrial computing operations and factory automation workloads.
Compatible with the latest automotive diagnostic software, the S410 features wired and wireless connectivity, including the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201, which delivers real-time access to on-board diagnostics and high-speed vehicle tests. The S410 is also suitable for automotive research and development, and engineering professionals who require fast and accurate data collection, as well as vehicle testing and verification in a wide range of environments, both on and off the road.
“The S410 is a statement product,” said Joe Martin, director, product solutions division, Getac USA. “It’s a statement of how much performance and durability can be engineered into a slim, under five-pound package. It’s a statement about how much productivity and efficiency an advanced semi-rugged laptop can bring to even the most physically and environmentally challenging jobsite. Most of all, it’s a statement about Getac’s leadership in semi-rugged design, manufacturing, and performance.”
“We use proprietary layered and bonded LumiBond 2.0 display screens with Getac sunlight readable technology,” Martin said. “We have integrated capacitive fingerprint touch technology, an extra-cost option on many semi-ruggeds, as a standard part of our multi-faceted security strategy. There’s also the Getac Select program, which stands alone in encouraging customer and factory interaction.”
Getac Select is driven by Getac customers and the challenges they face. The goal is to produce specifically tailored solutions combining rugged and semi-rugged computing devices, software, accessories, and professional services. Customers can deploy a Getac Select solution safe in the knowledge that they have the support of a partner who understands their needs and can innovate with them every step of the way, the company says.
Getac Select program solutions initially available for the S410 include the Getac Driving Safety Utility and Getac Device Monitoring System (GDMS).
Intel Iris Xe graphics are integrated in the S410, designed to create a solution for specialized operations such as 3D graphics rendering, architectural drawings, and CAD applications for professionals who demand clarity and detail in a rugged package.
GDMS proactively reduces the risk of downtime by tracking and monitoring deployed devices, spotting potential issues before they negatively impact in the field productivity. GDMS helps maintain operational efficiency through the monitoring of battery performance, storage issues, BSoD events, forced shutdown issues, device utilization, firmware levels, and device location. GDMS data is centrally hosted and securely stored on a Microsoft Azure Cloud Server.
Getac Driving Safety Utility is a solution aimed at reducing driver distraction. Safeguarding moving commercial vehicles and forklifts by blanking the vehicle-mounted computer screen and locking the keyboard, in compliance with regional driving legislation.
Getac Driving Safety Utility and Getac Device Monitoring System (GDMS) are individual options for the S410 under the Getac Select program.
