What is rugged tablet?

Rugged tablets are designed to be more durable than regular consumer tablets. 

 They are built to withstand dust, drops, and heavy rain. 

 Rugged tablets are often used for business applications like data entry and remote machine monitoring. 

 They are also used in healthcare applications because they can withstand regular cleaning and disinfection. 

Rugged tablets are recommended to have the following features:

• Ingress Protection (IP) rating

• MIL-STD-810

• Touchscreen technology that is resistive or capacitive

• Wide range for operating and storage temperatures 

Some rugged tablets come with vehicle mounts and cases. Many have extended battery life or come with external battery docks.
