Panasonic Connect has announced the latest iterations of its TOUGHBOOK G2 and 33 detachable rugged tablets. The 10.1-inch G2mk2 and 12-inch 33mk3 deliver market-leading ruggedness, battery life, customisation, connectivity and performance that provide the modern mobile worker with a balanced solution, regardless of the task, application or environment.
► Latest tablets set a new rugged standard with ‘Alder Lake’ power, security, and modularity
► Ready to connect to 5G
Both devices feature market-leading performance, enhanced connectivity and increased modularity to adapt to different mobile worker requirements, making use of 12th-generation Intel Core (Alder Lake) i5 processors, with Intel vPro technology, to run the most demanding applications on Windows 11 Pro. For those requiring unmatched performance for the most demanding applications, Intel Core i7 options deliver an additional boost.
They also feature Intel Iris Xe Graphics technology and this is of particular significance in the emergency services sector, where the TOUGHBOOK 33 is used as a mobile data terminal (MDT) for fire services, such as Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service. It enables officers to access detailed mapping and point of interest data in the vehicle, where precise and real-time updates are key. When detached from the vehicle’s dock, data such as hydrant location, building plans, risk cards, operating guidance, home fire safety checks, and detailed vehicle information can be accessed simultaneously when at an incident.
The latest TOUGHBOOK G2 is the most customisable rugged tablet available, with Panasonic taking the modular design to new levels, alongside increased security. The rear expansion area can now be fitted with a fingerprint reader, ideal for users such as in defence that need to authenticate secure access to sensitive or mission critical data.
Furthermore, the G2mk2 Top Expansion Area – already customisable with five peripherals – is now compatible with a MicroSD Memory Card Slot. This enables personnel to quickly access and transfer important data between devices when in the field.
Panasonic has seen an increased demand in 5G support and the G2mk2 is ready to connect to private networks straight out of the box. This enables sectors such as transport and logistics, manufacturing, and the emergency services, to take advantage of a dedicated, fully customised private 5G network, delivering ultra-low latency, faster response times, and enhanced data transfer and communication for mobile workers.
Both the G2mk2 and 33mk3 utilise the powerful, best-in-class Thunderbolt connectivity standard, enabling high-bandwidth data, power, and video transfers. The devices also include the latest Wi-Fi (Intel® Wireless 6E AX211) that selects the optimum bandwidth to save battery power.
The military-grade ruggedness and IP65-rated water and dust capabilities of the G2mk2 and 33mk3 allow users to continue working in any environment, without any fear of drops, knocks, vibrations, and extreme temperatures affecting productivity.
