DRS Technologies has announced that the Armor X10gx rugged tablet computer has been approved for connectivity on the Sprint 3G network. This certification will enable Armor customers that utilize the integrated WWAN capabilities of the X10gx on Sprint’s network to experience the benefits of a seamless data and communication exchange.

The computer met several technical requirements to achieve certification on Sprint’s network. The fully rugged tablet was tested in key functional areas, including: antenna performance, network selection, network impact, regulatory confirmation, and data connection management.

“This certification demonstrates our commitment in offering robust rugged mobile solutions, especially given Sprint’s industryleading open approach to product development,” said Mike Sarrica, Vice President and General Manager of DRS Tactical Systems. “Strong connectivity is a critical requirement of the mobile workforce, which is among several benefits the Armor X10gx offers.”

It features a range of connectivity options that go beyond WWAN, including Bluetooth wireless, integrated GPS, and 802.11 a/g/n WiFi. With a weight of just 4.7 lbs., it is designed for those mission-critical tasks that require connectivity, mobility, ease of use and the durability to support all-weather operations.
