ARMOR rugged tablet computers achieve Verizon certification

August 01-15, 2011

DRS Technologies, Inc., a Finmeccanica Company, announced that the ARMOR X10gx and ARMOR X7 rugged tablet computers have endured rigorous testing and have been certified for connectivity on the Verizon Wireless network. This accomplishment ensures that ARMOR customers that utilise the integrated WWAN capabilities of the ARMOR X10gx and X7 will have an optimal data and communication experience with Verizon Wireless.

Both fully-rugged tablets—with integrated Gobi 2000 WWAN mobile broadband radio to keep the user connected on multiple wireless networks—achieved certification under Verizon Wireless Open development programme. This programme is designed to allow and encourage the development community to create new products, applications and services, and bring these to the marketplace on the Verizon Wireless network.

“This qualification is another example of our commitment to deliver innovative and complete rugged mobile solutions to ARMOR customers,” commented Mike Sarrica, Vice President and General Manager for DRS Tactical Systems. “Mobile workers need strong connectivity, and the ARMOR X10gx and X7 both deliver that while enhancing the efficiency and productivity of an increasingly mobile workforce.”

The ARMOR™ X10gx and X7 feature a range of connectivity options that go beyond WWAN, including Bluetooth® wireless, integrated GPS, and 802.11 a/g/n WiFi. They are specificallydesigned for those mission-critical tasks that require connectivity, mobility, ease of use and the durability to support all-weather operations. The ARMOR™ X10gx and X7 are certified to MILSTD-810G for extremes in temperature, vibration, shock and drops.

With a weight of just 4.7 lbs, the ARMOR X10gx carries an ingress protection (IP) rating of 67, which means it is fully protected against dust and can withstand the effects of immersion in water to depths up to three feet.
