Rugged & Field Devices
We help public-sector and industrial teams select and deploy rugged devices that match how crews actually work — vehicles, plants, yards, and remote locations. Drop ratings, ingress protection, mounting, and lifecycle support are built into the plan.
Field Use Cases
Rugged devices live in service trucks, plants, mobile command posts, and outdoor sites — not just on desks. We categorize your use cases and match form factors and specs to each.
Crews working on roads, water, wastewater, power, or gas infrastructure, often outdoors or in harsh environments.
Devices used in plants, warehouses, and yards where dust, vibration, and impacts are part of day-to-day operations.
Inspections, enforcement, and field administration where staff need reliable devices that can be moved between vehicles and sites.
Rugged Portfolio
We work with rugged OEMs such as Durabook and Getac, selecting models and accessories that fit your field realities. The focus is on matching device families to environments, not just picking the highest-spec data sheet.
Fully rugged clamshells and convertibles built for harsh environments, with sealing, shock protection, and extended temperature ranges.
Semi-rugged systems for lighter-duty field and plant use, often balancing ruggedness with lower weight and cost.
Tablets and handhelds for single-handed use, inspections, and quick data capture, often with integrated scanners or cameras.
The success of a rugged deployment often depends on the “boring” pieces: mounts, power, and peripherals that crews use every day.
Design & Lifecycle
We typically start rugged projects with pilots: a small set of vehicles, crews, or sites. That lets you validate mounts, cables, apps, and ergonomics before committing to broad rollout.
We structure pilots so they answer practical questions: Is the device readable? Does the mount work? Is the battery sufficient for a full shift?
Rugged devices have different lifecycles than office laptops. We plan for spares, repair timelines, and replacement windows that reflect your operational risk.
Integration
Rugged deployments rarely stand alone. We align devices with your wireless coverage, switching, security, and application stack so field work is reliable end-to-end.
We ensure devices are supported by appropriate wireless coverage and network paths, whether on-site, in depots, or in the field.
We consider how rugged devices are enrolled, managed, and secured — including integration with your existing endpoint and identity tools.
Procurement & Continuity
We document rugged recommendations so they can support direct purchasing or formal RFQ/RFP processes — and we can also help when crews need replacements urgently.
We structure bills of materials in terms that make sense to your operations — by crew, route, region, or facility — not just a flat list of SKUs.
When existing rugged devices are failing or no longer supported, we can support short-term replacements and build a longer-term fleet plan around them.
We can start with a handful of vehicles or crews and grow from there, building a rugged strategy that fits your operations, budgets, and risk profile.
