RUGGED MIL-STD MOBILE COMPUTERS

They are often used in military, and emergency services.
Rugged mobile computers may be handheld devices such as industrial PDAs or tablets, or they may be mounted in vehicles or on equipment.
One standard that is commonly used to measure the ruggedness of mobile computers is MIL-STD-810G, which is a set of test methods and procedures developed by the US military to evaluate the performance of equipment under a range of environmental conditions. Mobile computers that meet MIL-STD-810G standards are able to withstand extreme temperatures, humidity, vibration, shock, and other conditions that could damage standard consumer electronics.
Rugged mobile computers may have features such as a touch screen, keyboard, barcode scanner, RFID reader, GPS, and wireless connectivity. They may also have specialized software for specific applications, such as asset tracking, field service work, or maintenance management..
