World’s Most Rugged Handheld Tablet Computer

Panasonic just introduced the Toughbook H1 Field, the world’s most rugged handheld tablet computer. The new device enables extreme mobility and productivity for field sales personnel, first responders, supervisors, inspectors, maintenance workers and other highly mobile professionals. Certified to meet IP65 and MIL-STD-810G — with a six foot drop rating — the Toughbook H1 Field offers the durability expected of Toughbook mobile computers, so users have the confidence to work in the most demanding conditions. With optional SmartCard, RFID, and barcode readers, camera, GPS and Qualcomm’s new Gobi2000™ mobile broadband technology, the device helps to maximize mobile worker productivity.

By leveraging Panasonic’s advanced battery technology and a 1.86 GHz Intel Atom™ processor, the Toughbook H1 Field offers a category-leading six hours of battery life, complemented by twin hot-swappable batteries that allow for limitless use, virtually eliminating down time and maximizing return on investment.

“As workforces become more mobile, it’s critical to empower them with the right tools,” said Kyp Walls, director of product management, Panasonic Computer Solutions Company. “The Toughbook H1 Field was designed based on extensive customer input to ensure it had the right mix of form factor, features and durability to maximize worker productivity and value. With so many features that exceed the performance capabilities of competitive products, we believe the Toughbook H1 Field is best positioned to meet the computing needs of highly mobile workers, along with their IT administrators.”

The Panasonic Toughbook H1 Field includes a 500 nit, 10.4″ dual-touch display that offers both tablet and touchscreen functionality. The display also includes a circular polarizer, plus anti-glare and anti-reflective screen treatments, making it easily viewable in direct sunlight. Weighing only 3.4 lbs, this mobile computing platform features 2GB of RAM and a 64GB reinforced flex-connect solid state drive.

The Toughbook H1 Field offers exceptional ergonomics, including a Panasonic designed system that comfortably cradles the hand between the device and its molded hand strap. Other ergonomic features include a well-balanced center of gravity, integrated handle, thoughtful placement of integrated features and lack of hotspots, making the device safe and easy to use for long periods of time.

The Toughbook H1 Field offers a range of embedded wireless connectivity options including 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 and Qualcomm’s new Gobi2000™ technology which simplifies complex multi-carrier wireless deployments for IT departments. The H1 Field will be certified on the Sprint and Verizon Wireless networks, allowing workers to stay connected at all times. Other wireless carrier certifications will be announced soon.

The Toughbook H1 Field includes multiple security features, including options for a contactless or insertable SmartCard reader and a fingerprint reader, helping to ensure that critical data is kept secure.
