Rugged tablets are lightweight and portable for easy transportation at a scene, to be written on, drawn on, or have data entered, it can also easily be transported in a vehicle and used while en route to a facility or location.

Rugged Tablets Provide Multi-Use Functionality

  1. Mounted in an ambulance – when a person has called for an ambulance, oftentimes they need to be worked on while in the vehicle during transport. Rugged tablets offer first responders the ability to log vitals and conditions into the tablet in real-time. During transit, the tablet can be mounted in the back of the ambulance so information can still be put into the network while a patient is being attended to. Hospital staff can be aware of what the conditions are and what has already been done so they are ready for the patient upon arrival and already caught up on the medical condition.
  2. Handheld in the field – Whether a first responder or law enforcement officer needs to use a rugged tablet in the field for attending to a patient or documenting a scene, rugged tablets are portable and lightweight enough to be carried from a vehicle into the field. Thus allowing first responders to have mobility and flexibility to do their job wherever their job takes them.
  3. Mounted in a police car – vehicle mounts for police cars turns the police car into a mobile office. Preventing the impact of vibration and shock from the car, while allowing law enforcement officers to work virtually from their car with ease. Detachable keyboards and easy-release mounts make it simple for the tablet to be taken back into the field to cite traffic violations, or document an accident scene.
