Rugged Convertible Laptops Increase Police Productivity and Efficiency Beyond the Patrol Car

When it comes to their equipment, police, firefighters, and EMS professionals all face particular challenges while in the field. They require the most durable tablet or laptop that can handle the demanding—and occasionally harsh—facets of the job and still perform flawless navigation, communicate with a central command station, and provide data-driven decisions.

Why Rugged Convertible Laptops for Law Enforcement and First Responders?

IP65 rating and MIL-STD-810G Standard

MIL-STD is a durability standard created by the US Department of Defense that specifies all performance tests to ensure that products meet specific requirements for various military purposes. In addition, Ingress protection rating (IP) defines the computer’s resistance when subjected to a dirt/dusty environment, moisture, and water splash.

Wherever duty takes you, the DT Research LT series Rugged Laptops are built to go with you. These durable laptops are certified for shocks, drops, and vibrations according to MIL-STD 810G and have IP65 classification. The LT series convertible rugged laptops are ideal for public safety and military applications due to their ability to endure repeated drops, harsh temperatures,  humidity, and exposure to water and dust.

Mobility

Purpose-built for field office and constrained spaces, the LT Convertible Rugged Tablets have a large touch screen size, offering employees who need a large screen to work on visually intensive tasks and multiple programs. This laptop-tablet comes with an optional 4k resolution screen for high-performance graphics viewing and an optional 4k front camera. Offering both a smart card reader and SD card reader. It is also complemented with a wide array of fully-integrated data capture like the SD card reader, or smart card/CAC reader. For maximum functionality, users can also choose from a wide range of complementary accessories such as digital pens, battery charger kits with AC adapter and power cord, high-capacity battery packs that are convenient for field use, and vehicle cradles for mounting in cars, trucks, and other vehicles.
