JLT Mobile Computers Expands its Android Products Suite with New Fully Rugged Tablets and Handheld Computers
With its range of Android products including vehicle-mount computers, tablets and handheld computers, JLT addresses the growing interest in Android for professional use
Växjö, Sweden, October 17th, 2018 * * *JLT Mobile Computers, a leading developer and manufacturer of reliable computers for demanding environments, sees an increasing demand for Android within many of its core segments, including warehouse logistics, transportation, ports, mining and agriculture markets. Responding to this trend, in March 2018 JLT launched its latest generation JLT6012 vehicle-mount computer with Android support, and is now expanding its Android operating system product suite with three new fully rugged portable computers.
Being by far the most common mobile operating system for smartphones and other consumer devices, Android, with its familiarity, ease-of-use and flexibility is now growing in popularity also in the enterprise and vertical market space.
"No doubt, there is a lot of interest in Android on mobile devices for professional use within our core markets," observes Per Holmberg, CEO of JLT Mobile Computers. "By providing Android alternatives for our vehicle-mount computers and now also our portable computers, we help customers save on cost and training, and simplify maintenance by running the same OS on all devices deployed in their operation."
The three new products are the 5-inch MH1005Arugged handheld, the 7-inch MT1007Arugged tablet, and the 10.1-inch MT2010Arugged tablet. All are IP65 dustproof and water resistant, capable of operating in temperatures of -10 to +50°C (14 to +122°F), built to withstand even the most challenging working environments, and tested to applicable MIL-STD-810G requirements.
Powered by ARM Cortex-A53 octa-core 1.3 GHz processors, all come with bright sunlight viewable displays, capacitive multi-touch screen, front and rear integrated cameras, as well as data capturing functions including NFC reader and optional 1D/2D-barcode reader. For maximum productivity, all include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and mobile broadband and provide full-shift battery life or more.
The new rugged tablet and handheld units, which are available for immediate order, are offered with the same high level of support and services that JLT is renowned for. A wide range of accessories is available, including vehicle and desktop docks, high-capacity batteries, battery chargers, and hand and shoulder straps.
