DT Research launches 2-in-1 rugged tablet

DT Research, a designer and manufacturer of purpose-built computing solutions for vertical markets, is offering a new 2-in-1 ultra rugged tablet for its DT301 and DT311 series. The tablets are built to withstand extreme outdoor environments with customizable options built into a slim, lightweight design that is also well-suited for the office.

The new ultra-rugged tablets have water-resistant detachable keyboards, internal hot-swappable batteries, and advanced hardware-software security with two Full HD screen size options to maximize use in multiple settings.

“Mobile tablets are fast becoming the ‘go to’ computing device for the military and other field jobs,” said Daw Tsai Sc.D., president of DT Research. “But as the use of mobile tablets has risen, we saw that users need the flexibility to use tablets in a variety of settings. Our new 2-in-1 ultra-rugged tablets can dynamically adapt to indoor and outdoor use, while remaining light and durable with our signature fully-integrated design. These 2-in-1 tablets continue to demonstrate our dedication to delivering highly reliable computing solutions, which require built-in features, not attachments that can easily break, stop working, get lost or stolen.”

DT Research’s Ultra Rugged Tablets have been well-received by many organizations, including the U.S. Army Reserve, which is expanding use of the DT311H rugged tablets into other army facilities to support training missions and other logistics. This marks the second Army Reserve contract for Rugged Tablets that DT Research has been awarded this year.

The new 2-in-1 Ultra Rugged Tablets designed and manufactured by DT Research are full-featured, yet lightweight and come with Full HD anti-reflective outdoor viewable screens in two models ready for military, industrial, emergency/first-responder, fieldwork and other extreme environments.

The DT301S is a fanless tablet that weighs only 2.86 pounds with all options fully-integrated. The 10.1-inch display has 1920 x 1200 resolution and supports a capacitive touch stylus or a digital pen. Customers can choose either an Intel 6th Generation Coreä i5 or Coreä i7 CPU with 4GB or 8GB RAM running Microsoft® Windows 10 IoT Enterprise OS or Windows 7 Professional.

The DT311H tablet has a larger 11.6 inch display with 1920 x 1080 resolution, yet still lightweight at 3.6 pounds and also supports a capacitive touch stylus or digital pen. Customers have a CPU choice of Intel Coreä i5 or Coreä i7 with 8GB to 16GB RAM running Windows 10 IoT Enterprise OS or Windows 7 Professional.

DT Research’s ultra-rugged 2-in-1 tablets include both software and hardware security features. The DT301S and DT311H take full advantage of advanced Windows 10 IoT Enterprise OS security including Device Guard enterprise hardware and software security features that only allow the tablet to run trusted applications with TPM 1.2 and 2.0 support. The DT301S and DT311H include Lock Down features to protect against malicious users, which also provide a custom designed user experience and increase system reliability.

DT Research combines the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise software security with its proprietary hardware security, such as media sanitization option that supports both NSA and USA-AF/Navy/Army standards. Hardware security options also include camera privacy mode, instant blackout, as well as automatic Bluetooth, RFID and WiFi disable functions that can be pre-configured to turn off all radio capabilities under certain conditions.
