The World is a Battlefield Designed rugged from the ground up, Itronix GoBook computers feature rugged, wireless performance and features that result in quantifiable benefits over other computing options. Benefits of Itronix rugged computing solutions for Military Computing Applications: Fully-Rugged to Ultra-Rugged Capabilities At Itronix, we don't see the need to manufacture computers that just meet MIL-SPEC. Sure, we could meet the requirements by producing computers that withstand 26 one-meter drops onto plywood over concrete. But the military says it's OK to use FIVE computers to get one to pass the test. Our rugged-computing competitors can break four of their units and still pass the test. Itronix expects more than that. The GoBook MAX exceeds MIL-SPEC 810F requirements by surviving 54 repeated drops with ONE computer, on all sides, open and closed, even with the computer ON. We don't have to make our computers take that kind of punishment, but we can. Because they will. To get a look at the full 539-page, 5 MB, MIL-STD 810 document for rugged computers, pull up an easy chair and download the file: http://www.dtc.army.mil/pdf/810.pdf The Itronix GoBook is the ONLY notebook computer that has passed the MIL-S-901D (NAVY) heavyweight shock test. The testing engineers were blown-away with the GoBook's rugged performance. In comparison with other notebooks, one of our top competitor's "rugged" units failed the shock test when the unit's keyboard flew off, the display broke and the hard drive ejected on impact. For the U.S. Navy, no notebook performs under fire like the GoBook. Check out the movie that shows the explosive defense capabilities of Itronix solutions. Removable Hard Drives The ability to field-remove hard drives from the device gives military personnel a security edge, and speeds the transfer of extensive data files from device to device. Even if the computer gets run over by a Bradley, or hit by a SCUD the data is secure... IF the hard drive was removed! Heated Hard Drives and Displays Nothing likes to perform when it's really cold, and that includes your computer's hard drive. Itronix solutions feature heated hard drives and displays that keep the units running fast and secure even when the mercury falls out the bottom of the thermometer. And with our brightness control parameters, the GoBook Tablet PC is one of the few that is approved for use around Night Vision Goggles for military field applications. Advanced Cooling Design Even though Itronix computers are inherently built to perform when the heat is on, they also boast an advanced cooling design that takes performance to an even higher degree. Superior Product Performance How does the military use GoBook computing solutions? For critical issues like tracking troop and enemy movements, gathering and accessing recon data, maintaining aircraft databases and synching realtime with in-the-field SINGAR radios. A key to this work is speed and consistent performance in adverse conditions. Itronix computing solutions keep pace with processor technology and feature fast Pentium and Centrino processors to ensure that there is no waiting around when the CO wants an answer "NOW!" It's not only the performance of our hardware that is appreciated. Itronix is consistently recognized by military personnel for excellence in service. Our iCare® Services program is like calling in reinforcements for your computing needs. Extended warranties, fast repair and replacement options and other benefits make iCare Services a powerful performance enhancement tool. Advanced Wireless Capabilities Itronix leads the mobile computing industry with advanced wireless communications capabilities like supporting multiple radios concurrently in a single unit, or managing navigation from network to network, seamlessly in the field, with Mobility XE - which enables users to remain connected as they move between wireline and wireless networks. Upgradable Radio Technology CRMA® (Common Radio Module Architecture) allows radio modems to be field-upgraded as wireless data technologies evolve. While most notebook computers have a technology half-life of weeks, GoBook computers from Itronix are designed to perform under fire for 5 years or more. High-Performance Touchscreen & Keyboard Itronix computing solutions feature the ColorVue™ Touchscreen Display. Put a typical notebook computer in full sunlight and what do you see? If you are looking at the display, not much. But the ColorVue display handles the toughest viewing conditions under full sun. At night or in low-light situations a full-sized NiteVue® glow-in-the-dark keyboard and touchpad puts input and navigation control at your fingertips. iCare "Award Winning" Technical Support No one can afford to take chances with their mobile computer deployment. Itronix has developed a complete line-up of service programs that will maintain the performance and functionality of your entire GoBook deployment. The best warranties in the business and "HOT SWAP" spares and unit inventory options for on-site field repair are just the beginning of the award-winning Diamond, Emerald and Ruby plans we call iCare Services. Partnering with Industry Leaders In addition to providing the best hardware, middleware and customer service, Itronix has formed strong partnerships with some of the most qualified military solution providers available.
