Xplore Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: XPLR), the manufacturer of the
world’s most powerful, longest-lasting and ultra-rugged tablets on the
market, secured a purchase order for approximately $1.4 million of its iX104
series ultra-rugged tablets from a leading natural gas provider to
the southeastern United States. The order is expected to ship during the
second quarter of 2014.
The ultra-rugged tablets will be distributed to their field service
technicians and site supervisors, and used for pipeline measurement, at
construction sites, and during pipeline inspections. Xplore’s tablets
were selected for their ultra-rugged construction, best sunlight
readability in the market and high-accuracy global positioning system.
“When you’re working with heavy machinery and in hard hat areas, your
tablet has to keep up; Xplore’s tablets excel in those situations and
will keep the gas provider operating efficiently,” said Mark Holleran,
president and chief operating officer for Xplore Technologies. “The
utility industry once relied solely on rugged laptops, but many
companies have found that rugged tablets are a better fit when you’re
considering mobility, lifespan and total cost of ownership.”
“We’re seeing new growth in the utility and similar industries with
rugged tablets,” said Phil Sassower, chairman and chief executive
officer for Xplore Technologies. “This is a great win for Xplore and
encouraging for rugged tablet adoption where laptops used to reign.”
The iX104 ultra-rugged product line is the most durable, powerful and
longest-lasting industrial tablet PC in its class. For natural gas
operators, its ATEX certification and ability to operate in hazardous
areas without causing sparks make it the ideal choice. It is
MIL-STD-810G certified and IP67 rated, boasts a seven-foot drop rating
and is dust proof and fully submersible.
