Xplore Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: XPLR), manufacturer of rugged and
ultra-rugged tablets, has announced the XC6 series, the most rugged and
highest performing tablet in the industry. The tablet significantly
upgrades Xplore’s iX104 ultra-rugged tablet series, with double the
performance speeds, a 30 percent increase in sunlight-readability, an
innovative rugged multi-touch display and a full Windows 8.1 or Windows
7 Pro operating system.
“The XC6 is the toughest and highest performance product Xplore has ever
developed. It will perform very well in environments where device
failure is not an option,” said Mark Holleran, president and chief
operating officer for Xplore Technologies. “No matter if it’s the middle
of the desert or in freezing rain, this tablet is going to excel in
extreme conditions, resulting in a longer lifecycle and higher return on
investment for our customers.”
Third-party tested to the highest rugged standards, the XC6 goes beyond
typical industry MIL-STD-810G rugged testing requirements to boast a
seven-foot drop rating. Certified water and dust proof, the XC6 is
equipped with a fourth generation Intel Core i5 processor, 4G LTE
communications capabilities, offers up to 256 gigabytes of configurable
solid state storage and lasts even longer in the field with a 30 percent
increase in battery life.
“While we expand our product offerings, we will continue to maintain our
leadership position as the manufacturer of the most rugged tablets by
continuing to deliver the latest in ultra-rugged tablet technology,”
said Philip S. Sassower, chairman and chief executive officer for
Xplore. “Tapping into more than 15 years of experience, we continue to
develop the most advanced mobile computing solutions for industries
operating in the toughest environments.”
With a 1300 NIT display, the XC6 direct sunlight-readable screen offers
users the clearest visibility, even in extreme lighting situations.
Xplore has engineered a new and unique Analog Matrix Resistive
multi-touch screen to facilitate tablet use while wearing gloves or in
soaking wet conditions. The XC6 screen also features an In-Plane
Switching display to enhance contrast, provide more uniform color
reproduction, and enable a wider variety of viewing angles.
Xplore Technologies’ XC6 series can be configured for a variety of
applications and industries, such as military operations, oil and gas
(including hazardous, explosion-prone locations), utilities,
transportation, construction, warehousing and distribution applications
and any other industries that operate in harsh environments.
