Xplore Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: XPLR), manufacturer of the most
powerful, longest-lasting and ultra-rugged and fully-rugged tablets,
announced today that it received more than $6 million in purchase orders
for the deployment of its fully-rugged Bobcat Windows tablet. The
tablets will be used by field service technicians in the
telecommunications provider’s construction and engineering divisions.
“This order reaffirms Xplore’s decision to expand its product line of
ultra-rugged tablets and include fully-rugged products,” said Mark
Holleran, president and chief operating officer for Xplore Technologies.
“The Bobcat was chosen because the simultaneous availability of so many
features means the customer doesn’t have to compromise on functionality.
These orders are the first in what we expect to be a project that will
run into the tens of millions of dollars.”
The telecommunications provider selected the fully-rugged Bobcat to help
achieve cost savings and increased mobility for its field technicians.
In addition to tablets, the telecommunications provider ordered the
tablet’s vehicle mounted docks, desktop docking solution and other
accessories.
“We continue to drive value for our customers, and this is being
reciprocated in the form of large orders such as this one,” said Philip
S. Sassower, CEO and chairman of the board for Xplore Technologies.
“There can now be no doubt about Xplore’s ability to win and service the
largest deals in the rugged industry. We look forward to capitalizing on
our great success in the telecommunications industry and bringing our
world class products to other applicable industries.”
The Bobcat features a slim, lightweight design and runs Windows 7 or 8.1
operating systems. Certified MIL-STD-810G and IP65, the Bobcat can
withstand a five-foot drop and operate in extreme temperatures. As the
most expansive tablet on the market, the Bobcat comes standard with
integrated GPS, two full-sized USB 3.0 ports, RJ-45 gigabit Ethernet,
RS-232 serial-ready port and optional 4G LTE mobile broadband.
