Handheld Group - Rugged Computers for the Defence Industry

The defence industry generally sets the standard for tough devices of all kinds. Military standards are used to rate the ruggedness of handheld computers.

Durable computers that can withstand shock, temperature changes and vibration are of key significance in the military field. Army hardware has to be as reliable in bright sunlight and summer heat as it is in heavy rain or extremely cold weather. The importance of long battery life is also obvious as recharging is not always possible.
