Panasonic Connect has launched upgrades to its TOUGHBOOK G2 and 33 detachable rugged tablets
Panasonic’s 10.1-inch TOUGHBOOK G2mk2 and 312-inch 3mk3 devices feature market-leading ruggedness, performance, enhanced connectivity and increased modularity to adapt to different mobile worker requirements.
The G2mk2 and 33mk3 both use the 12th generation Intel Core (Alder Lake) i5 processor range, with Intel vPro Technology. For the most demanding applications, the optional new Intel Core i7 processor with Intel vPro technology is available.
Both new devices feature Intel Iris Xe Graphics technology, enabling superior graphics performance, particularly valuable in the emergency services sector, where the TOUGHBOOK 33 is used as a Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) for fire services, enabling officers to access detailed mapping and data such as hydrant location, building plans, risk cards, operating guidance, home fire safety checks, and detailed vehicle information.
The latest TOUGHBOOK G2’s rear expansion area can now be fitted with a fingerprint reader, and its Top Expansion Area is now compatible with a MicroSD Memory Card Slot, enabling personnel to quickly access and transfer important data between devices when in the field.
Ready to connect
The G2mk2 is ready to connect to 5G private networks straight out of the box, delivering ultra-low latency, faster response times, and enhanced data transfer and communication for mobile workers. Both the G2mk2 and 33mk3 utilise the Thunderbolt connectivity standard, enabling high-bandwidth data, power, and video transfers. The devices also include the latest Wi-Fi (Intel Wireless 6E AX211) that selects the optimum bandwidth to save battery power.
The military-grade ruggedness and IP65**-rated water and dust capabilities of the G2mk2 protect against drops, knocks, vibrations, and extreme temperatures.
“Both the TOUGHBOOK G2mk2 and 33mk3 provide a fantastic balance of market-leading performance, cost-efficiency, and battery life for today’s mobile worker, who are increasingly utilising a range of demanding applications in the field,” said Dirk Weigelt, senior product marketing manager at Panasonic Connect. “These latest iterations demonstrate Panasonic’s intimate knowledge of its customers’ requirements, regardless of industry, and what they need to consistently perform at their best in the field.”
