“Getac’s products provide mobile users with tools to improve productivity when away from the office,” said Anthony A. Lewis, vice president of Open Development at Verizon Wireless. “As businesses have the need to stay connected no matter where work happens, they can be confident that these devices combined with the Verizon Wireless network will help them do just that.”
Getac B300
The B300’s durability, dependability and advanced performance technology are a few reasons why it is Getac’s best selling rugged notebook. The B300 offers Getac’s exclusive QuadraClear Technology with touchscreen, which utilizes special anti-reflective coatings, linear and circular polarizers and a 1200 nit LED display for optimal viewability in direct sunlight. Battery life is extremely important in the field, and due to superior power management technology and advanced display technology, the Getac B300 offers up to 12 hours of battery life on a single charge allowing extended use in remote areas where access to additional power may not be available. Users also have the option of placing a second battery in the media bay for an additional 12 hours* of battery life. The Getac B300 is covered by a 5-year bumper-to-bumper warranty.
Getac V100
One of the most important features of a rugged mobile computer is the ability to view the display in direct sunlight. Getac’s V100 fully-rugged convertible computer offers Getac’s exclusive breakthrough QuadraClear technology with touchscreen, allowing for optimal viewability in direct sunlight. QuadraClear utilizes special anti-reflective coatings, linear and circular polarizers and a 1200 nit LED display to create this innovative technology. This technology allows our military personnel to read even the most complex maps or “intel” in the bright desert sunlight-”an environment which would render most LCD’s unreadable. The Getac V100 is covered by a 5 year bumper-to-bumper warranty.
