P470 rugged notebook, no theft, no damage, no fuss
(M2 PressWIRE Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
RDATE:18102007
Telford, England - GETAC Inc., a leading, specialist rugged mobile
computer manufacturer, has today launched the new P470, a secure and
rugged notebook designed to provide mobile users peace of mind when
taking their work and valuable data on the move.
Taking work, and quite often, sensitive data out of the office can be
very risky when you take into account the increase of probable
accidents and the dramatic increase in the risk of loss or theft. The
P470 protects against such incidents reducing the risk of valuable data
getting into the wrong hands and lowering the failure rate of the
hardware to ensure data is not lost. Lower cost of ownership is
becoming increasingly important companies and the P470 is the ideal
solution.
The P470 features a magnesium alloy casing that reduces overall weight
by 25% and at less than 3Kg, with a specially designed carry handle,
the P470 is a truly mobile solution. Magnesium Alloy casing also
increases the P470 chassis' strength by 50% enabling it to survive
small drops that can quite often occur when on the move. As well as
featuring a shock mounted HDD and LCD TFT screen, thus being able to
withstand vibration and shock conditions which can cause electronic
circuit damage and loose connections, the P470 is also equipped with a
G-Sensor to protect data from sudden drop or accidents. For more
extreme conditions, the P470 also includes sealed I/O caps and doors to
prevent solid particles and moisture such as dust, rain and spillages
from entering the unit and possibly rendering it inoperable, making it
the ideal solution for use in bad weather conditions or in untidy
environments.
The P470 also possesses an array of impenetrable defensive capabilities
to keep data safe from hackers or if the notebook is stolen. Rejecting
unauthorized access thus protecting confidential information, the P470
features powerful functionalities for storage security, authority
justification and integrity measurement. Firstly the P470 boasts a
Biometric Fingerprint Reader, a secure and reliable authentication
device for log-in or to access sensitive information. The Fingerprint
Reader also eliminates the need to remember passwords which can be
easily forgotten or hacked. And secondly,a Trusted Platform Module (TPM
1.2) or Root-of-Trust', a chain of trust procedures monitors every
step, from pre-boot to OS load, to guard against unauthorized tampering
from physical theft of software attack.
When being away from the office for any amount of time, it is essential
that you are able to stay in touch. The P470 offers various wireless
connectivity facilities to ensure you stay connected wherever you may
be. Enabling you to stay in contact with the office or allowing you to
access the internet on the move, the P470 features built-in 802.11a/b/g
Wi-Fi to connect to a Local Area Notebook, now found in a multitude of
locations, such as train and railway stations, hotels and more. Other
options for the P470 include; Bluetooth 2.4Gto allow you to securely
connect to other Bluetooth devices, Wide Area Network GPS recording the
P470's location, and 3Gtechnology. For conferencing facilities, the
P470 also features a built-in 1.3 Mega Pixel camera which is ideal as a
web cam for video conferencing.
Taking a notebook on the move not only increases overall risk of damage
and data loss but also comes hand-in-hand with other obstacles to
prevent you from working efficiently, for example bright sunlight and
limited battery life. GETAC's extensive technological and manufacturing
experience within the specialized rugged market has lead to many
breakthroughs in advanced hardware technologies including; GETAC's
cutting-edge sunlight-readable display technology. The optional
Sunlight-Readable LCD display has been designed to ensure continuous
use under bright ambient lighting conditions. Intensifying an LCD's
visibility, the technology makes the P470's display more readable and
therefore usable in extremely bright outdoor environments. (An optional
backlit keyboard is also available for darkened conditions). The P470
also features multi-bay options which can be utilized to extend all
important battery life when a power facility is not available. (The
multi-bay can also be used to support an additional HDD for extreme
storage).
