Roper Mobile Technology Unveils DUROS Rugged Tablet PC


– Tempe, AZ, USA – Roper Mobile Technology, provider of fully rugged, highly customizable computer solutions for challenging environments, announced the debut of the Duros Rugged Tablet PC. The Duros is a fourth generation, powerful Windows XP-based tablet PC that is sealed to IP-65 levels for dust and water ingress and manufactured to MILSPEC 810F.

The Duros is built for “anywhere” use. Equipped with an 8.4-inch brilliant sunlight viewable, SVGA resistive touch screen and an AMD Geode™ LX 800 Processor or Intel
Celeron M 1.0 GHz, the Duros packs up to 1 GB memory and up to 120GB storage (up to
64GB solid state drive). Its hot swappable battery feature diminishes downtime and
extends battery life.

The Duros is equipped with integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS
and optional built-in GPS for flexible communication options for extremely remote or
harsh field applications, such as mining, construction, utilities, public safety or the military.

“The Duros Tablet PC is a key offering in Roper Mobile’s growing rugged portfolio.
Unlike a laptop, the Duros’ versatile and convenient form factor was designed around
requirements for our customers who carry their computers into highly variable
environments,” said Eric Miller, Vice President at Roper Mobile Technology. “These
customers demand excellence and reliability and the Duros was designed to meet these
needs.”

The Duros is available immediately through Roper Mobile’s worldwide distribution
channels. For product specs, photos and pricing, go to www.ropermobile.com.
