Getac has announced the launch of its next-generation K120 fully-rugged tablet, for mobile field professionals working in challenging industries including public safety, manufacturing, utilities, defense, transportation, natural resources, and oil & gas.
Superior performance
Building on a proven track record of success, the next-generation of Getac’s popular K120 tablet features a multitude of upgrades and enhancements over its predecessor, to further optimize productivity in remote and/or adverse environments.
A powerful 11th Generation Intel quad-core i5/i7 processor with integrated Iris Xe graphics (codename: Tiger Lake) delivers extraordinary performance, rapid responsiveness, and rich visuals, meaning the K120 can be used to carry out multiple tasks simultaneously without slowing or overheating.
Over-air interfaces
Enhanced connectivity, due to inbuilt Wi-Fi 6, WWAN with Integrated GPS/GLONASS and Bluetooth 5.2, enables users to utilize a wide selection of over-air interfaces, while Thunderbolt 4 technology makes data collection in the field quick and easy.
Additional key features include PCIe NVMe user-replaceable SSD storage and 16GB of memory as standard.
Technology for all types of environment
The K120 also includes a 12.5-inch, 1,200 nits LumiBond 2.0 display with Getac sunlight readable technology, for easy operation in even the brightest outdoor environments.
An innovative dual hot-swappable battery design offers uninterrupted full-shift functionality
Multiple touch modes (regular touch, glove, and pen modes, plus an optional digitizer mode) enhance performance in a range of situations, while an innovative dual hot-swappable battery design offers uninterrupted full-shift functionality.
To keep sensitive data fully protected, the K120 features a powerful suite of security features and multifactor authentication management including Intel vPro Technology, TPM 2.0, HF RFID reader, smart card reader, fingerprint reader, and Windows Hello.
Enhanced versatility
The next-generation K120 has been designed with versatility at its core. This means it can be quickly and easily adapted to numerous real-world use cases via an extensive range of user modes and optional Getac accessories, including secure vehicle and office docks, hard handle, shoulder strap (2-point), dual bay battery charger, and full-size keyboard.
IP66 and MIL-STD certifications
Like all Getac devices, the next-generation K120 is built rugged from the ground up to offer exceptional reliability that easily outperforms other rugged devices currently available on the market.
MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461G, and IP66 certification, 6ft (1.8m) drop resistance, and an operating temperature range of -29°C to 63°C (-20°F to 145°F) mean users can get to work without fear of data loss, damage, or failure.
tailored for industry needs
The next-generation K120 is part of Getac Select, which combines pre-configured rugged devices, software, accessories, and professional services into a total solution optimized for both individual applications and user groups.
Key software utilities available for use alongside the K120 are the Virtual Global Positioning System Utility (VGPS), Getac Driving Safety Utility, Getac Device Monitoring System (GDMS), and KeyWedge Barcode Reader Utility.
A versatile, all-purpose solution
Firefighters need digital devices that let them work effectively in a diverse range of day-to-day scenarios, from updating vital fire safety and critical awareness data to coordinating crews and controlling drones while on-scene at an emergency incident.
K120 has a powerful processor, superb connectivity, and inbuilt security features and makes every task easy
The K120’s versatility makes every task quick and easy. Its powerful processor, superb connectivity, and inbuilt security features mean it can be relied on in even the most adverse emergency scenarios, while five programmable buttons provide fast, one-touch access to first responder applications.
An optional dedicated GPS unit makes it suitable for high-speed navigation during emergency response callouts, and Getac’s VGPS utility can be used to extend the life of important legacy applications.
Virtual Global Positioning System (VGPS)
Getac’s VGPS utility is a software solution that replicates GPS data to multiple virtual COM ports, allowing up to five different software applications to run simultaneously on a Getac device.
Doing so helps extend the life of legacy applications that require COM port interfaces to run in parallels, such as AVL, CAD, or eCitation. VGPS can be seamlessly integrated with any GPS-equipped Getac device.
A comprehensive solution
“The original K120’s blend of portability, connectivity, and rugged reliability made it ideal for customers who needed a solution that could excel in every scenario, not just a few,” says Chris Bye, President, Getac UK Ltd.
The next-generation K120 raises that bar even higher, combining industry-leading rugged design with the latest technology, applications, and services, to deliver a comprehensive solution that helps optimize productivity across a wide range of challenging industries.
Availability
The next-generation Getac K120 will be available in July 2021.
