visibility on the market.
“The new Algiz 10X is perfectly suited for field professionals who need a rugged tablet
computer that is lightweight and built to withstand the harsh
conditions that come with all kinds of industry fieldwork, and that can
display detailed maps and other visuals even in bright sunlight,” said
Jerker Hellström, CEO of Handheld.
The
Algiz 10X is IP65-rated and meets stringent MIL-STD-810G military
standards for protecting against dust, water, vibrations, drops, extreme
temperatures and varying altitudes. It is lightweight at just 1.3 kg
(2.9 lbs), and it is only 32 mm (1.2″) thick.
The Algiz 10X’s brilliant display features the latest generation of MaxView technology. The tablet also comes with a u-blox GPS receiver and WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS capability, plus Bluetooth 4.0, WLAN 802.11 b/g/n and it is WWAN Gobi 3000-ready with fully integrated modem and antennas for wireless connectivity.
It
has a built-in 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, and several
connectivity opportunities, including waterproof USB 2.0, VGA and RS232
ports. The Algiz 10X operates on a powerful Intel Atom N2800 dual-core
processor with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, offering top-of-the-line computing
capability, and the SSD disk is expandable via microSD for massive
storage capacity. The Algiz 10X runs Windows 7 Ultimate, and is ready

professionals worldwide. The Algiz 10X comes with increased processing
power and storage plus a larger display – something that the market has
been asking for,” said Hellström.
