Our Experience

We first developed ruggedised portable UNIX servers in the mid-1990s for the Australian Armed Forces. That project (AUSTACS) set the model for what became BCSS (Battlefield Command & Control), the system that today is still cental to the computer-centric warfare model used by the ADF.

That experience has since been applied to an amazingly diverse ranges of needs, such as ensuring trains on Australia's largest and most heavily used freight networks run on time, that our ever changing and only partially mapped coastline continues to be mapped, and that power distribution networks continue to deliver energy to consumers.

Our proven designs, including the double-sealed, ultra-rigid, ultra-strong chassis of our 'Military Rugged' notebook, tablet and PDA series, have set the standard for field-based portable computing. But we do more than just supply hardware. We help create end-to-end engineered  portable solutions for a range of commercial, industrial and defence/security applications, where reliability and the ability to customise and integrate with other rugged systems, are delivering world-class application-specific solutions that are considerable value to the activities of those that use them.

We utilise our own experienced engineering staff, or engage outside developers and industrial designers as required, depending on the needs of a specific project. We have both electronics and mechanical design experience, covering commercial, industrial and defence grade systems. For serious field-based professionals and security and defence customers, this gives us a significant edge when it comes to getting you into the field - but more importantly, keeping you there.

Did you know...

We're the only rugged computer supplier in Australia experienced in IPC-A 610 Class 3 manufacturing and inspection of PCBs required for electronics products used in military, medical and other 'always available on demand' applications. This capability far and aways exceeds the levels required for general purpose commercial-grade products.
