Opentec is Australia's original rugged computer specialist. We pioneered ruggedised portable computer technologies back in the 1990s and have been delivering market-leading ruggedised  computers and computer-based solutions ever since.

We've helped Australian mountaineers in their assaults on Himalayan peaks, including Everest; helped yachtspeople circumnavigate the globe and stay in touch with it; helped pilots deliver more effective helicopter rescue services; helped soldiers keep the peace; helped hydrographers map coastlines; helped deliver disaster relief to tsunami stricken Pacific neighbours; and helped field-based professionals more effectively run their businesses ... long before many vendors had even heard of a rugged portable computer, let alone made one!

Why Opentec?

Opentec designs and assembles ruggedised notebook and tablet PCs, UMPCs (ultra-mobile PCs, or mini-tablet PCs) and PDAs. We also cuctomise these products, as well as create cutomised mounting systems, such as for motor vehicles and boats.

We also create integrated, portable computer-based systems, such as secure, embedded WiFi solutions, situational awareness solutions, and biometrics collection and verification solutions. We also resell a select range of computers and accessories from leading manufacturers that help create application-specific outcomes.

But we're more than just a supplier of COTS and MOTS grade computers.

We're the only Australian rugged computer supplier that is ISO 9001:2008 certified for both manufacturing AND design processes.

We're the only Australian computer solutions developer proven capable of creating ultra-low emission designs that meet the most stringent ‘Ground Army’ EMC levels required for military grade ‘Electronic Warfare’ systems.

We're also the only Australian rugged computer supplier that meets IPC-A 610 Class 3 requirements for PCB assembly and inspection, which is a requirement for products where continued high performance or performance-on-demand is critical, equipment downtime cannot be tolerated, end-use environment may be uncommonly harsh, and the equipment must function when required.

That's the true value of the Opentec pedigree: the ability to deliver solutions that are fit for purpose.

We understand the benefits of partnering

Did you know...

Opentec is the founding memeber of the AUSortium, which is the only Australian consortium supplying computer-centric solutions to the ADF that has been granted Australian Defence Prime Contractor status.

This is a recognition by the Commonwealth of the unique and strategically significant solutions we offer, as well as the unique indigenous capabilities and high local content offered by the group.

We've learned from experience that many heads are better than one. Much of our success can be attributed to strategic partnerships and teaming agreements with both local and international technology developers that has enabled us to deliver end-to-end engineered solutions that address a range of applications. Today we continue to partner with innovative Australian industrial designers, situational awarness system developers, electronics and mechanical engineers and other specialist suppliers and integrators to create new and innovative solutions for field based professionals in a range of commercial, industrial, resources, security and defence fields.

We're a Solutions Provider, not a Hardware Reseller 

Did you know...

We're the only rugged computer supplier to have been independently verified to meet the ADF's requirements for MIL-STD 461E 'Ground Army' ultra-low electronic emissions. The fact is, it's a difficult engineering feat no other rugged computer supplier has managed to meet!

From ruggedised notebooks and tablet PCs, to Ultra-Mobile PCs (UMPCs) and PDAs, to customised hardware, to fully integrated systems design and deployment, to biometrics systems, to integrated secure field deployable LANS and wireless networking solutions, we're helping Australian organisations stay ahead by delivering superior products and superior value for money.

Our fast turn-around times on repairs, local technical support, and our ability to engage with local businesses all help ensure we're able to deliver what local customers need.

We have global reach

Did you know...

We've created partnerships with leading companies in the USA, Asia and Europe to develop unique solutions that lead the world in features, durability and value-add capabilitiy, in a range of areas ranging from local area networking, to C4/ISR solutions, to multi-modal biometrics.

How many Australian based companies can deliver solutions as far afield as Asia, the Middle East, Europe of the Americas?
