Drover 10.4" Semi-Rugged Tablet PC 

Part of our expanded 'I&C' (Industrial & Commercial) range, the newly released Drover is, we think, the most compact, feature-rich 10.4" tablet PC on the market. Packed full of features, it's ideal as a thin client or in stand alone roles in everything from POS to warehouse to in-vehicle applications. With optional barcode and magnetic stripe scanners, GPS and 2 Megapixel camera, as well as 3G connectivity, the Drover is amazingly light (at just 1.4kg) while being rated as Semi-Rugged.

It's also an amazing price, starting at less than AUD$3,000 (GST incl)!

  IPT 7 7" Widescreen Semi-Rugged UMPC 

Part of our expanded 'I&C' (Industrial & Commercial) range, the IPT 7 is an ultra-miniature tablet PC (UMPC) ideal for users who need more processing and storage capability than is available on a PDA, but who still need a device that is very compact and very light weight.

Starting at under AUD$1,890 (GST incl), we think it's the best value Semi-Rugged mini-tablet (or UMPC/handheld) you'll find. Ideal for when space is tight but you need the maximum possible screen size.

  IPC 13 13.3" Rugged Convertible Notebook

Part of our expanded 'I&C' (Industrial & Commercial) range, the IPC 13 delivers many of the features that made our RPC Series notebooks renowned amongst Australian defence force users for their superior durability, as well as the features being demanded by commercial and industrial users, all merged into a compact and more aggressively priced unit.

With a 13.3" touch-enabled LCD with a swivel lid that allows the unit to be quickly converted to a tablet PC, it offers RUGGED performance at an industry beating, 'best-in-class' price, starting at less than AUD$5,150 (GST incl).

  Rugged Multi-Modal Biometrics Solutions 

Opentec is now the only Australian company offering both PDA-based and ATOM UMPC-based multi-modal biometrics ID solutions.

The DuoMetrics System is designed for security and law enforcement, where fingerprint/latent fingerprint and facial scanning is sufficient for quick ID or suspect enrolments.

  'Openfire' RmPT 5-M 5" Mil Rugged UMPC 

At the heart of the newly released TrioMetrics System (see below) is the amazing, ultra-compact UMPC (Ultra-Miniature PC) codenamed the 'Openfire' RmPT 5-M.

At only 135mm wide, and weighing in at less than 750grams, it's a full PC, running either Windows XP Pro or Windows 7 on an Intel ATOM 1.6GHz CPU. This is a purpose built, 'military rugged' device designed to add real value in the field in mission critical operations.

But what would you expect from the rugged portable computer company that's helped the Australia Armed Forces deploy rugged computing solutions into the field since 1994!

  'FLEXkit' UGV/Robotics Control System 

THE NEW Openfire 'FLEXkit' System is a revolution in unmanned ground or marine vehicle controls. It replaces existing stand-alone radios, amplifiers and antennae to deliver the closest thing to an Unmanned Systems Common Operator Control Unit (COCU) architecture currently available.

And because it's based on our 'Military Rugged' RPC 15 notebook, it's a true 'plug-&-play' platform that's built to survive in the most extreme environments, just like the unmanned vehicles it was designed to control.

  '19/2 System' LAN-In-A-Box 

Designed for Defence applications, the newly released Openfire '19/2 System' delivers plug-n-play networking in a compact, yet fully ruggedised format.  Suitable for vehicle installation or mounting in a transport case, the system can be 19" rack mounted, or individual components can be bulkhead/surface mounted.

What makes it unique is that it's a fully integrated solution, designed for networking on the move, where less space, weight, energy consumption and heat output is required, and optimum flexibility and reliability are demanded.

  'RPDA 6' Super Rugged PDA with 4" LCD 

Based on the RPDA 5's oustandingly durable chassis, but now with a Mobile 6 operating system PLUS optional 3G/3.5G (HSDPA/UMTS) phone/data, the RPDA 6 Series sets the standard for top-end durability and flexibility in a compact yet feature-rich format.

Also now standard is the ULTRA 'ultra-rugged' touchscreen that will resist years of impacts and abrasion, making this arguably the most rugged PDA on the market. Yet despite all this, the RPDA 6 remains competitively priced compared to less rugged commercial-grade PDAs; and very aggressively priced compared to other vendor's defence-grade PDAs. Best of all, our Sydney-based engineering team can create custom modifications and integrate with 3rd party electronics for specialised requirements.

Ideal for industrial, field service or military roles, this is one tough little customer. Perfect for handheld or vehicle applications; with belt or forearm pouches to enhance portability.

  'Jackaroo Lite' Series Rugged Tablets 

Many users indicated they wanted a larger, brighter touchscreen than was available on a PDA or a UMPC, but didn't need the storage, processing capability or ruggedness of a 'top end' Super Rugged tablet. The new Jackaroo Lite Series offers just that.

With the features of the Core 2 Duo Jackaroo, but with a lower power consumption Via Eden 1.5GHz ULV CPU, it offers rugged durability and a full IP54 level of dust and moisture ingress protection. Featuring a 10.4" user interface with XGA resolution, plus the option of higher brightness, 400NIT 'full sun viewable' LCDs, as well as an integrated numeric keypad, programmable hotkeys and a cursor navigation pad (in addition to its touchscreen), it's feature-rich but at a lower cost than its Core 2 Duo stable mate.

Ideal for industrial premises, commercial vehicle or outdoor use, it's yet another genuine work tool for field-based professionals, especially those undertaking frequent off-road activities.
