New GNSS Rugged Tablets from DT Research!

Group Mobile is excited to offer the new line of rugged tablets with GNSS modules for mapping applications from DT Research. The DT391GS, DT395GS, and DT307GS rugged tablets feature integrated high-accuracy GNSS receiver modules. They have built-in antenna for seamless data capture for mapping applications. This line of GS Tablets are ideal for field work that requires some form of mapping and geographic information systems (GIS), accurate synchronization, tracking, and networking. They are built to travel and provide reliable operations in the real world.

The DT391GS rugged tablet combines a 9” capacitive touch display with an energy-efficient Intel® Celeron® dual-core processor in a compact, durable package. With the high-accuracy GNSS module options (Hemisphere sub-meter or Trimble centimeter), the foldable antenna, and Windows® or Android operating system, users may choose the best positioning module for their applications. The DT391GS rugged tablet also offers protection in demanding environments with IP65 and MIL-STD-810G ratings for dust and water, and shock and vibration resistance.

The DT307GS rugged tablet features a 7″ capacitive touch screen and a quad-core, energy efficient processor with a built-in, high-accuracy GNSS module (ublox 7P with Precise Point Positioning (PPP) in combination with SBAS), and an Android operating system. The rugged DT307GS has 1GB RAM, 8GB of flash storage, and a Micro-SD card reader.  In addition, the rugged DT307GS has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connection, as well as fully-integrated options such as 3G module and camera. With MIL-STD-810G and IP65 rating, the DT307GS rugged tablet allows for long-term handling in the field. Learn more about the DT307GS rugged tablet…

What is MIL-STD (Military Standard) or MIL SPEC (Military Specification) ?

MIL-STD (Military Standard) or MIL SPEC (Military Specification) is a series of performance and manufacturing guidelines set by the US Department of Defense for military and commercial equipment and applications. These guidelines specify allowable parts and environmental condition ranges that a tool or other device must be able to operate in to meet compliance.

Some products will carry a MIL-STD-810E rating and others will state that their rugged notebooks are MIL-STD-810F compliant. The latest, MIL-STD-810G, is a revision of MIL-STD-810F and E. The tests and methods are the same but the results have been re-written to provide clearer direction. MIL-STD-810G testing is for a range of extreme conditions including 72″ drops, shocks, vibration, humidity, altitude, rain-, dust- and sand-resistance, temperature extremes and thermal shock. Most rugged manufacturers have switched to providing ruggedness testing information using MIL-STD-810G, but some still cite the older standard.

MIL-STD-810 test method is used to generate confidence in the environmental worthiness and overall durability of material system design. The testing process follows guidelines which include program documentation, program roles, test standards and laboratory test method guidelines for all categories. The laboratory test methods are broken down into 24 categories. Learn More…
