MIL-STD-810G Compliant / IP67 rated, Extended Storage / Battery Life and Transflective Screen Make Getac PS236 Ideal for All Field Applications
MUNICH, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Getac Technology Corporation, a
leading innovator and manufacturer of rugged computers that meet the demands
of field-based applications, is adding to its extensive line of rugged mobile
computing solutions with its introduction of the PS236 -- most portable
handheld device with GPS, WWAN communication, and WiFi with Bluetooth
capabilities, on the market. Offering a variety of features including a
built-in 3 megapixel auto-focus camera, altimeter, E-compass, extended battery
life, real-time voice and data communications*, and up to 12 Gigabytes of
storage**, the Getac PS236 portable GPS PDA could very well be the only
companion field professionals will need, even in the most extreme environments.
For field-based personnel, real-time communications in all forms is the
most critical aspect of their job and the Getac PS236 provides it all in one
handheld device. The built-in GPS gives exact location coordinates to within
5 meters and its built-in camera allows users to capture critical data and
transmit with description tags specifying details of the photos. Using
Getac's proprietary Geo-Tagging application, users can quickly tag a variety
of geographic information including GPS, E-Compass, and Altimeter, into the
JPEG file.
"The Getac PS236 offers users fast, reliable, and consistently accurate
real-time communications solutions which are critical to anyone working in the
field," said Ted Hilbert, Business Development Manager, Getac Technology
Corporation. "Our customers work in some of the most extreme environments and
need a communications tool that can handle severe climate changes and perform
flawlessly. By extending the battery life and increasing the storage capacity
in the PS236, our customers can spend more time in the field and increase
overall productivity anywhere in the world," Mr.Hilbert added.
In addition to its GPS system, the product's built-in altimeter and
E-compass provide advanced accurate positioning features such as latitude and
longitude, and altitude, as well as the ability to provide directional
relations between the targeted subject and the user's position. The PS236
also features comprehensive wireless connectivity options, including HSDPA
wireless WAN communication, integrated Bluetooth V2.0 and WLAN b/g WiFi. Users
can connect the PS236 to a GIS server and instantly transmit or process data
in the field using its built-in real-time voice function or a Getac Bluetooth
modem.
The PS236 handheld PDA is perfectly suited for GIS surveying applications
across different sectors including utilities, oil and gas, forest patrol, and
surveying and mapping of geology and mineral resources. The built-in camera
enables instant visual data capture on-site. The high resolution, 3.5" VGA
touch screen display with sunlight readability and Transflective Panel
technology dramatically enhances the viewing quality of graphic-intensive
files and detailed maps in bright sunlight or snowy conditions.
The Getac PS236 features Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system. Measuring a
mere 7.0 x 3.5 x 1.5-inches, the PS236 can operate at full capacity for up to
10-hours on a fully-charged battery. The unit is MIL-STD 810G compliant and
IP67 rated for dust and water resistance. The Getac PS236 makes it easy to
transfer data and does not require the need to learn the system.
Getac will be exhibiting its rugged computing products and making the
debut of PS236 at the world's largest GIS tradeshow- Intergeo 2009 from the
22nd to 24th September at Messe Karlsruhe, Hall 1, stand 1.508. For more
