Panasonic Toughpad

Panasonic Toughpad is a series of tablet computers developed and designed by Panasonic as a subset of its series of Toughbook rugged computers.[1] The first Toughpad was unveiled on November 7, 2011 in the United States.[2] [3]

Toughpad tablets feature a fully rugged design certified to meet IP65 and MIL-STD-810G specifications for drops (up to 4 feet), shock, vibration, altitude, humidity and extreme temperatures. Built to most of the same specifications as the Toughbook line, they are designed for professional use and are used in a wide variety of industries, including construction, defense, public safety, emergency services, government, healthcare, law enforcement, manufacturing, oil & gas and telecom/utilities. They offer features not commonly found on consumer-oriented tablets and are ruggedized to withstand vibration, drops, spills, extreme temperature, and rough handling.[4] Toughpad tablets are designed for lower failure rates than standard business devices, translating to less downtime, fewer repair expenses and a lower total cost of ownership.[5]
