Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) has announced the Latitude 7220 Rugged Extreme tablet, built to meet the demands of workers in harsh environments; from the factory floor to ambulances, desert sandstorms to Arctic conditions.
The light and powerful rugged 12” tablet is designed to provide the mobility and connectivity to help field users stay productive; its durability offering peace of mind for those in some of the dirtiest, wettest, most challenging and most critical workplaces. Updated features include an enhanced 1000 NIT FHD display with anti-glare coatings, allowing customers to access and showcase their work even when out in direct sunlight. The screen is also glove responsive and multi-touch capable.
Secure and reliable communication is a priority for first responders, public safety organisations and service utilities’ organisations that need to operate when everything else is down. That’s why the Latitude 7220 Rugged Extreme was designed to offer a broad range of connectivity options. This connectivity, combined with the built-in camera, means the ability to make video calls and stream data from the field – connecting users to the critical information they need in every emergency.
