Getac's Innovative B360 and B360 Pro Laptops
Getac Technology Corporation has unveiled its next-generation B360 and B360 Pro laptops, two models that elevate rugged computing by integrating powerful AI-ready technology with exceptional reliability. These devices are the first fully rugged laptops equipped with the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 2 processors and Intel® AI Boost technology, targeting professional users across various sectors including public safety, utilities, and defense.
Unleashing AI-Ready Performance
The B360 and B360 Pro are engineered to provide users with high speed, real-time processing capabilities powered by on-device Edge AI. This technology allows for rapid completion of tasks, enhancing productivity, especially in environments where data security and instantaneous processing are crucial. For instance, in evaluations, applications running on the B360 transformed lengthy texts into comprehensive reports in mere seconds. This feature significantly contrasts with cloud-based AI solutions, providing superior operational efficiency and reducing latency issues.
Equipped with versatile I/O options, these laptops include up to two Thunderbolt™ 4 ports, enabling lightning-fast data transfers. Moreover, the LifeSupport hot-swappable battery technology minimizes downtime by allowing users to replace batteries without powering down the device. With WiFi 7 capabilities, users can enjoy data transfer rates that are five times faster than previous WiFi iterations, combined with a 60% reduction in latency.
The B360 Pro comes standard with dual high-capacity batteries, and users can even select an optional NVIDIA Quadro RTX A500 4GB discrete graphics controller for demanding visual tasks, all while maintaining processing performance. Another notable feature is the optional media bay which can support an additional SSD for a total of up to 6TB of storage, positioning it as an invaluable tool for data-intensive applications.
Tailored for Specific Industry Needs
Both the B360 and B360 Pro offer a variety of configurations, allowing customers to customize their devices according to specific industry requirements. For public safety professionals, precise situational awareness is crucial, and Getac devices can be personalized with software features such as Getac Geolocation for improved location accuracy. Added security measures, including multiple authentication options like RFID readers and fingerprint scanners, ensure that sensitive data remains secure while allowing for seamless access during field operations.
For utility professionals who rely on mobile GIS and surveying in challenging conditions, the B360 is designed with MIL-STD-810H and IP66 ratings, signifying its durability against harsh environments. Accessory options such as secure carry bags and GPS utility software facilitate efficient operations even in remote areas.
Defense professionals, on the other hand, require reliable command and control capabilities, and the B360 Pro targets this demand with options like secure vehicle docks that can convert any vehicle into a mobile command station. Extended battery life ensures uninterrupted operation during critical missions, while functionality can be expanded with additional PCMCIA readers.
A Commitment to Innovation
James Hwang, President of Getac Technology Corporation, highlights the increasing importance of AI technology across various sectors. He stresses that the new features developed by collaborating with industry stakeholders are intended to enhance field operation efficiencies. Both laptops are anticipated to meet the growing demand for rugged Edge AI devices, further promoting AI adoption across public safety, utilities, and defense.
Set to launch in April, Getac’s B360 and B360 Pro laptops represent a significant evolution in rugged technology, providing robust, customizable solutions designed to tackle industry-specific challenges while improving productivity and data security.
