Getac's Next Generation B360 and B360 Pro: Redefining Rugged Laptops for Professionals
Getac Technology Corporation has officially launched its new B360 and B360 Pro fully rugged laptops, designed specifically for professionals working in demanding environments such as public safety, utilities, and defense. Equipped with Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 2 processors and Intel® AI Boost technology, these laptops are built to enhance operational efficiency and performance in real-time processing scenarios.
Robust Performance with Advanced Features
Both models incorporate innovative Edge AI capabilities, enabling users to quickly execute tasks on-device without having to rely on cloud processing. This unique advantage allows for enhanced data privacy and security, making them the ideal choice for situations that require high confidentiality and real-time performance. For example, the B360 model dramatically reduces report generation times, converting extensive text into comprehensive reports in mere seconds during practical evaluations with Getac's clients.
In addition to AI advancements, the B360 and B360 Pro also feature an impressive array of connectivity options, including up to two Thunderbolt™ 4 ports which facilitate rapid data transfer. The laptops are equipped with LifeSupport hot-swappable battery technology, which allows professionals to change batteries without powering down the device, thereby maximizing uptime during critical operations. Furthermore, the introduction of WiFi 7 improves data speeds significantly, providing up to five times faster connectivity compared to its predecessor, WiFi 6.
Customization for Specific Industry Needs
Getac has also focused on providing customizable options to ensure their devices can be tailored to specific industry requirements. Both the B360 and B360 Pro can be modified through various hardware, software, and accessory options, making it possible for organizations to create bespoke configurations that cater specifically to their operational needs. Here are some illustrative applications of these capabilities:
- - Public Safety: For professionals in law enforcement, situational awareness is critical. Customers can enhance their B360 laptops with geolocation software for accurate location tracking and implement multiple authentication layers such as RFID readers and fingerprint scanners to secure access and data integrity. Accessories like high-capacity batteries and secure vehicle docks further augment the usability of these devices in the field.
- - Utility Sector: The B360 is perfectly suited for mobile GIS, surveying, and mapping tasks, especially in remote or adverse conditions. It comes with robust certifications (MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461G, and IP66) and 6-foot drop resistance, making it reliable for utilities professionals. The inclusion of specific software tools helps manage multiple GPS applications simultaneously, providing an efficient solution to their operational challenges.
- - Defense Applications: The B360 Pro is tailored for defense professionals needing real-time intelligence and secure communication channels. Its extended battery life is designed for uninterrupted field operations, and its capability to support additional features like dual PCMCIA readers increases its functionality and adaptability on mission-critical tasks.
Aiming to Lead in Edge AI Adoption
As innovations in open-source and Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models rise, Getac's collaboration with industry customers has catalyzed the development of specialized AI applications, maximizing operational efficiency for their users. "These enhancements will undoubtedly facilitate the increasing demand for rugged Edge AI devices like the B360 and B360 Pro, further fostering AI adoption within the public safety, utilities, and defense sectors," stated Charlie Gibbs, Director of Product Solutions at Getac North America.
