Rugged Tablets

The best rugged tablet is designed from the ground-up, including the circuitry and packaging, with an associated operating system modified to match. That is the SECO USA approach.

Each SECO tablet leverages SECO commercial off the shelf (COTS) embedded computer circuitry to develop a customized embedded computing platform optimized for tablet applications. A full range of standard tablet features include USB, Wi-Fi, BT, GPS, cellular modem, brightness and volume control, touchscreen input, internal battery charging, and sensors such as accelerometer and magnetometer. Specialized interfaces, such as Ethernet, serial (RS-232, RS-422, I2C, SPI), CAN, GPIO, mPCIe or M.2, and other signals are added – to provide a flexible platform for real world applications.

Ergonomic but rugged enclosures with IP67 connectors and buttons provide military-tough tablet operation. Impact resistant sunlight readable displays with capacitive and resistive touch options 
SECO tablets are supported by customized operating systems which match hardware-level features and enhance security. ARM tablets feature Linux and Android, with source code available. Other operating systems, such as VxWorks real time operating system (RTOS) are possible. 

True security is integral to the ground-up tablet design. SECO USA tablets feature hardware-level tamper detection, secure boot, and direct boot into an application (Kiosk mode). Security Enhanced (SE) Android and SE Linux libraries are available. 
Environmental specifications include extended temperature, severe shock/vibration, drop, liquid submersion (including IP67), and others according to MIL-STD-810G. Electromagnetic compatibility specifications include FCC Part 15 (and foreign equivalents) and MIL-STD-461F. Flame retardant, shatter-proof, and disinfectant/caustic compatible materials are available.
