IECEx(https://www.getac.com/intl/certifications/atex-iecex/) Zone 2/22

hazardous environments. The launch means Getac now offers ATEX and IECEx

options for three of its popular Windows-based rugged tablets –

UX10-EX(https://www.getac.com/intl/products/tablets/ux10-ex/), F110-EX and

K120-EX(https://www.getac.com/intl/products/tablets/k120-ex/) – for customers

looking to digitally transform key aspects of their operations.

Powerful performance

The F110-EX boasts the same powerful specification as the recently unveiled

next-generation

F110(https://www.getac.com/en/news/getacs-next-generation-f110-delivers-industry

-leading-power-brightness-and-rugged-performance-in-a-compact-tablet-form-factor

/). Features include an 11th generation Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor with

integrated Iris(R) Xe Graphics, PCIe NVMe SSD storage as default, WLAN Wi-Fi 6

for 3x faster data speed over previous generations, Bluetooth 5.2 and 4G LTE

WWAN. An integrated ThunderboltTM 4 port provides a 40 Gb/s connection for

expanded end-to-end solution capabilities, while its 11.6" LumiBond(R) 2.0

screen offers exceptional brightness (1000 nits) and readability in all weather

conditions

Intrinsically safe design

On top of this, the F110-EX features a range of intrinsically safe design

elements that enable it to meet stringent ATEX and IECEx certification

standards for use in Zone 2/22 hazardous environments. These include rubber

coverings on guide pins and exposed metal parts, enclosed connectors and screen

protection, helping to eliminate the risk of electrical sparks that could

potentially ignite explosive atmospheres.

Built rugged from the ground up

Like all Getac devices, the F110-EX is also built rugged from the ground up.

MIL-STD-810H and IP66 certification, drop resistance from four feet while in

use and an operating temperature range of -21°C to +60°C (-6°F to 140°F) all

provide further peace of mind and help optimise user productivity.

The ideal solution for hazardous work environments

The F110-EX's rugged performance, compact form factor and intrinsically safe

design make it ideally suited to professionals working in challenging,

potentially hazardous environments such as those found in the mining, oil and

gas, chemical and manufacturing industries. Below is a series of potential use

cases:

-Mining – Mineshaft safety inspections

Safety plays a huge role in mining operations, where the potential presence of

flammable gases or dust can pose major challenges. The F110-EX's intrinsically

safe design, wide operational temperature range, rugged reliability, and long

battery life make it ideally suited to key tasks like mine shaft inspection,

helping to keep workers safe while they carry out their duties.

-Oil and Gas – Site surveying and data collection

Digital data collection and analysis is a key part of modern oil and gas

operations, helping to optimise productivity, manage assets and avoid unplanned

downtime. The F110-EX's 11.6" sunlight readable screen, optional barcode/RFID

reader, FHD webcam, and 8MP rear camera simplify field data collection, while

optional GPS and powerful connectivity options make sending/receiving

information from remote sites quick and easy.

-Manufacturing – Chemical and pharmaceutical plant monitoring

Chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing can be tough on IT equipment, while

many facilities often carry the added risk of explosive gas or dust potentially

being present. The F110-EX's rugged reliability and powerful connectivity help

maximise operational efficiency at all times, while its intrinsically safe

technology protects employees from explosive hazards in ATEX and IECEx Zone

2/22 environments.

"Worker safety must always be a top priority and stringent standards like ATEX

and IECEx serve as a strong benchmark for organisations operating in

particularly hazardous sectors," says Rick Hwang, President of Getac Technology

Corporation. "Our extensive range of fully rugged, ATEX and IECEx Zone 2/22

tablets demonstrates our ongoing commitment to worker safety, while also

providing customers with a choice of solutions that help them to meet their own

unique needs and challenges."

The F110-EX also comes with Getac's three-year bumper-to-bumper

warranty(https://www.getac.com/intl/help-support/warranty/), covering

accidental damage as standard. This industry leading warranty helps customers

maintain operational efficiency by getting their devices quickly back up and

running without the worry of additional cost or extended downtime should the

unexpected happen.
