TAIPEI, April 20, 2023 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

News in brief:

- The next generation B360 and B360 Pro feature powerful Intel Core 12th

generation i5/i7 processors, along with optional NVIDIA GeForce graphics

controller, providing a benchmark performance up to 2.8x faster than the

previous generation.1

- Both devices offer Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and optional 4G LTE and 5G sub-6

for convenient connectivity for remote workers.

- The new B360 is designed for challenging field-based industries such as

public safety, utility field services and manufacturing, while the new B360 Pro

is ideally suited to defence professionals

Getac has today announced the launch of its next generation B360 and B360 Pro

fully rugged laptops, delivering exceptional connectivity, reliability, and

computing performance to professionals working in challenging environments

every day.

Enhanced specification for superior real-world performance

The next generation B360 and B360 pro laptops feature a wide range of upgrades

and refinements to make difficult computing tasks simple, even in demanding

conditions.

Key features include an upgraded Intel Core 12th generation i5/i7 processor

with integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, for remarkable performance,

responsiveness, and rich visuals. A 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD as standard (with

option of up to 4TB) offers ample storage, while the 13.3" FHD LumiBond®

display with Getac Sunlight Readable Technology (1,400 nits) and capacitive

touchscreen helps maintain productivity around the clock.

The B360 Pro takes this even further, with optional NVIDIA GeForce GTX1650 4GB

discrete graphics controller, plus an optional media bay that can accommodate a

third SATA SSD (for up to 6TB storage capacity), third battery, or a DVD drive

as required.

In real-world terms, this makes complex tasks like performance monitoring and

quality control in the manufacturing industry quicker, easier, and more

reliable to perform. For public safety and defence professionals, the B360 and

B360 Pro's rapid analysis capabilities can be used to boost situational

awareness and data sharing both up and down the chain of command.

True mobile connectivity

Both the new B360 and B360 Pro also offer extensive connectivity options,

keeping users connected in even remote or isolated environments. These include

Wi-Fi 6E AX211, 802.11ax, and Bluetooth 5.3 as standard, as well as optional 4G

LTE or 5G Sub-6 with integrated GPS.

This high level of connectivity is playing an increasingly critical role in

day-to-day activity for many field-based professionals. For example, gas

engineers attending call outs must reliably connect to base directly from

customers' homes, wherever they are, in order to deliver the high levels of

services expected. Similarly, maintenance workers performing preventive

maintenance often need to obtain schematics, generate POs, check inventory, and

even coordinate with colleagues via live video chat to quickly resolve on-site

problems.

Maximum productivity in the field

The new B360 and B360 Pro deliver even better versatility in the field compared

to previous models. New features include an upgraded USB 3.2 port, a

ThunderboltTM 4 Type-C port, an upgraded HDMI 2.0 port, as well as the addition

of a mini-SIM card slot. Both devices also feature dual hot swappable

batteries, while the B360 Pro has the option of a third battery if required.

These features are designed to help large field services teams maintain 24/7

productivity levels by enabling them to connect to a wide range of legacy

infrastructure without the need for external adaptors. The inclusion of

multiple hot swappable batteries as standard also helps avoid time being wasted

while team members wait for devices to recharge mid-shift.

Reliable, portable, secure

Like all Getac devices, the new B360 and B360 Pro are built rugged from the

ground up for excellent reliability in the field. Both devices include

MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461G, and IP66 certification, as well as drop resistance

up to 6ft (1.8m).

Despite this rugged build quality, they weigh in at an impressively light

2.32kg. Their compact form factor also means they can be easily carried on foot

in the field or docked/stored in a compartment while travelling in a vehicle.

Additionally, both devices feature numerous advanced data security features.

These include a range of multi-factor authentication options (Windows Hello

Webcam, HF RFID, smartcard, and fingerprint readers), optional Absolute

Persistence software, and user replaceable PCIe NVMe SSD storage, to keep

sensitive data protected at all times.

Available as a comprehensive Getac Select rugged solution

The next generation B360 and B360 Pro are available as part of a comprehensive

Getac Select® total solution, which includes all the hardware, software,

accessories and peripherals needed to resolve a range of industry specific

challenges right out of the box. This includes a selection of secure office and

vehicle docks, alongside Getac's proprietary Driving Safety Utility, Device

Monitoring System, and VGPS Utility software.

Both devices also come with Getac's industry leading 3-year Bumper-to-Bumper

warranty, featuring accidental damage cover as standard, for additional peace

of mind.

"The next generation of our B360 and B360 Pro devices are designed to help

customers achieve even greater levels of productivity across their workforces,

both in and out of the field," says James Hwang, President of Getac Technology

Corporation. "The combination of fully rugged design, powerful specifications,

extensive connectivity and compact form factor helps ensure difficult tasks get

completed at first time of asking, regardless of the situation, location, or

weather conditions."
