PROVEN RUGGED IN THE REAL WORLD
RUGGED DESIGN
Through the engineering development and commercialization of five generations of fully-rugged tablet solu-
tions, Xplore has refined a customer feedback methodology that is an integral part of the overall product
development model. Through an aggregation of customer inputs, research and development, extensive
rugged testing and – most importantly – real-world field experience, the iX104C5 incorporates a number of
innovative and advanced rugged design elements:
