PS236 handheld Windows Mobile PDA
Getac's ultra-rugged PS236 handheld Windows Mobile PDA offers full accreditation to Atex (category 3/zone 2), which makes this device safely usable in environments with an explosive atmosphere.
The Getac PS236 is said to be the fastest device of its kind at 806mhz and is also claimed to be the only handheld PDA that is IP67 rated and a phone.
This upgrade extends the market for the device from military and general field-based operations to include the gas, oil and chemical industries.
In addition to IP67 certification, which gives a guaranteed ingress protection against dust and allows the unit to be waterproof to 1m, the PS236 has full MIL-STD-810G certification, which is the generally accepted standard of military ruggedisation and compliance for mobile computers and equipment.
The ultra-rugged Windows Mobile PDA comes with integrated GPS, an altimeter, an auto-focus 3 megapixel camera, an e-compass, and a hi-res display for GIS surveying and other GPS/mapping-based applications.
