Railway services pretty much define the term “challenging work environment.” Transportation systems go everywhere – all kinds of terrain, sometimes miles from anywhere, operating in every environment, climate and season. This is no place for smartphones or consumer-grade PDAs or tablets; the only tool that makes sense is one that can handle the rigors of work in the field.
Ruggedized handhelds are built to take the punishment of the variable conditions where rail and railway infrastructure exists. They meet military standards for withstanding drops, vibration, and exposure to dust and water. They can operate in temperature extremes, stand up to rain, snow, wind and sun, and work all day.
