Getac becomes first manufacturer to bring integrated LiFi technology to rugged mobile computing market
Previously, users wishing to capitalise on the benefits of LiFi technology had to rely on a USB dongle plugged into the side of their device. This approach is highly vulnerable to even the slightest knock or drop, making it unviable in many working environments, such as those found in the defence, public safety, automotive, energy and manufacturing sectors. With this announcement, users across these sectors will be able to purchase a fully rugged solution with LiFi technology fully integrated into the device. The first Getac device to offer integrated LiFi capability will be the recently launched UX10 fully rugged tablet.
LiFi (Light Fidelity) technology uses light to transmit data rather than radio frequency, which is the case with traditional technologies such as WiFi, LTE, 4G, 5G etc. This innovative approach has a number of benefits over RF-based technologies including:
The combination of rugged reliability and LiFi connectivity unlocks a series of powerful new applications across a range of sectors. These include:
"At Getac, we work with a huge range of customers across multiple sectors, many of whom have very specific technology requirements and challenges," says Rick Hwang President of Rugged & Video Solutions Business Group at Getac. "Today's announcement once again demonstrates our commitment to solving these challenges by combining powerful new technologies such as LiFi with our proven rugged devices, to create industry leading solutions that excel in even the most adverse operational environments."
Getac Technology Corporation, a key subsidiary of MiTAC-Synnex Business Group (2019 annual revenue $40 billion USD ), was established in 1989 as a joint venture with GE Aerospace to supply defence electronic products. Today, Getac's business coverage includes rugged notebooks and tablet solutions, not only for the military, but also for the automotive and process industry, the police, fire departments as well as utility, manufacturing, transportation and logistics customers.
