Getac ZX80 AI-ready rugged tablet

Getac has launched the ZX80, an AI-ready, 8″ rugged tablet, powered by the Android operating system.

The ZX80 has been purpose-built for challenging work environments, from busy warehouses and logistics hubs to remote field locations and outdoor facilities. Its lightweight form factor (590 g), wide operating temperature range (-29 to 63°C) and bright 1000-nit 16:10 aspect ratio screen makes it suitable for key tasks such as forklift truck operation and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control, where device performance and reliability are critical. MIL-STD-810H certification, IP67 certification and 1.8 m drop resistance further show it can stand up to the rigours of intensive field work.

For users who need full-shift functionality while working away from charging facilities, the ZX80 is also compatible with Getac’s hot-swappable battery technology, enabling users to switch additional batteries quickly and easily while in the field.

Key features include a dual SIM design (one physical SIM and one eSIM), which allows for rapid switching between carrier networks, while Wi-Fi 6E 802.11ax, Bluetooth v5.2 and an optional dedicated global positioning system (GPS) offer rapid data transfer and location positioning capabilities. The ZX80 can also be configured with 4G/5G LTE, NFC and a barcode reader to fit different applications as needed.

The ZX80’s Qualcomm QCS6490 processor delivers high performance at lower power levels, and the tablet is also AI-ready, taking advantage of Qualcomm’s AI engine to offer on-device machine learning and the ability to run AI use cases while maintaining battery life.
