Helping global leaders rapidly launch next generation products on latest open source and proprietary platforms
Design of Rugged devices is increasingly based on open source software platforms. OEMs, therefore need to keep pace with the constant evolution of software platforms as well as ecosystem partners to incorporate sensors, connectivity and other hardware to provide best integration with enterprise applications.
Increasing demand for rugged, yet consumer-grade, continues to challenge the market. There is pressure to be thinner, lighter and faster – but also to contain multiple ports, have adequate battery life and the ability to function in all-weather environments.
