Panasonic Solutions Company, manufacturer of durable, reliable
Panasonic Toughbook® mobile computers, today introduced the
Panasonic Toughbook 31, the most powerful fully-rugged notebook
computer on the market. With an Intel® Core™ i5 or i3 processor,
1,100 nit touchscreen display and rugged certifications beyond
MIL-STD-810G and IP65, the new device enables superior data access
and productivity for any mobile professional facing extreme
environments. These professionals include first responders,
military personnel, and field workers in industries such as
telecommunications, utilities and energy.
Desktop-Class Performance in a Fully-Rugged Notebook
The Toughbook 31 is the sixth generation of flagship Toughbook
clamshell notebooks, which have become the gold standard of rugged
computing over the past 14 years, boasting the lowest failure rates
in the industry. Now, powered by a new Intel® Core™ i5 or i3
processor, the Toughbook 31 offers desktop-class performance
alongside world-class reliability. The availability of discrete
graphics from an ATI Radeon™ HD 5650 card also delivers significant
improvements in 3D graphics, important for GIS and other
graphic-rich applications.
The Toughbook 31 continues Panasonic’s tradition of delivering
no-compromise, reliable computing for mission critical users.
Additional processing power using the Core i5 is made possible by a
unique new hybrid cooling system that keeps the internal
temperature down while still maintaining optimal protection from
liquids, dust and other environmental hazards. The Toughbook 31
provides unrivaled ruggedness and shock protection, and is
certified to MIL-STD-810G and beyond. The notebook is protected
from drops of up to six feet and has achieved an IP65 rating for
unparalleled protection from water and dust.
“The Toughbook 31 combines the best of three worlds – mobility,
performance and ruggedness,” said Erik Reid, mobile client
marketing director, Intel Corporation. “This is achieved by
combining the high performance of the Intel® Core™ i5 and i3
Processor technology with the ruggedness of the Panasonic design
which enables users to perform compute intensive applications in
almost any kind of conditions.”
Brighter Touchscreen, Long Battery Life
The Toughbook 31 includes a 13.1-inch XGA LCD touchscreen and is
available with Panasonic CircuLumin™ technology, allowing for
full-circle viewability from the brightest sunlight to pitch
darkness. The notebook features the brightest standard screen
available, at 1,100 nits, but can drop as low as 2 nits for
concealed nighttime use which is critical to the safety of military
and public safety users.
By leveraging Panasonic’s advanced battery technology, the
Toughbook 31 offers up to 11 hours of battery life despite its
brighter screen and more powerful processor. New LED backlighting
generates lower power consumption and delivers superior performance
in cold weather. Charging time has been significantly reduced as
well: the battery fully charges up to 47 percent faster than its
predecessor, the Toughbook 30.
Extensive Embedded Mobile Broadband Options
Panasonic has over 14 years experience designing embedded
wireless products to provide customers with superior mobile
connectivity and throughput. The Toughbook 31, like all Toughbook
mobile computers, helps maximize mobile productivity through a
variety of embedded wireless technologies. Each device combines
Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth® v2.1 +EDR, with an option for
WiMAX capability and Gobi2000™ mobile broadband technology from
Qualcomm. Gobi simplifies complex multi-carrier wireless
deployments for IT departments and allows improved connectivity
options for mobile employees traveling at home or abroad. By
combining embedded mobile broadband technology with the Toughbook
31’s new optional built-in webcam, workers can easily transmit
video in real-time from anywhere back to their field office or
dispatch.
“As richer data becomes more available to first-responders and
field workers, greater computing power is needed without
sacrificing ruggedness,” said Rance M. Poehler, president,
Panasonic Solutions Company. “Like all of our products, the
Toughbook 31 was designed based on vast customer input because the
performance of each device is mission-critical. The Toughbook 31 is
the first device of its kind to perfectly blend performance and
durability. It combines the speed of a desktop computer with the
reliability of a rugged mobile computer, helping end-users work
with richer data in a variety of challenging environments. The
no-compromise approach of Panasonic’s engineers enables us to
deliver the industry’s best display with the long battery life our
customers have always valued.”
Platform Stability Lowers TCO
In accordance with customers’ requests, the Toughbook 31
maintains a platform footprint virtually identical to past flagship
products. This marks 11 consecutive years of consistent vehicle
docking capabilities, allowing customers to upgrade Toughbook
computers without replacing vehicle docks, and significantly
lowering the total cost of ownership.
The Toughbook 31 also supports numerous security features,
including options for an insertable SmartCard reader and
fingerprint reader, using biometrics to protect mission-critical
data.
