Motion Computing F5m and C5m tablet PCs

Motion Computing has released two tablet PCs purpose-built for the needs of utility, oil and gas, mining, manufacturing, public safety and healthcare workforces.

The F5m and C5m rugged Windows-based tablets make field workers more productive by increasing efficiency, helping to reduce data capture errors and improving real-time communication capability resulting in better decision-making and labour cost savings.

Designed to deliver connectivity when it matters most, the F5m and C5m tablets include new ultrahigh-speed 4G XLTE broadband radios that equip mobile workers with twice the bandwidth to boost productivity capabilities in the field. In combination with the tablets’ integrated 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology for local access network connectivity, the devices’ mobile broadband solution ensures reliable voice and data support in both high-traffic urban locales and remote job sites.

The F5m and C5m feature an optional self-encrypting drive (due Q2 2015), and the security profile is further enhanced with the inclusion of WinMagic’s SecureDoc full disk encryption software and the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) as standard features. Additional theft recovery protection and remote manageability options are also available with the optional Absolute Computrace add-on.

Motion has also given the F5m and C5m series a significant upgrade that delivers high-end, lasting processing power. The addition of 5th Gen IntelCore processors (Broadwell-U 2+3), including the highest performing i7 vPro chipset, provides the power to quickly move through computation-intensive applications, while increasing overall power efficiency. Paired with the ability to hot-swap the battery in the field, the F5m and C5m series tablets give you the power needed to stay productive for the duration of the job.

Motion’s tablets further preserve IT investments by enabling customers to leverage existing application software, back-office integration, security and mobile device management infrastructure. Support for both Windows 7 Professional and Windows 8.1 Pro protects customers now and in the future. By also providing backward compatibility with existing peripherals, Motion customers can refresh ageing F5 or C5 platforms and continue to use the workflow-enabling peripherals they purchased with earlier generations of the tablet.

The F5m Tablet’s durability is backed by its MIL-STD-810G certification for ruggedness, IP54 certification against dust and water ingress, and CID2 certification for use in hazardous environments where explosive gases may be present.
