Frequently Asked Questions
1. What military standards does the AT70 Rugged Tablet meet?
The AT70 is designed and tested to meet MIL-STD-810 for environmental durability and MIL-STD-461 for electromagnetic compatibility. These standards ensure the tablet performs reliably under extreme temperatures, vibration, humidity, shock, and EMI/EMC conditions encountered in defence and aerospace operations.
2. Can the 7-inch rugged tablet operate in extreme environments?
Yes. The AT70 is engineered for temperature ranges from –10 °C to +55 °C (optional –40 °C). In addition, altitudes up to 40,000 ft, and high shock and vibration environments. It also resists salt fog, sand, dust, and fungus, making it ideal for land, sea, and air missions.
3. What IP rating does the tablet have?
While the AT70 is fully sealed and ruggedised for harsh environments. ArgonFDS specifies its protection in MIL-STD-810 test results rather than a commercial IP code. The design provides protection equivalent to IP65 or better, depending on configuration.
4. What processors and operating systems are available?
Powered by an Intel® i7 processor, the AT70 supports Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, Windows 11 Professional, or Linux. Therefore, offering the performance, security, and reliability required for mission-critical defence and industrial systems.
5. Can the AT70 Rugged Tablet be customised for specific defence applications?
Absolutely. The AT70 can be configured with different connector types. Such as MIL-DTL-38999, Glenair Mighty Mouse®, Fischer, power inputs, and mounting options. Users can set the display brightness and choose I/O and communication interfaces. These include Ethernet, RS-232, USB, GPS, or Wi-Fi to fit their system.
