Getac Technology has been named by two new IDC MarketScape reports as a worldwide leader in rugged mobile devices, tablets and PCs. 

The reports "IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Rugged Mobile Devices 2023 Vendor Assessment and IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Tablet and PC 2023 Vendor Assessment" noted: "Despite challenges, the future of rugged mobility is secure. Rugged devices perform tasks that consumer-grade devices cannot, and they excel in highly specialised enterprise workflows." 

"As more businesses seek to enable larger segments of their workforce, frontline workers present a clear opportunity for growth," stated the report.  

Getac Technology Corporation is a rugged mobile technology and intelligent video solutions, including laptops, tablets, software, body-worn cameras, in-car video systems, digital evidence management and enterprise video analytics solutions. 

Getac's solutions and services are designed to enable extraordinary experiences for frontline workers in challenging environments. Today, Getac serves customers in over 100 countries spanning defence, public safety, ambulance, fire & rescue, utilities, automotive, natural resources, manufacturing, transport, and logistics.

James Hwang, President of Getac Technology Corporation, says: "We believe these results are further proof of Getac's leadership in setting the standard in rugged computing devices, software, accessories, and professional services tailored to each customer." 

"We collaborate proactively with our customers to resolve operational challenges at every level to ensure performance in extreme working environments." 

"This results in a lower total cost of ownership because Getac devices are designed from the ground up to handle challenging conditions," says Hwang.  

The IDC MarketScape noted: "Enterprise organisations that require either Android- or Windows-based fully rugged solutions designed for a multitude of frontline use cases should consider Getac high on their list of rugged device providers."  

Additional specific strengths of Getac featured in the reports include its extensive solutions portfolio: "Getac offers an extensive portfolio of rugged hardware that is differentiated across multiple OSs, form factors, and screen sizes." 

"In addition, Getac has differentiated offerings in rugged in-car video and body-worn cameras not offered by its direct competitors. These adjacent offerings create potential for additional expansion into public safety and law enforcement," stated the report.

Furthermore, its vertically integrated supply chain was highlighted: "Getac designs and manufactures its own products and works with Getac Holdings' subsidiaries to make key critical components, including motherboards, batteries, mobile computing chassis, and copolymer mechanical components for a vertically integrated supply chain."

The report also noted Getac's participation in the Android Enterprise Recommended program, which ensures "Its Android devices will receive timely security updates and OS support during deployment life cycles."
