Getac Announces Fully Rugged Notebooks and Tablet PCS Receive MIL-STD-810G, MIL-STD-461F And IP65 Military Certification

Getac Products Surpass Rigorous Test Processes for Heat/Cold, Sand/Dust and Water to Ensure Outstanding Performance in Any Environment

TELFORD, England, November 17 - Getac, a leading innovator and manufacturer of rugged computers that meet
the demands of field-based applications, announced that its line of notebook
computers and Tablet PCs has been MIL-STD-810G, MIL-STD-461F and IP65
certified by an independent testing lab to withstand severe environmental
conditions. These standards were established by the military to ensure
minimum performance standards for any product used by agencies and
organizations within the Department of Defense.

To ensure absolute performance in any environment, Getac conducts its own
internal testing processes with standards that go beyond those established by
the Department of Defense on their line of rugged notebooks and Tablet PCs.
Making sure the products withstand real-world environments and challenges in
the field is top priority. As a result, Getac's products surpassed grueling
test in the certification process including a series of 78 consecutive drops
from as high as 6 feet, sustained exposure to blowing rain, sand, and dust,
exposure to extreme heat, cold, and condensation, and a variety of shock and
vibration testing.

Getac products receiving MIL-STD-810G certification include its A790,
B300, and M230 rugged notebooks, V100 rugged convertible notebook, E100
rugged Tablet PC, and PS535 rugged Handheld.

In addition to receiving MIL-STD-810G certification, the B300 Notebook,
V100 Convertible, and PS535F GPS Handheld each received Ingress Protection
(IP65) certification for dust and water resistance. Conducted by a recognized
independent laboratory testing facility, the IP6x testing (for dust) was
conducted in a dust chamber for 8 hours using talcum powder with units in the
Off position. The IPx5 testing (for water) was conducted by using pressurized
water from every conceivable angle at a rate of 3.3 gallons per minute.

Getac's B300 / M230 / A790 Notebooks, and V100 Convertible also received
MIL-STD-461F certification for immunity against magnetic fields.

"We are pleased that our rugged computing products exceeded military
certification standards as well as our own standards which are often more
strict than those imposed by the Department of Defense," explains Peter
Molyneux, Business Development Director, Getac UK. "Receiving these
independent certifications, along with our recent announcement of Resistive
Multi-touch technology, assures our customers that Getac continues to offer
innovative products that can endure and perform under the most extreme
environmental conditions," Molyneux added.
