Rugged laptops and tablets that hold up in the field
From patrol cars to fleet cabs, warehouses, and job sites, the right rugged device is the one matched to the work, mounted to survive the vehicle, and supported when it counts. Sector specs the laptop or tablet, engineers the install, and stands behind it for the life of the deployment.
THE COST OF FAILURE
A consumer laptop is a liability in the field
The job is hard on hardware. A device rides through potholes and vibration, gets used in rain and dust and direct sun, sits in a cab that bakes in summer and freezes in winter, and gets handled with gloves or dropped on concrete. A consumer laptop or tablet was never built for any of that, and it shows: cracked screens, dead batteries, displays nobody can read at noon, and units that fail six months in.
When the device quits, the work stops. For a patrol officer that is a report that cannot be filed and a record that never gets captured. For a fleet it is a truck that cannot run its route, a driver locked out of dispatch, and a missed delivery. The cost is rarely the device itself. It is the downtime, the rushed replacement, and the job that did not get done.
A rugged device is built to standards that consumer hardware is not, so it keeps working where the work happens. But the device alone is not the answer. It has to be the right class for the job, mounted and powered so it survives the vehicle, connected so it reaches back, and supported when something goes wrong. That is the part Sector handles.
WHO THIS SERVES
Public Safety
Rugged computing for law enforcement →
Patrol, command, and the in-car office
The deepest version of the build. A rugged laptop or tablet specced as the mobile office, mounted in a layout that protects the unit and keeps the officer reach zone clear, with mobile printing, barcode scanning, and the power and connectivity to run a full shift. Where the vehicle also runs video, the computer becomes the interface to the in-car and body-worn evidence workflow. Built to your department standards, installed and supported by Sector.
Fire & EMS
Talk to a Specialist →
Apparatus, ambulance, and patient care
Fire and EMS lean on tablets and convertibles more than patrol does, used in the apparatus, the ambulance, and at the patient side, where the device meets water, heat, decon, and gloves and still has to run reporting and patient-care software. The need is real and specific to the rig and the role. Tell us what you run and what it has to do, and Sector will spec it.
Commercial & Fleet
Rugged computing for commercial and fleet →
Field, fleet, and warehouse
For trucking and logistics, field service, utilities, construction, and warehouse operations, rugged devices keep crews working where consumer hardware quits. An in-cab tablet for a Freightliner, a pole-mounted unit on a forklift, a laptop for the field, each matched to the environment and installed with the mount, power, and connectivity to work on day one. Downtime is lost revenue, and Sector builds to prevent it.
Adventure & Overland
Talk to us →
Rigs and mobile offices
If you are building an overland rig or a mobile office for the road, the hard parts are the same ones we solve every day: a device that takes the vibration and the elements, a mount that holds, power that lasts, and a screen you can read in full sun. We source and integrate the gear, and we are glad to advise on a build you run yourself. Tell us what you are building.
HOW WE APPROACH THIS
01
Start with the environment and the task
Before we talk hardware, we look at where the device lives and what it has to do. A patrol car, a tanker cab, a forklift, and a utility truck are four different environments, and the operator job in each one decides everything that follows. We figure out what the device has to survive, who uses it, and how, because the work picks the device, not the other way around.
02
Match the device class and durability spec
From there we spec the form factor and the certifications to match. Laptop, tablet, convertible, or in-vehicle workstation, in Windows or Android, with the right MIL-STD and IP rating, screen brightness, battery life, and connectivity for the conditions. A device that is over-built for the job wastes budget, and one that is under-built fails in the field. We spec to fit.
03
Engineer the fitment and integrate the peripherals
A device is only useful when it is mounted, powered, and connected correctly. We design the docking and mounting around the vehicle or workspace, isolate and fuse the power, run cable clean, and tie in the peripherals the job needs, from mobile printers to barcode scanners, so the whole setup works as one and looks factory rather than pieced together.
04
Support it for the life of the deployment
The relationship does not end at delivery. Getac fully rugged devices carry a three-year bumper-to-bumper warranty that covers accidental damage and environmental exposure, and Sector manages the warranty, RMA, and reconfiguration as your fleet rotates. We size every system with the headroom to run current software for years, so the investment lasts.
FROM DEVICE TO DEPLOYMENT
FORM FACTOR
The right device class for the work
The form factor is the first real decision. Fully rugged laptops suit officers and field techs who type reports and run full software all shift. Tablets fit crews who work standing, in-cab, or on a forklift, in Windows for enterprise software or Android for lighter handheld work, in sizes from a compact 8 inch unit to a large-format 14 inch screen. Convertibles do both, a tablet in the hand and a laptop at the dock, and for data-heavy work there are in-vehicle workstations. Sector carries the Getac range across all of these, from the ZX-series Android tablets to the S-series and B-series laptops and the X600 workstations, and helps you pick the platform that fits the work rather than the one a spec sheet pushes.
Device classesRugged laptopsTabletsConvertiblesIn-vehicle workstations
MIL-STD AND IP
Durability you can verify, not just claim
Rugged means tested, and the numbers are what separate a real rugged device from a marketing label. Getac devices are built to MIL-STD-810H for drop, shock, vibration, dust, and temperature, and many carry MIL-STD-461 for electromagnetic interference. IP ingress ratings run from IP53 up to IP66, fully rugged models take drops up to six feet, and operating ranges reach roughly minus 20 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Displays are sunlight readable from 1000 nits and up and take glove and wet-finger touch. Where the work demands it, options add salt-fog resistance and hazardous-location certification for intrinsically safe environments. These are the specs that decide whether a device survives the shift, and they are the first thing Sector matches to your environment.
Key specsMIL-STD-810HIP53 to IP666 ft drop-20F to 145FSunlight-readable
MOUNTED AND POWERED
The device is only half the job
A rugged device earns its keep when it is mounted, powered, and wired to survive the vehicle. Sector engineers the fitment around the platform: secure docks and cradles, vehicle and pole mounts rated for vibration and crash testing, isolated and fused power, and clean cable runs hidden behind panels for a factory finish. Peripherals tie in through a rugged hub so a mobile printer, a barcode scanner, or a second display all run from a single connection. In a patrol car that can mean a protected rear-mounted laptop with a reachable cockpit interface. On a forklift it can mean a pole-mounted tablet with full 360-degree adjustment. We install it, commission it, train your people, and remove the old gear.

THE LINK BACK
Connected wherever the work goes
A field device is only as good as its link back. Getac platforms support Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, dedicated GPS, and 4G LTE or 5G, with FirstNet-capable options for public safety. For a single device that is often enough on its own. For a fleet, or a site where coverage drops, the in-vehicle network becomes its own build. Sector sizes the routers and antennas to keep every device online, and specs the network alongside the device so the two are designed as one system rather than bolted together later.

ONE SYSTEM
Part of the larger vehicle build
In a public-safety vehicle the computer rarely works alone. It is the interface to the in-car and body-worn video system, where officers tag footage with case numbers and review evidence from the same screen, and it shares the vehicle power, mounting, and connectivity with everything else in the build. When computing, video, routers, and upfitting are specced together, the result is one system instead of a stack of parts that happen to share a cabin.

WHY SECTOR FOR THIS SOLUTION
Objective, not tied to one box
Our job is to fit the device to your work, not to push one product. Getac is our core rugged line and what you can buy from our catalog, and where a job calls for a platform beyond it, we source and integrate that too. You get the right tool for the environment, specced honestly, with the tradeoffs laid out instead of hidden.
We mount, power, and install what we sell
Sector technicians do the install themselves: docking, mounting, isolated power, antennas, and peripheral integration, finished to public-safety and commercial upfitting standards. The result is secure, reachable, and supportable, not a device zip-tied to a dash. The team that specs your build is the team that stands behind it.
Supported for the life of the system
Getac fully rugged devices ship with a three-year bumper-to-bumper warranty covering accidental damage and environmental exposure, and Sector manages the warranty, RMA, and reconfiguration locally so you are not chasing a manufacturer. Systems are sized with the headroom to run current software for years, so the investment holds up.
HOW WE SPEC AND DEPLOY
1
Tell us where the devices work
Tell us how the device is used, what it runs, the conditions it faces, and what is failing today. We will build a fleet or site list with you where it helps.
2
Sector specs the platform and the build
Sector designs the right device class, durability spec, fitment, and connectivity for the job and prices it to your budget. You see the full plan before anything is ordered.
3
You review and approve
You review a clear proposal with options and pricing, and any change is pre-authorized so the price holds. Nothing is ordered or installed until you sign off.
4
We source, install, and support
Sector configures, mounts, and commissions each unit, trains your people, and stands behind the workmanship and warranty for the life of the deployment.

Rugged devices are built and certified to survive drops, vibration, dust, water, and temperature extremes that crack or kill consumer hardware. If your people work in vehicles, outdoors, in warehouses, or anywhere a dropped or rained-on laptop means downtime, rugged pays for itself in the devices you are not replacing.
It comes down to how the device is used. Laptops suit full-shift typing and software, tablets suit standing, in-cab, and handheld work, and convertibles do both. Sector walks through the work with you and specs the form factor that fits.
MIL-STD-810H is a set of military durability tests for drop, shock, vibration, dust, and temperature. The IP rating measures sealing against dust and water, so IP66 means dust-tight and protected against heavy water jets. Higher is tougher, and Sector matches the rating to your environment.
Yes. Sector handles docking, mounting, power, antennas, and peripheral integration, installed to a clean factory finish, plus commissioning, training, and removal of old equipment.
Yes. Getac is our core line and what you can shop directly, and we source and integrate other rugged platforms when a project calls for it. Tell us the requirement and we will spec the right fit.
Getac platforms offer LTE, 5G, GPS, and FirstNet-capable options. For fleet-wide or coverage-challenged connectivity, we design the in-vehicle network alongside the device. See our Rugged Mobile Routers solution.
