Durability at the heart of TouchStar’s new shock- absorbent tablet

TouchStar Technologies PLC, specialist in the design, supply and support of rugged mobile computers, has announced the release of the TS3300 tablet mobile computer which has been designed to withstand the tough demands of operation in fuel distribution.

Drawing on over thirty years of experience of manufacturing mobile technology, TouchStar has built the TS3300 around three core principles: durability, safety and ease of use.

Unparalleled protection

Designed to be rugged from the inside-out, each of the TS3300’s components is housed in an ultra-shock-absorbent rubber matrix. This unique approach to shock dispersal differentiates the TS3300 from its competitors by placing durability at the heart of the device, rather than adding a boot or bumper as an afterthought to the standard tablet. The result is unparalleled protection from shockwaves and vibration that can dramatically reduce the lifespan of crucial hardware.

CEO Mark Hardy stated: “In making the TS3300 we changed our approach. We designed the tablet to be slimmer, smarter and stronger than its competitors starting from the inside out. This latest release also utilises octo core processing technology – making it unbeatable on performance.”

The cradle’s revolutionary magnetic dock and lock system facilitates one-handed docking, locking and rapid removal. The TS3300 becomes the nerve centre of in-cab operations with minimal dashboard clutter and maximum driver visibility. Going mobile is effortless due to the lightweight, ergonomic shape and 7” glare-proof screen.

The TS3300 is fully compliant with the ATEX Zone 2 IECEx directive, allowing safe use in potentially explosive environments, such as fuel distribution. The unit can also withstand drops of up to 1.5m onto concrete and operate in temperatures of -10o C to +50o C, marking it as the most rugged terminal in its class.

The TS3300 runs on Android 10.0, with additional features including a high-resolution, rear-facing camera and 4G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication capability.

Gordon Hyland, sales director, encourages distributors to: “Get in touch to arrange a demonstration of this unique new tablet.”
