FREDERICKSBURG, VA--(Marketwire - Apr 4, 2012) - QRC Technologies, a supplier of ruggedized mobile solutions, cellular protocol measurement tools, and PC integration components, today announced the unveiling of the QPADD™, its customizable, fully contained, semi-rugged tablet with 55 watt expansion bay.
QRC's QPADD is an OEM product created to help designers/manufacturers of electronic sensors, computer peripherals or measurement devices to quickly bring a field-ready complete solution to market. QPADD's expansion bay provides OEM customers with the power and multiple interface/connection options to easily integrate their equipment; while QPADD's tablet interface and ruggedized packaging provide a simple and appealing man-machine interface. This is the perfect solution for demonstrating module capabilities to end users, quickly bringing a product concept to market, cost effectively delivering products in limited quantity markets and shortening the development cycle to deliver a functional prototype.
"For nearly 30 years, we have been developing wireless solutions for our customers, including the federal government, and we noticed a few years ago that many of the tablet devices on the market do not have the ability to directly embed a sensor or any device needing more than 5 watts of power, peripheral support or RF capability for field applications," said Tom Callahan, General Manager and CTO, QRC. "With our engineering and field experience we developed a device that meets the needs of commercial customers who need ruggedized technology for their mobile workforce."
With 55 watts of available power, multiple connector type plug-and-play interface, touch screen computer, modular sensor bay, and ruggedized housing, the QPADD's advanced capabilities can help customers bypass time-consuming engineering and manufacturing obstacles. QRC's cost-effective off-the-shelf solution, the QPADD, can be customized to meet your requirements and the challenges of today's mobile and field workforce.
