\"fz-b2\"<\/a>Panasonic<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0has\u00c2\u00a0announced the launch of the Toughpad\u00c2\u00a0FZ-B2<\/a>, a rugged 7-inch tablet<\/a> powered by Android\u00c2\u00a0for field-based workforces<\/a>. With durability, power and a range of configurability options\u00e2\u20ac\u201d at a price within reach of any business<\/span> \u00e2\u20ac\u201d the Toughpad FZ-B2 is an ideal tool for field service, inspections, reporting, or as an upgrade from clipboards and pen-and-paper processes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Running the Android\u00c2\u00a04.4 operating system and powered by a Quad-core Intel\u00c2\u00a0Celeron<\/span>\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>Processor, the Toughpad FZ-B2 offers exclusive features not available on any consumer-grade tablet. These include enhanced enterprise features; a quick-charging, user-replaceable full-shift battery with optional bridge battery and high-capacity battery; a 5-point capacitive multi-touch screen that works even when the user is wearing gloves, as well as with a fine tip stylus pen; and a wide range of configuration options to allow organizations to customize the ideal tool for their workforces.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With its fully rugged, MIL-STD-810G sealed IP65\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>dust and water-resistant design, the thin and lightweight Toughpad FZ-B2 is built for long-lasting durability even when regularly used in harsh environments. Like Panasonic\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s entire range of enterprise-grade mobile computers, it is designed for longer life cycle management and for smooth deployments and ongoing support, providing a lower total cost of ownership.<\/p>\n

“Android\u00c2\u00a0tablets are becoming an increasingly attractive option in the enterprise, particularly for small and mid-sized businesses. However, many of the tablets available on the market today are simply too unreliable and flimsy for businesses looking for a smart, dependable long-term investment,” said Dan Diliberti, senior product development \u00e2\u20ac\u201c tablet and payment systems, Panasonic System Communications Company of North America. “The Toughpad FZ-B2 is built to many of the same specifications as our best-selling 7-inch Windows-powered Toughpad FZ-M1 tablet, assuring customers they can take advantage of the benefits of the Android\u00e2\u201e\u00a2<\/sup> platform without sacrificing on durability and enterprise-grade features.”<\/p>\n
