THE INDUSTRY & COMPANY
Utility trucks need rugged, compact docking stations to support with electricity operations
This major utility provider operates across South Australia, managing electricity distribution to residential, commercial, and industrial customers. Their fleet of utility vehicles supports critical field operations for this sector, including power outage response, emergency repairs, infrastructure upgrades, and accessing remote service sites. Reliable, space-efficient technology is essential for maintaining power delivery and technician productivity.
THE CHALLENGE & PAIN POINTS
Needed a space-saving, vibration-resistant vehicle dock with an antenna toggle
The client required a compact rugged tablet dock that could fit space-constrained dashboards while offering strong, consistent signal performance. Field conditions, often in remote or low-signal areas, demanded an easy way to switch between external antennas (used in-vehicle) and internal ones (used in the field when undocked). Vibration resistance when driving on rough terrain and quick undocking were also essential for on-the-go mobile operations in this sector.
THE TAILORED SOLUTION
Getac developed a slim rugged tablet dock with physical RF switch for antenna flexibility
Getac created a slim vehicle dock for the Getac ZX10 rugged tablet for mounting the device on dashboards of the utility trucks. The dock features a physical RF switch, enabling drivers and field technicians to seamlessly toggle between internal and external antennas based on their location and use case. Additionally, a stylus socket integrated into the dock offered convenient access to the device’s stylus while the tablet was docked, enhancing usability in the field.
THE RESULTS & BENEFITS
Field-ready dock enhances efficiency and connectivity for mobile teams
This rugged tablet dock solution dramatically improved operational efficiency for the utility provider’s mobile teams. The RF switch ensured strong connectivity whether in the vehicle or in the field, while the slim, vibration-resistant design enabled compact installation and reliable performance. The client praised Getac’s speed, flexibility, and post-sales support. The solution is also adaptable to transportation and fleet management, offering a compact tablet cradle that delivers reliable functionality across similarly demanding environments.
