神基科技宣佈其強固型筆電及平板電腦取得MIL-STD-810G、MIL-STD-461F和IP65軍規認證

台北2009年11月17日電 /美通社亞洲/ — 全球第三大攜帶式強固型電腦製造商神基科技今日宣佈，該公司的筆記型電腦和平板電腦系列，正式通過由一家獨立測試實驗室執行之MIL-STD-810G、MIL-STD-461F和IP65認證測試，證明Getact產品可承受嚴峻的使用環境。以上測試標準是由美國國防部制定，其目的在於確保國防部所屬單位和機構所使用之任何產品均能達到基本的性能要求。

確保產品能承受野外之現實環境和挑戰，是神基的第一優先考量，因此神基為其強固型筆電和平板電腦系列實施高於國防部標準的內部測試，並通過一系列認證過程的嚴格測試，包括連續從6呎的高度墜落78次、持久淋雨及暴露於沙塵、暴露於高溫、高濕度的環境，以及各種衝擊與振動測試。

取得MIL-STD-810G認證的神基產品包括A790、B300和M230強固型筆電、V100強固兩用可旋轉筆電、E100強固型平板電腦、和PS535強固型GPS手持裝置。

除了MIL-STD-810G認證以外，B300強固型筆電、V100強固兩用可旋轉筆電和PS535F GPS手持裝置亦分別取得有關防塵與防水之IP65(侵入防護)認證。這些測試是由一家合格的獨立測試實驗室負責執行。IP6x(防塵)測試時，受測裝置在關機狀態下被置於一個以滑石粉模擬灰塵的防塵測試箱中達8小時。Ipx5(防水)測試時，則是以每分鐘3.3加侖的速度從所有可能的角度對受測裝置施以加壓水。

神基B300、M230和A790強固型筆電和V100強固兩用可旋轉筆電也取得有關防磁的MIL-STD-461F認證。

神基科技總經理黃明漢表示：「我們很高興Getac強固型電腦產品超過了軍規認證標準，以及我們自己的內部標準。我們的內部標準通常比國防部所制定的標準更嚴格。這些獨立認證的取得，加上我們最近宣佈的電阻式多點觸控技術，等於向我們的顧客提出保證：神基科技將持續提供在最極端環境條件下仍能發揮優異性能的創新產品。」

Getac Announces Fully Rugged Notebooks and Tablet PCs Receive MIL-STD-810G, MIL-STD-461F and IP65 Military Certification

TAIPEI, Taiwan, Nov. 17 /PRNewswire-Asia/ — Getac, a leading innovator and manufacturer of rugged computers that meet the demands of field-based applications, announced that its line of notebook computers and Tablet PCs has been MIL-STD-810G, MIL-STD-461F and IP65 certified by an independent testing lab to withstand severe environmental conditions. These standards were established by the military to ensure minimum performance standards for any product used by agencies and organizations within the Department of Defense.

To ensure absolute performance in any environment, Getac conducts its own internal testing processes with standards that go beyond those established by the Department of Defense on their line of rugged notebooks and Tablet PCs. Making sure the products withstand real-world environments and challenges in the field is top priority. As a result, Getac’s products surpassed grueling test in the certification process including a series of 78 consecutive drops from as high as 6 feet, sustained exposure to blowing rain, sand, and dust, exposure to extreme heat, cold, and condensation, and a variety of shock and vibration testing.

Getac products receiving MIL-STD-810G certification include its A790, B300, and M230 rugged notebooks, V100 rugged convertible notebook, E100 rugged Tablet PC, and PS535 rugged handheld.

In addition to receiving MIL-STD-810G certification, the B300 Notebook, V100 Convertible, and PS535F GPS handheld each received Ingress Protection (IP65) certification for dust and water resistance. Conducted by a recognized independent laboratory testing facility, the IP6x testing (for dust) was conducted in a dust chamber for 8 hours using talcum powder with units in the Off position. The IPx5 testing (for water) was conducted by using pressurized water from every conceivable angle at a rate of 3.3 gallons per minute.

Getac’s B300 / M230 / A790 Notebooks, and V100 Convertible also received MIL-STD-461F certification for immunity against magnetic fields.

“We are pleased that our rugged computing products exceeded military certification standards as well as our own standards which are often more strict than those imposed by the Department of Defense,” explains James Hwang, president of Getac Technology Corporation. “Receiving these independent certifications, along with our recent announcement of Resistive Multi-touch technology, assures our customers that Getac continues to offer innovative products that can endure and perform under the most extreme environmental conditions,” Hwang added.
