Panasonic's rugged, 5-in. tablets -- the Toughpad FZ-E1 powered by Windows Embedded 8.1 Handheld and FZ-X1 running the Android 4.2.2 operating system -- are the first devices in the Toughpad line to offer optional voice connectivity. With 14-hour hot-swappable batteries, FIPS 140-2 Level 1 security, and sunlight-readable HD touchscreens that work even with gloves, the Toughpad FZ-E1 and FZ-X1 are purpose-built to improve efficiency and productivity for mobile professionals in demanding environments. 

Toughpad FZ-E1 and Toughpad FZ-X1 exceed MIL-STD-810G specifications with resistance to drops of up to 10 ft. to concrete. Both devices are fully sealed against dust and are submersible in up to 5 ft. of water for up to 30 minutes, meeting IP65 and IP68 certification requirements. The devices carry an operating temperature range of -4° F to 140° F thanks to a built-in heater, and are also tested for resistance to impact, shock, vibration, altitude and extreme humidity.

Both models will be available with dual SIM slots and certified on leading mobile carrier networks, 4G LTE/3G/GPRS/CDMA2000 mobile broadband for voice and data. Push-to-talk service also will be available on specific networks and depending on service contracts. Standard on both models is Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, near field communications (NFC), standalone GPS and Bluetooth v4.0 (Class 1).

To ensure clear voice communication above engine or construction noise, the devices are equipped with intelligent noise cancelling and dual front speakers reaching an astounding maximum volume of 100 decibels — about as loud as the average home stereo system.
