Xplore Introduces the New iX104C5-M2 Rugged Tablet for Military and Government Personnel

Integrated common access card makes mobile computing safe and secure

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Xplore Technologies Corp. (NAS: XPLR) , the manufacturer of the world’s most powerful, longest-lasting and rugged tablet in the market, has announced the newest addition to its rugged tablet portfolio, the iX104C5-M2. The new rugged tablet is an upgrade to Xplore Technologies‘ current iX104C5-M, and is made to specifically meet the specialized security needs of military and government personnel.

The new iX104C5-M2 introduces additional hardware security with a fully integrated common access card (CAC) reader, which provides a secure and more trusted platform experience for military personnel. An ISO 7816 smart card issued by the U.S. government must be inserted into the device to access information appropriate to the user’s security clearance on the tablet. The CAC reader ensures that critical data is only accessible by the appropriate, qualified user. Since the CAC card is completely contained within the iX104C5-M2 CAC reader, it poses no threat of possible damage resulting from foreign objects.

“With the addition of an integrated CAC reader, military personnel will know that mission-critical information is contained securely on their mobile device,” said Dan Morris, director of military programs for Xplore Technologies. “And like all of our other products, the new iX104C5-M2 is a wholly field upgradable rugged tablet that makes military and government organizations nimble and effective, no matter what conditions they might find themselves in.”

The iX104C5-M2 rugged tablet is outfitted with an Intel® Core™ i7 processor, is Windows 8 compatible, and offers the most advanced performance platform in its class. The speed and efficiency of Xplore’s military tablets allows federal and Department of Defense users to deploy high-end enterprise level applications with confidence and reliability.

“We work closely with our military and government customers to provide products that meet their very specialized needs,” said Mark Holleran, president and chief operating officer for Xplore Technologies. “This next generation of our military-grade tablets provides added safety and security when our clients need it the most.”

(NAS: XPLR) , the manufacturer of the world’s most powerful, longest-lasting and rugged tablet in the market, today announced a significant purchase of its iX104C5 DMSR-M rugged tablet from the U.S. military.

“Our products are the only truly upgradeable and field replaceable rugged tablet PCs that offer high reliability, a low failure rate and a fast processing speed that enable military personnel to execute mission plans in the most challenging conditions and, in some cases, save lives,” said Mark Holleran, president and chief operating officer for Xplore Technologies.

“This order coupled with the previous order from the U.S. military, is a result of strategic product and market investments we have made in the defense sector, ” said Philip S. Sassower, chairman and chief executive officer for Xplore Technologies. “This purchase continues the solid relationship we have established with our military customers and affirms our military strategy.”

The iX104C5 DMSR-M rugged tablet is designed for frontline personnel, and is built to meet military specifications (MIL-STD-810G) in the most extreme environments.
