Panasonic’s customisable rugged TOUGHBOOK solutions, including the latest 33 and G2 devices, will be demonstrated at the UK’s premier emergency services event.
The Panasonic TOUGHBOOK team will be descending on Birmingham’s NEC on 18th-19th September for the annual Emergency Services Show. The UK’s leading blue-light event, the Emergency Services Show is the ideal opportunity for blue-light decision makers to discuss their most pressing mobile challenges with Panasonic TOUGHBOOK representatives and technical experts, as well as trialing the latest mobile computing technologies.
Market-leading rugged mobile computing solutions
Panasonic will be demonstrating its full line up of mobile rugged solutions for the emergency services sector in Birmingham, including the TOUGHBOOK 55mk3, G2mk2, and 33mk3.
The 33mk3 and G2mk2 deliver market-leading ruggedness, battery life, customisation, connectivity and performance that provide the modern emergency services worker with a balanced solution. Both utilise the Intel® Core™ (Alder Lake) i5 processor, with Intel vPro® Technology, helping to run the most demanding applications.
The 33mk3 also benefits from enhanced graphics performance, crucial for emergency services workers using it as a detachable Mobile Data Terminal (MDT). This is particularly useful for access information such as mapping and point-of-interest data, operating guidance, and building plans, in and out of emergency services vehicles.
The military-grade ruggedness and IP65*-rated water and dust capabilities of the G2mk2 and 33mk3 allow users to continue working in any environment, without any fear of drops, knocks, vibrations, and extreme temperatures affecting productivity.
Both the TOUGHBOOK 33mk3 and G2mk2 will be Airwave-certified and approved for use on the Emergency Services Network (ESN), offering seamless Wi-Fi, 4G, ESN and TETRA connectivity. This enables remote emergency services workers to effortlessly connect to control rooms and back-office systems, regardless of location.
The importance of strong technology partnerships
Cultivating increasingly strong partnerships with new and existing critical technology partners, such as Telent, Centerprise, and Terrafix – and more – is a key focus for the TOUGHBOOK team at the Emergency Services Show.
Working with these partners, Panasonic has been undertaking a nationwide technology refresh for the Ambulance Radio Programme (ARP) in 2024, helping to increase efficiency and enhance patient safety across all Ambulance Service Trusts in England and Wales. This is achieved through the installation of best-of-breed rugged mobile devices in all rapid response and dual crewed ambulances.
Will Holmes, Business Manager (Public Sector), Panasonic TOUGHBOOK, said: “There’s a real family feeling at the Emergency Services Show. The full spectrum of industry decision makers across all areas of emergency services come together for some valuable face-time on the issues and challenges they are trying to solve – whether they are primarily focused on IT, operations, communications, or fleet management. We’re looking forward to sharing how our upgraded TOUGHBOOK devices have helped to consolidate our position as the leading rugged tablet and notebook provider for emergency services.”
