Toughpad, the ruggedised version of Panasonic’s professional grade notebooks family, is specifically designed for precision agriculture, machine control and robotic guidance applications in harsh environments and conditions. Its single band Real Time Kinematic (RTK) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver, connected to an external antenna, enables high precision positioning down to centimeter-level in open sky conditions. Panasonic says it selected the NEO-M8 from u-blox GNSS module to meet its requirements, “We needed a high quality, reliable and robust GNSS module for this tablet designed to be used in rugged environments.”
The Toughpad is first launched in Japan.
