Technicians, inspectors, and delivery staff need devices that survive real-world
conditions.

**Consumer or rugged?**

A standard tablet with a strong case suits light field use. Rugged tablets withstand
drops, dust, water, and extreme temperatures, which is worth it for harsh environments.

**Key features**

– **Battery life:** a full shift or more, with hot-swappable batteries for heavy
use

– **Screen:** bright and readable in sunlight, with glove or wet-touch support

– **Connectivity:** Wi-Fi plus cellular (LTE/5G) for connectivity everywhere

– **GPS:** for navigation and job tracking

– **Camera:** good rear camera for documenting work

– **Barcode scanning:** integrated or via accessory

– **Storage and performance:** enough for offline apps and data

**Operating system**

– **Windows:** best for legacy apps and Microsoft management

– **iPadOS:** user-friendly with strong app ecosystem

– **Android:** flexible, with many rugged options

**Manage and secure**

Use mobile device management (such as Intune) for app deployment, encryption, remote
wipe, and updates. Lost devices are a real risk.

**Accessories**

Rugged cases, vehicle mounts, chargers, and screen protectors extend lifespan.

**Match the software**

Start with the apps your team needs, then choose hardware that runs them well.
