Australia has one of the highest rates of mobile device use in the world. By January 2025, there were 34.4 million active cellular mobile connections in the country, which is about 128 percent of the total population. This means many Australians rely on more than one mobile device every day. Internet penetration sits at 97.1 percent of the population, and nearly four out of five Australians own a smartphone.

 

85% of Australian businesses now use information and communication technologies, driving unprecedented demand for mobile computing solutions that can handle our unique working conditions. From mining sites in the Pilbara to hospital corridors in Melbourne, professionals need laptops that combine portability with military-grade resilience.

Dynabook laptops deliver exactly this combination. These Japanese-engineered machines meet MIL-STD-810H military standards while weighing as little as 855 grams, proving that professional-grade durability doesn't require desktop-sized bulk. For Australian professionals who demand both performance and reliability, Roaming Technologies brings these exceptional machines with local expertise that makes all the difference.

 

In industries where a single spark can trigger catastrophe, safety isn't just a compliance box. From mine sites to processing plants, the wrong device in the wrong hands can shut down operations, breach legal obligations, or worse.

And for business leaders overseeing remote teams and volatile worksites, understanding this could protect your people, your reputation, and your bottom line.

Tablets and iPads are now a staple in work vehicles across Australia. Whether it's a tradie navigating between job sites, a paramedic accessing digital records en route, or a field engineer logging job data on the go, mobile computing is part of the job.

When you're out on the warehouse floor, deep in the field, or working against the clock in a high-pressure environment, the last thing you need is gear that gives out. A barcode scanner isn’t just another device. It's part of the job, and it needs to keep up.

Getac devices are built to handle just about anything - dust, drops, heat, cold, and even the occasional coffee spill. Whether you’re using a Getac laptop out in the field or a Getac tablet on the workshop floor, these rugged machines are designed for tough environments.

Drop a standard laptop on a worksite, and chances are it won’t survive the fall. Spill water on it, expose it to dust, or try to use it in freezing conditions, and you’ll quickly see why off-the-shelf laptops don’t belong in demanding industries. This is where the Panasonic Toughbook steps in.

The clock is ticking for Windows 10 support, with its official end date set for October 14, 2025. For businesses, this isn’t just another update to shrug off - it’s a critical shift. Without security updates, bug fixes, or technical support, systems running Windows 10 will become increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks and operational issues.
