Performance and Processing Power
Built on the highly efficient 8-core Qualcomm® QCS6490 platform, the ZX80W-EX pairs desktop-class application performance with low power draw. Equipped with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of fast UFS storage, it runs Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC effortlessly in a completely fanless chassis. This ARM-driven architecture dramatically reduces thermal generation while extending off-grid runtimes, allowing field teams to perform smooth multitasking in remote field environments without device overheating.
Display and Input Design
The 8-inch WUXGA display includes an integrated anti-static protection film explicitly designed to prevent static electrical charge buildup in hazardous settings. Featuring Getac’s proprietary 1,000-nit LumiBond sunlight-readable technology, the screen guarantees clear visibility under the harshest direct Australian sun. The dual-mode capacitive multi-touch panel automatically adapts to input from styluses, digitsers, wet fingers, or heavy work gloves to maintain data-entry speeds during site inspections.
Connectivity and Expansion
Equipped with an advanced wireless array, this intrinsically safe laptop utilises Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and dedicated high-accuracy L1/L5 GPS for critical asset mapping. Dual SIM capabilities (combining a physical Nano-SIM slot with an eSIM) allow field technicians to seamlessly switch between different Australian carrier networks. The integrated USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port supports DisplayPort and Power Delivery, allowing rapid configuration with external diagnostics rigs.
Battery Life and Charging
The system is designed with a dual-battery configuration consisting of an internal safety cell paired with a removable hot-swappable secondary battery. Utilising LifeSupport battery swappable technology, field engineers can swap out depleted battery packs in safe zones without shutting down active software or losing connectivity to ensure continuous full-shift operation far from charging infrastructure.
Security and Data Protection
To safeguard proprietary corporate networks and remote asset data, this rugged laptop relies on hardware-level protection frameworks. Backed by fTPM (Qualcomm TrustZone) and Getac Secure Erase software, the device enables safe cryptographic key management and rapid data purging. Because it runs Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC, it benefits from a stable, feature-locked operating system with ten years of Microsoft enterprise security updates, ensuring strict corporate fleet governance in the field.
Usability
Weighing 780g and featuring dimensions of 243.2 x 165.1 x 23.1mm, the Getac ZX80W-EX offers a balanced and portable form factor for demanding field use. It is ideal for:
-
Mining Operations – Processing pit-lane telemetry, mapping blast holes, and operating asset tracking inside restricted industrial zones
-
Oil & Gas Refineries – Safely running digital inspection manifests and reviewing piping schematics directly inside volatile gas or chemical vapors
-
Utility Asset Management – Performing long-range smart meter testing, Mobile GIS surveying, and substation infrastructure logging
-
UAV & Drone Control – Serving as a lightweight ground control station utilizing the on-device Qualcomm Hexagon NPU for real-time edge analytics
The operating temperature range of -21ºC to 55ºC ensures year-around deployment across a wide array of indoor and extreme outdoor conditions.
Rugged Durability
The Fully Rugged Getac ZX80W-EX is independently certified for ATEX and IECEx Zone 2/22 explosive atmospheres (Ex II 3G Ex ic op is IIC T4 Gc / Ex II 3D Ex ic op is IIIC T130°C Dc). Constructed to survive severe field abuse, it is IP67 dustproof and waterproof, MIL-STD-810H certified, and structurally tested to survive 1.8-meter drops without data disruption.
