The RugGear RG940 Rugged Android Tablet is built to deliver high-speed edge computing, vehicle telematics, and real-time data connectivity for Australian commercial transport fleets, civil engineering contractors, and resource sector operations. Featuring wideband 5G NR and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity alongside 3GPP Release 15 Mission-Critical Services (MCX) support, the terminal provides low-latency data access and push-to-talk integration across major Australian cellular carrier networks and private on-site LTE campus setups. With an integrated VESA mount pattern, a base 12-pin docking interface, and a lateral 16-pin peripheral port, the 1,030 g tablet transitions between heavy vehicle in-cabin mounts, remote field survey setups, and workshop maintenance benches. Staged, configured, and supported directly from our Belmont facility, the RG940 provides Australian enterprise fleets with a dependable mobile computing platform that streamlines shift handovers and lowers total cost of ownership in demanding regional operating environments.

Performance and Processing Power
Powered by an enterprise-grade Qualcomm® QCM6490 octa-core processor operating at clock speeds up to 2.7 GHz, delivering processing capability for local AI edge computation, complex SCADA dashboards, and real-time mapping applications. This rugged device pairs 8GB of RAM with 128GB of internal storage, which can be expanded in the field up to 512GB via a dedicated microSDHC slot to support offline engineering documentation in remote blackspot areas. Running natively on Android™ 13 with Google Mobile Services (GMS) and enterprise upgrade roadmaps (with optional Windows OS availability), the platform provides corporate IT administrators with predictable deployment lifecycles and software compatibility.
Display and Input Design
Features a 10.1-inch Full HD (1200 x 1920 pixels) capacitive touch screen that provides clear visibility for reviewing utility schematics, dispatch routes, and inspection checklists under direct Australian sunlight. The optical surface is fortified with Corning® Gorilla® Glass to prevent scratching and cracking from abrasive mineral dust and rough worksite handling. The digitiser is calibrated for active field tasks, maintaining accurate touch response when operated with wet hands or heavy industrial work gloves.
Connectivity and Expansion
Engineered for Australian telecommunications environments, the internal modem covers global 5G NR (SA & NSA) and 4G LTE spectrums (including 700 MHz (Band 28) for long-range regional coverage) alongside private LTE, CBRS, and PPDR bands. The cellular architecture operates as a data-only terminal supporting Dual SIM (Nano-SIM + eSIM) and QCI 1–9, 65, 66, 67, 69, and 70 priority profiles for guaranteed mission-critical packet routing. Local area wireless communication is supported by Wi-Fi 6 (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/e/k/r/v) dual-band technology with fast seamless roaming, Bluetooth 5.2, and multi-protocol NFC. Precision positioning is powered by dual-frequency (L1/L5) GNSS (GPS, A-GPS, Glonass, Galileo, Beidou) with SWIFT Skylark integration for centimetre-level surveying accuracy. Physical I/O includes a high-speed USB 3.1 Type-C port, a 12-pin base interface for vehicle docking cradles, and a lateral 16-pin port for secure screw-fastened audio and scanning peripherals.
Battery Life and Charging
Extended shift endurance is delivered by a removable 8,100 mAh Lithium-ion battery pack engineered to maintain stable output throughout 12-hour shifts in high-temperature climates. The modular battery enclosure allows field crews to swap battery packs quickly, keeping vehicle-mounted hardware and handheld units in continuous operation. Charging is supported via the sealed USB 3.1 Type-C port or through high-efficiency pin contacts on 12-pin desktop docks and lockable in-cabin vehicle mounts.
Usability
Measuring 266 x 167.5 x 19.5 mm and weighing 1,030 g, the RugGear RG940 rugged Android tablet is built for vehicle-mounted and handheld field use, with a sealed, reinforced chassis around its ports and touchscreen. It is well suited to:
-
Heavy Transport & Fleet Telematics – Mount inside commercial transport and mining vehicles using VESA brackets and 12-pin active docks to run electronic work diaries, job dispatch, and route navigation across national transport corridors.
-
Civil Infrastructure & Precision GIS Surveying – Utilise L1/L5 dual-frequency GNSS and SWIFT Skylark integration to record centimetre-accurate spatial data for regional pipelines, roads, and utilities.
-
Mining & Heavy Plant Maintenance – Access digital work orders, P&ID schematics, and capture 50 MP diagnostic photos in high-particulate workshop and processing environments.
-
Mission-Critical Voice & Dispatch Communications – Connect field crews across high-speed 5G or private Wi-Fi 6 networks using dual 103 dB speakers and heavy-duty 16-pin PTT headsets.
Rugged Durability
Constructed with a reinforced industrial housing engineered to withstand mechanical shock, repetitive drops, and continuous vibration on unsealed corrugated haul roads and heavy transport chassis. The front display is protected by chemically strengthened Corning® Gorilla® Glass to prevent screen fractures, surface abrasions, and deep scratches caused by contact with fine mineral dust, metal swarf, and industrial tools. All physical connection ports and battery compartments are sealed to prevent dust, debris, and moisture ingress during outdoor wet-weather operations. The touchscreen digitiser features dedicated hardware tuning that maintains accurate single-point and multi-touch response even when the screen surface is wet or when the operator is wearing heavy synthetic or leather work gloves. Furthermore, the tablet's thermal architecture ensures stable operational performance across broad ambient temperature extremes common to regional Australian mine sites and transport depots.
