DT Research Showcases First Rugged Tablet Purpose-built for 3D Interactive Training, First Responders and Law Enforcement

3D Interactive Training Goes Mobile Using Sleek Military-grade Tablet with 14-inch Sunlight Readable Screen and High Performance NVIDIA GeForce GTX Graphics Card

INDIANAPOLIS, April 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FDIC International 2018 -- DT Research, the leading designer and manufacturer of purpose-built computing solutions for vertical markets, today announced the DT340T, an IP65 rated Rugged Tablet with a 14-inch full-HD vivid display and dedicated high-performance NVIDIA GeForce GTX Graphic Card that supports high video processing within a wider screen. For the first time, interactive 3D training for aerospace, firefighting, military, medical, manufacturing and other environments that require highly detailed simulations are no longer restricted to an office environment.

The DT340T was also designed to meet the specific needs of law enforcement officers and first responders, who now have a versatile device that can be used in-vehicle, in the field and at the desk. For optimal in-vehicle use, DT Research has developed a unique cradle-mount for the DT340T that has a security lock, quick release and detachable keyboard, which instantly turns the device into a mobile tablet. The high power of this rugged tablet will give first responders confidence that the device will be ‘always on’ with a 180-watt hot-swappable battery pack that can run continuously for multiple days.

“Until now, 3D interactive training has been deskbound,” said Daw Tsai Sc.D., president of DT Research. “We saw the need to bring 3D simulations into the field with a large-screen portable unit that is powerful enough for 3D animations, but stays cool after hours of continuous use. At the same time, the market has not provided law enforcement officers and first responders with a single solution that spans their entire work environment from the vehicle-field-office. We looked closely at all the requirements for these users and designed a comprehensive solution that will make them more effective and productive during their entire shift – including some nice-to-have features like a dual cup holder.”

The DT340T will be showcased at FDIC 2018 – Fire Department Instructors Conference, on April 26-29, 2018 at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Conference attendees can come by booth 8012 to see the DT340T Rugged Tablet in action with 3D interactive software.

The DT301T is a large screen, lightweight and high powered MIL-STD tablet with a built-in dedicated graphic card and detachable keyboard, which can also be locked for added security. The tablet has been purpose-built for 3D animations, law enforcement and first responders in a variety of environments including:  firefighter training, military defense training, pilot simulation, medical imaging, and manufacturing automation training.
