Getac ecosystem meets utility-sector demands

For utility sectors, Getac has developed a comprehensive ecosystem of resilient technologies built around its rugged computing and mobile video solutions. These solutions integrate advanced technologies tailored to the specific requirements of public-service sectors, including infrastructure planning, asset maintenance, land surveying and field operations.

Getac’s rugged devices are engineered to operate under the most extreme conditions, maintaining full reliability in any professional or environmental scenario. They are designed for deployment in sectors such as water, gas and electricity utilities, as well as infrastructure assets including wind turbines and geospatial applications. Each device complies with military-grade certifications, including MIL-STD-810H, ensuring resistance to dropping, temperature extremes, sand and dust.

Broad range of field operations

The technology supports a broad range of field operations, from the precise demands of surveying and the critical need for on-site safety, to workforce coordination and the seamless installation and monitoring of smart meters. Its connectivity options – whether via Wi-Fi, 4G LTE, or the more advanced 5G Sub-6 – work hand in hand with rugged hardware, strong computing power and a high degree of configurability. As a result, it is particularly well-suited for environments in which reliability and adaptability are non-negotiable – such as remote wind farms, solar installations or other renewable energy applications.

The dedicated software tools enhance day-to-day efficiency for public-sector professionals. For instance, Getac Virtual GPS Utility allows GPS data to be converted into multiple virtual COM ports, greatly improving system integration and operational coordination in the field. Meanwhile, Getac DeployXpress simplifies the entire lifecycle of Android device management – from deployment and configuration to distribution and updates – ensuring that teams can work with flexibility, precision and speed in even the most demanding scenarios.

Operational lifespan

In the field of industrial IT, equipment longevity and ease of maintenance can significantly affect both operational continuity and environmental impact. Devices used by utility service professionals and land surveyors often operate under demanding conditions, making robust support essential. Getac offers a three-year warranty on its fully rugged models, which includes coverage for accidental damage and a courier-based repair and return service. This level of support helps extend the operational lifespan of the equipment and reduces the frequency of replacements, contributing to lower resource use and waste over time.

Beyond the hardware, a combination of software tools supports the daily workflows of field teams. These tools are designed to streamline operations, maintain safety standards and align with broader sustainability efforts across sectors such as utilities and infrastructure.
