From the company that invented the category, Itronix' rugged (GoBook) and ultra-rugged notebook (GoBook MAX) PC's represent the latest innovations in wireless field computing. Designed to meet and/or exceed MIL-STD 810E, the Itronix GoBook's are an ideal solution for mobile deployments into Utility and Telco service/repair organizations. They are also a good fit into commercial filed service, public safety, aerospace flight-line and government applications.

Itronix is more than a hardware supplier. An extensive client services organization assists companies realize the full potential of a mobile workforce implementation through its "Icare" suite of services. Itronix has helped over a quarter-million mobile workers work more efficiently and effectively. Itronix matches the right solution to solve enterprise wireless computing problems resulting in positive ROI.

The GoBook MAX is the latest iteration of our landmark mobile computing platform the XC- 6250 and XC-6250 Pro. The MAX is the fastest, lightest, most ergonomically designed ultra-rugged notebook PC made. It exceeds the required MIL-STD 810E 26 drops from 3' onto plywood over concrete. In fact, it is rated to survive 54 drops. 

The GoBook, introduced in November 2000, is among the fastest rugged notebooks you can buy. It meets MIL-STD 810E for rugged design and construction. It survives the required 26 drops from 3' onto plywood over concrete using only 2 testing units. 

Both Itronix notebook platforms are designed with integrated wireless communications via the unique CRMA™ (Common Radio Module Architecture) technology. CRMA is a proprietary enterprise wireless solution that empowers customers to swap radio modems themselves so that as evolving network technologies present themselves, they don't have to send their hardware back to the factory, thus avoiding costly returns and downtime.
