Revolutionary in design, the Boston “8500” Series handheld is now the toughest device available on the market. Constructed with an internal dual magnesium alloy chassis, the device is unrivalled by any of its close followers whilst maintaining a competitive pricing advantage. Combining optimum processing power and all the latest technologies in one mobile computer the inner strength of the Boston “8500” extends the life by more than ten times that of the traditional handheld pda. Environmentally sealed to IP65 specifications, the Boston is designed to withstand rigorous use in the most extreme environments.
Tough inside and out, the unique magnesium alloy chassis provides excellent torsional strength in conjunction with a high strength, high impact zinc alloy outer casing. Capable of surviving repeated 1.5m drops to concrete, the inclusion of high impact rubber bumpers ensure that the Boston is not only fit for purpose, but the strongest mobile computer on the market.
The Boston 8500 is the latest generation in mobile computing technology.
