Click2Contact

Unlike consumer products or tablets that have been given an exterior shell to make them ‘rugged’, the Trimble Yuma 2 is built rugged from the inside out, with IP65 protection from dust and water plus military-grade MIL-STD-810G certification for temperature, altitude, humidity extremes, vibration and shock.

The product uses the Microsoft Windows 7 Professional operating system and 4 GB of DDR3 DRAM. Connectivity is via Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi b/g/n and optional dual-mode GSM 3/4G. A dual-core 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor provides for high-performance 2D/3D graphics.

The device features two USB host ports and HDMI output. It has an 8 h standard battery or 16 h with extended battery. There are three user-programmable function buttons and a five-way directional keypad.

The computer’s built-in, certified Trusted Processing Module (TPM) allows security programming for Wi-Fi and direct connect authentication. A Kensington security port is standard.

A dual technology display system has been created specifically to enhance the sunlight readability of the product. A full-colour, 7″ screen resides under a tough Gorilla Glass panel. There is multi-orientation response to the built-in accelerometer.

Other features include: a multitouch capacitive touch screen; a 5 MP camera for photos and videos with geo and time stamps; and a 2 m accurate GPS receiver.
