“Whether working in the public sector, government, utilities, enterprise or other industries, the updated TOUGHBOOK 33 helps mission-critical mobile workers operate safely and efficiently in any environment,” said Craig Jackowski, GM of product management, Panasonic System Solutions Company of North America. “Our updates were driven by a customer-focused philosophy core to Panasonic that aims to deliver on the performance and reliability users have come to expect from the TOUGHBOOK brand.”
The updated TOUGHBOOK 33’s 2-in-1 form factor and 3:2 display offers mobile workers the durable build, flexible design and enterprise specifications they need for their jobs. With the ability to connect to Private LTE CBRS networks, up to 2.8x faster Wi-Fi 6 and 2x faster Bluetooth 5.1, the TOUGHBOOK 33 offers enhanced connectivity, ensuring mobile workers can access information in real-time. For those who operate in loud environments or at night like many in the utility, public sector and federal spaces, the device provides improved functionality with 50% louder speakers, improved mics for better speech recognition accuracy and a brighter red backlit keyboard (compared to the previous model).
The latest TOUGHBOOK 33 also provides upgraded security with Intel Hardware Shield (part of Intel vPro) and meets Microsoft’s Secured-core PC requirements.
