The  ZX80W  is  powered  by the Qualcomm® QCS6490 ARM  architecture, delivering  an efficient and  fanless  computing  experience with extended battery life for long-duration field operations.Running Windows 11,the device combines enterprise-level security  and software compatibility with  an ultra-compact and lightweight  design,providing professionals  with  reliable computing power in demanding environments.Equipped    with the Qualcomm® AI Engine and Hexagon™ NPU, the  ZX80W real-time edge AI processing,reducing cloud dependency and improving operational efficiency in remote and mission-critical scenarios.

As  industrial   operations   become   increasingly digitalized,frontline  workers  require  computing devices  that  combine  enterprise-level  software capabilities with extreme mobility and reliability.

 

Bringing Intelligence Closer to the Field

The  ZX80W brings intelligent computing closer to  frontline operations with advanced  edge  AI  capabilities  powered  by the Qualcomm AI  Engine  and Hexagon NPU. By enabling  real-time  data  analysis, recognition, and on-device automation, the device helps field teams make faster and more informed decisions while reducing reliance  on  cloud  connectivity. This  allows  reliable performance even in remote locations or environments with limited network availability. Designed  for  mission-critical  applications, the  ZX80W  supports  a wide  range  of  industrial  use  cases, including  UAV-assisted  inspections  in utilities, predictive   asset   management, and    electronic   logging    solutions   in transportation  and  logistics.

Rugged  Reliability Without Compromising Mobility

The   ZX80W  delivers  rugged  reliability  without  compromising  mobility  by combining the efficiency of the ARM architecture with the versatility of Windows 11. Powered by the Qualcomm® QCS6490, the device provides high-performance, energy-efficient  computing  in  a  compact, fanless  design, enabling  extended operation in remote locations with limited access to power. Running Windows 11   IoT   Enterprise   LTSC, the   ZX80W    brings    enterprise-level    security, software   compatibility, and    seamless   productivity   to    an   ultra-lightweight rugged  platform. This  combination  allows  field  professionals  to  enjoy  the durability   of  a   rugged   device   with   the   portability, efficiency, and   all-day usability typically associated with consumer mobile devices.

Designed for Critical Industries

Like all Getac devices, the ZX80W is specialized for harsh working environments, where many other devices would fail. Its key features include:

  • Weight:1.3lbs   /590g
  • RuggedCertification: MIL-STD-810H
  • Water & DustProtection: IP67
  • Drop Resistance: 6 ft/1.8 m
  • OperatingTemperature: -20°Fto 145°F1-29℃ to 63°℃)
  • Display: Sunlight-readable display
