Emergency service resources in the UK remain limited and are in constant demand. Rapid response teams often use computer equipment to log and monitor situations in the field, and demand the most reliable and robust equipment in order to do so. It is essential that this mission-critical equipment remains operational regardless of the circumstances and environment in which it is used.
Rugged Systems has many years previous and ongoing experience with the various emergency services and we understand the needs of the field teams.

Operating System Customization
Do you need better battery life on your product? Do you need a more secure hardware platform? Would you like to reduce bootup time and increase performance?
In addition to mechanical and electrical customisation, Steatite is able to support requests for custom operating systems such as Windows Embedded Standard and can supply units with the custom image pre-installed on traditional magnetic media or various forms of flash media.
Through using Windows Embedded Standard you can take advantage of the many benefits of an operating system specifically designed for your needs whilst maintaining the full hardware and software support you have come to expect from the Microsoft Windows XP environment, thus removing the need for heavy redevelopment costs on software currently running under a Microsoft Windows environment.
