Product Content
Full Rugged Performance in the World's Most Compact Form
The R8 packs Intel® Core™ i5-1230U (up to 4.4 GHz, 10 cores) and Coolfinity™ fanless thermal technology into an 8-inch, 0.86 kg form that goes anywhere a mobile worker goes. MIL-STD-810H certification, IP66 rating, and 6-foot drop protection make the R8 one of the most capable ultra-compact rugged tablets available.
The 8-inch LCD with 800 nits DynaVue® technology provides excellent outdoor visibility without the weight and bulk of larger rugged tablets — making the R8 the ideal choice for field workers who need constant tablet access throughout their working day.
Every Data Collection Option in One Ultra-Compact Device
The R8's modular I/O expansion slot supports optional 1D/2D barcode reader, magnetic stripe reader, smart card/CAC reader with LF/HF-RFID (NFC) or UHF-RFID, and RS-232/RJ45/USB 3.2 Gen1 expansion — making it a true multi-purpose data collection platform without requiring separate handheld devices.
An optional 8.0 MP rear camera with flash and an optional front IR camera for Windows Hello authentication round out the R8's data capture and security capabilities, creating a complete enterprise mobile data terminal in a pocketable 8-inch form.
All-Day Power with Full Mobile Connectivity
The R8 delivers up to 8.5 hours of standard battery life, extendable to up to 17 hours with an optional high-capacity battery — covering the longest field shifts. Intel® Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth V5.3, optional 4G LTE, and optional GPS module provide complete wireless connectivity for fleet management, asset tracking, and real-time field reporting.
A Nano SIM slot, Thunderbolt 4, USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C, and a 41-pin Pogo docking connector ensure the R8 integrates seamlessly with vehicle docks, office docks, and enterprise charging solutions for continuous shift operation.
Enterprise-Grade Security in a Field-Ready Form Factor
Intel® vPro™ Technology, TPM 2.0, stealth mode, and night vision mode provide the hardware security foundation. Optional smart card/CAC reader, LF/HF-RFID (NFC), UHF-RFID, and optional Windows Hello IR camera cover every enterprise authentication scenario for government, public safety, and regulated industry use.
Target applications include field service, public safety, law enforcement, healthcare delivery, logistics, manufacturing QC, and retail inventory management — any scenario where a full 11-inch tablet is too large for comfortable continuous carry, but enterprise computing power and rugged certification are non-negotiable.
