The FZ-M1 Panasonic Toughpad weighs in at only a little over 1 pound and has a display that measures only 7 inches. The small form factor of the M1 Toughpad coupled with its numerous optional integrations allow it to serve a wide variety of high mobility job codes. However, the small display of the Panasonic Toughpad M1 can be not only one of its greatest strengths, but also one of its few drawbacks. For example: The FZ-M1 can be taken to an accident site where emergency responders can utilize it to document and report the accident; however, what happens when the police or firefighter would like to see an enlarged view of the report or have a larger space to navigate and/or update it? iKey has recently developed the answer to that question.
Designed exclusively for the Panasonic Toughpad FZ-M1, iKey’s new PDRT (Permanent Display Removable Tablet) is the perfect accompaniment to the mobility of the Toughpad. The iKey PDRT is a screen and port replicating dock for the M1 Toughpad. Featuring a 12.1” two-point capacitive touchscreen that can be set up to 1000 nits of brightness, the PDRT can almost double the screen size of the FZ-M1 in an instant. Able to be docked with a VESA mount pattern, the PDRT can be placed in almost any vehicle or work station. Utilizing plug and play USB technology, a user can drop the FZ-M1 into the PDRT and be utilizing the larger screen in an instant; while in the reverse, a simple button press releases the M1 and allows the user to remain mobile in the field.
“The PDRT is designed for customers working in areas where space is limited and an expanded workplace is imperative,” said Steve Meyer, CEO of iKey. The PDRT not only replicates the screen and the ports of the FZ-M1, utilizing the docking connector, it also expands the number and type of ports that the M1 already includes. The FZ-M1 Toughpad features a default of 1 USB 3.0 port, the iKey PDRT expands that into 4 USB 2.0 ports, 2 USB 3.0 port and 2 Ethernet ports. Keeping the mobility of the M1 while adding to its versatility as a work station, the iKey PDRT is a fantastic accessory for an already great tool.
