|

geodesy data, sales data, network checks, patient data in a hospital and

others. There is support for wireless data connections via cellular phone
|
|
modems and amateur radio. I am not sure whether <SPAN

|

> There are laptops available with cases build for a rugged environment
|
|
(even waterproof laptops). In some environments, for instance in
|
|
hospitals, take care of the Electro-Magnetic-Compatibility of the
|
|
laptop. This is influenced by many factors, for instance by the material
|
|
used to build the case. Usually magnesium cases shield better than the
|
|
ones made of plastics.
