Itronix has served the public utility industry with wireless - rugged Windows based computing solutions since 1997. Applications in the public utility industry make challenging demands on mobile computing devices, often requiring 24/7 performance in a variety of extreme environments where speed and safety are equally critical. Itronix's wireless and secure ultra-rugged hardware products meet and exceed these challenging application needs.

Itronix offers wireless, rugged solutions for a wide-variety of utility /energy applications. A growing trend is for public utility company employees is to use wireless, rugged computing platforms beyond the realm of field service. Itronix customers are increasingly using the technology across different work groups, such as construction, pipe and pole inspections, meter shop, locating, substation and plant maintenance and other departments to improve productivity and cut costs.

Itronix wireless, rugged computers have been used for years in the roughest field conditions imaginable. Rain, snow, dust, dirt, heat and cold–from the top of a windy 100’ transmission tower to the wet, muddy depths of a utility trench, nothing affects the computing performance of the Notebook, Handheld & Tablet products.

“Itronix Notebooks are great. With the color display, you can see everything in great detail, and it’s much easier to read. You can zoom in and out and get better detail,” stated a Public Utility IT Manager. “The GoBook III Notebook computer uses powerful, integrated wireless technology that relays dispatch and technical information anywhere–from a remote vehicle to an underground utility tunnel” using wireless cellular technology. An 802.11b radio is available for a LAN connection when the device is used inside the utilities offices.

Over 90% of Itronix Utility customers are wirelessly enabled, and over 50% have deployed multiple wireless technologies, such as 802.11b, Bluetooth; and wireless WAN technologies, such as CDMA 1xRTT, CDPD, and GPRS or private radio. Itronix computing solutions enable these customers to make the most of their wireless investment with our innovative wireless performance features like CRMA® and Mobility XE™.

Itronix computers feature Common Radio Module Technology (CRMA) that enable users to easily and cost-effectively upgrade to new wireless technologies as they become available. These upgrades can easily be performed in the field, so there is no need to send the units back for service. Keeping mobile workers functioning at all times is the key to improving your service and productivity–Itronix innovations makes that happen for the utility/energy industry.
