DAP Technologies will today introduce the M9705 tablet at ProMat 2013. The device is designed as a solution for enterprise customers who want the screen size and lightweight features of a consumer tablet but also need a unit built to withstand extreme environments.

At just 1.7 pounds and less than an inch thick, the tablet is designed for mobility in a variety of environments. These features, however, do not come at the expense of rugged construction. The tablet is built to IP54 standards and is protected against water, dust, and four-foot drops to concrete.

The device, which features a 9.7-inch display, comes standard with the Android 4.0 operating system and provides multiple communication options, including WLAN and Bluetooth.
