purchase of rugged equipment, because operating costs will be much lower over the long-term than with non-rugged mobile platforms. This could explain why a study conducted by ABI Research in December of 2006 forecast that a new durable notebook category (also known as business-rugged) will grow at - Panasonic Toughbook 52 | Assessing the Broad Business Case for Rugged Computing - Page 4
combination of rugged features in more consumer-grade mobile devices is at the very core of product differentiation and the growing need to cater for field force enablement.

Assessing The Broad
Business Case For Rugged
Computing
This paper outlines the key demand drivers for reliable computing while
describing the elements for different levels of “ruggedness.” It reports on the
spectrum of mission-critical mobile users who have different levels of needs for
rugged computing. It provides guidelines for “certification” and testing to
accurately assess vendor claims and appropriately map the correct rugged form
factor to the required functionality.
