Latest Toughpad completes the Panasonic seven inch rugged tablet family, suitable for any mobile worker in any business and any industry

Panasonic today launched its most powerful and flexible Android business tablet with the introduction of the seven inch display, rugged Toughpad FZ-B2. 

With its extreme battery life, brilliant daylight clear display and flexible business configuration options, the Toughpad FZ-B2 is a work tool for mobile workers using light applications or businesses taking advantage of open source operating systems.

The Android device was unveiled at the ICT Exhibition, at Utrecht in the Netherlands, and completes the Toughpad family of seven inch rugged tablets, including the FZ-M1 and FZ-M1 Value with Windows 8.1. 

For businesses, this means that all three devices now use the same platform, meaning peripherals such as Lite-cradle, vehicle dock, hand straps, multi battery charger and additional batteries can be used with any device in the range.

Jan Kaempfer, head of European marketing at Panasonic computer product solutions, said: “With the Toughpad FZ-B2 we have designed the most powerful and flexible business Android tablet on the market. Alongside our other outstanding Windows-based seven inch Toughpads, we have a family of business rugged tablets that can be tailored to meet the needs of any mobile worker, in any business, in any industry.”

Running the Android 4.4 operating system, the device uses the latest state of the art Intel Celeron Processor N2930 quadcore 1.83GHz up to 2.16GHz, with a 2GB RAM and 32GB of storage capacity.
