Challenge
The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission operates across some of the most demanding public safety environments in the country, from shorelines and waterways to off-road terrain and open water patrols. Officers required rugged technology capable of handling extreme heat, humidity, vibration, saltwater exposure, and unpredictable field conditions while remaining fully operational in mission-critical situations.
Solution
To support these demanding operations, Florida Fish & Wildlife deployed the GETAC V110 Fully Rugged Convertible Laptop alongside GETAC BC-02 Body-Worn Cameras. The V110 provided a highly mobile, versatile platform that seamlessly transitioned between laptop and tablet functionality for use in vehicles, boats, and field environments. The BC-02 body-worn camera delivered rugged, waterproof, full-HD video capture designed for real-world law enforcement operations.
Benefits
With GETAC rugged technology in place, Florida Fish & Wildlife officers gained reliable mobile computing and video capabilities built specifically for harsh operational environments. The BC-02 body-worn camera provided IP68 and MIL-STD-810G certified durability, low-light recording capabilities, and extended battery performance for full-shift operation.
The GETAC V110 delivered secure and dependable performance with a waterproof keyboard, sunlight-readable touchscreen display, and flexible laptop-to-tablet mobility for officers operating across land and water patrol environments.
Florida Fish & Wildlife also leveraged GETAC Device Monitoring System (GDMS) technology to help proactively monitor and maintain mission-critical devices, reducing the risk of equipment failure in the field.
