PDRT

iKey worked with Pump to develop the world’s first display with a built-in dock, the PDRT, designed exclusively for the Panasonic FZ-M1 Toughpad. The display, a daylight readable, capacitive touch screen, is designed to mount in a vehicle, and giving maximum capability to the 7” M1 tablet. To allow for secure docking, and easy removal, Pump designed an innovative, spring loaded, docking and eject mechanism that accurately locates the M1 enabling charging and data connections. Pump’s design met the challenge of providing a tool-less docking station robust enough to withstand the harsh environment typical of vehicle mounting. The iKey PDRT is truly in a class of its own.
