"With the advent of new technologies such as rugged tablet PCs and secure wireless communications, many law enforcement departments have seen substantial improvements in efficiencies as well as enhanced operations capabilities.  However, for some law enforcement officials operating in remote rural areas, maintaining a wireless signal can be a challenge.  But the ability to improve signal quality through the use of cellular signal boosters provides the solution law enforcement personnel have long needed.

Information such as incident reports, records databases, or something as simple as a road map are all conveniently available via a rugged tablet PC inside a patrol vehicle.  Such access provides valuable information that makes their job easier to perform and more productive over the course of the day.

The ability to utilize a rugged tablet PC in the field to compile reports remotely saves both time and money.  Oftentimes rural responders without wireless access are forced to leave a call and drive to an area substation where reports can be completed on a desktop computer.  This reduces response times and increases fuel costs due to the needless commutes back and forth to substations.

Gaining access to the technology previously only available in urban environments makes law enforcement personnel more productive in the field, reducing response times and fuel costs.  It also allows them to pursue more proactive methods in order to ensure the safety of their communities and the residents living in them." via The Ruggedized Computing Blog
