For jobs that demand fast performance, multi-display support, and the ruggedness to survive the harshest environments, SECO USA has developed the Hydra-F6 rugged tablet. Utilizing the multi-core Cortex-A9 i.MX 6 processor from Freescale and a revolutionary low power, sunlight-readable display, the Hydra-F6 was created for OEMs and system integrators requiring a quick solution for military, medical, or other industrial or commercial uses. The fully rugged tablet offers the versatility and portability of a consumer tablet with the durability and long production life of a MIL-SPEC mobile device. 
The SECO USA Hydra-F6 meets all specifications for temperature, fluid contaminates, solar radiation, fungus and immersion, while offering the full functionality expected from a compact mobile tablet.
The tablet design features a 7” WSVGA, sunlight-readable display with automatic brightness control and display rotation. A resistive multi-touch Gorilla Glass touch panel, four programmable buttons, volume buttons and a power button make up the user interface. Features include: camera, microphone, stereo speaker output, haptic feedback and Qi wireless battery charging of the 37WHr 3.7V Lithium Polymer battery. The low-power design can run up to 8 hours on a full charge and weighs less than 25 ounces.
The system’s expansion dock connector enables external connections via USB, DC power input, HDMI, SATA, and Gigabit Ethernet, and RS-232. The Hydra-F6 is available as a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) tablet or with SECO USA’s full range of design services to customize for application-specific needs. Options include alternative display sizes, camera resolutions, peripherals, docking solutions, operating systems, configuration lock-down, security features, and centralized asset tracking. Fully custom tablets may be private labeled with enclosures of alternate sizes, colors, shapes, buttons, external connections, materials, and design to meet project requirements.
