The RangerX is One Tough Tablet

Today, tablets have taken on a different course and a wider market base, as well. From being a device exclusively used by on-the-go professionals these device have now become a popular household and office device that everyone can use. Tablets have also gone beyond its limited and specialized function to embrace more general functions. For example, these gadgets can now be used to take on business communication-related functions. This means that you can integrate these mobile devices to your RingCentral hosted VoIP PBX (or any other similar systems) back in your office.

With the versatility of the tablet—you can use this device for entertainment purposes such as movie viewing and gaming—has contributed much to its growing popularity. It stands heads and shoulders with the other two popular gadgets, the smartphone and the laptop.

But there are times when the common tablets, which are relatively fragile devices, just would not do in specific situations. Such is the case when you need to perform tough tasks whenever you are outdoors.  In this situation, you need a more rugged tablet that can withstand the demands and rigors of everyday life. One such tablet it’s the RangerX, which is manufactured by the Xplore Technologies.
