The GX Magnum is specifically designed for several industries, including: public safety, EMS, mining, farming, marine, and construction, as well as other environments requiring durability and the necessity to read a computer screen in direct sunlight.

The GX Magnum boasts a low-heat, highly-efficient 1 GHz Via processor, 512 MB DRAM, solid-state or rotating hard drives, and both local and wide area wireless options.

Each unit has a 10.4" high contrast display, touchscreen, soft shut-down button, and a special LCD on/off switch for nighttime safety in police vehicles.

The GX 10" Magnum unit rounds out the product line, currently consisting of 12" and 15" versions.

Glacier also offers a rugged tablet and laptop for portable harsh environment challenges.

"The GX Magnum possesses the computing power, ruggedness, and the ability to use the display in all lighting conditions that many industries demand," states John Geary, Vice President of Sales.
