Trimble's Mobile Computing Solutions Division and AutoID Specialties offer innovative computer products that enable mobile workers to be more efficient in extreme outdoor and industrial environments.

Trimble handhelds are known to be the most rugged and reliable on the market today. The Juno, Ranger, Nomad, Yuma, and Kenai are outdoor rugged tablets and handheld computers that help users collect accurate field data and work more productively in any outdoor or service-related application.

Trimble's mobile computers meet MIL-STD-810G military specifications for drops, vibration, submersion and temperature extremes. With IP65 tp IP68 ratings, they are protected against water and dust. Most models offer a choice of standard 2-4 meter or enhanced 1-2 meter GNSS accuracy.
