Tough, light-weight consoles that work with standard vehicle mounts

(RAM product page)

There are many solutions when it comes to mounting and securing computers in a vehicle. Depending on the application, a system must be mounted securely so that it cannot be easily removed or stolen, or the mount must allow quick and easy insertion and removal. Large notebooks have different mounting requirements from lightweight slates or handhelds. Some systems require vehicle power whereas others run on their own power source and may use vehicle power only for charging. There are also situations where no standard mount or dock can possibly accommodate all the extra features, connectors, switches, and electronics required. Examples are police cars, EMS vehicles, military transports, and other mobile environments that include complex electronics. This is where console boxes come in.

Until now, no one has offered versatile, high quality vehicle consoles that easily integrated with computer mounts. Police departments and others with complex in-vehicle wiring and computing requirement simply had to make things fit.
