"For installing EV charging stations we count on our 40 technicians, who install charging stations every day, regardless of the weather. We chose TOUGHBOOK because the devices already proved their reliability and solidity within other Circet projects. When installing the charging stations it was very important to use Windows. But more importantly, the devices require different, specific ports to configure."

"It is also a very flexible device because there are many plug-in options… The individual diagnostic modules can be connected to one another. There are plenty of connectivity slots. The TOUGHBOOK is also very robust and is very reliable. When it gets dropped, it always still works. There are no problems operating the tablet - even when wearing thick gloves."
Kärcher, Europe
"We put Absolute Secure Access in the devices and it just worked. The user experience is massively enhanced. It's opened up a whole new world of connectivity for us… The diagnostic tools are particularly strong. It gives us a coverage map, by device, by 2G/3G/4G, and a view of connectivity across the whole area."
