    "The new Algiz 10X is perfectly suited for field professionals who need a rugged

protecting against dust, water, vibrations, drops, extreme temperatures and varying

    The Algiz 10X's brilliant display features the latest generation of MaxView
technology. The tablet also comes with a u-blox GPS receiver and WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS
capability, plus Bluetooth 4.0, WLAN 802.11 b/g/n and it is WWAN Gobi 3000-ready with
fully integrated modem and antennas for wireless connectivity. It has a built-in
5-megapixel camera with LED flash, and several connectivity opportunities, including

10X comes with increased processing power and storage plus a larger display - something
that the market has been asking for," said Hellstrom.
