LOGIC INSTRUMENT : Kathrein, the specialist for antenna systems, uses Fieldbook E1 rugged tablets from LOGIC INSTRUMENT for GPS-based azimuth alignment

LOGIC INSTRUMENT, the expert for rugged mobile computing, supports Kathrein, the world's market leader in the field of antenna systems, with its rugged Fieldbook E1 tablet for GPS-based azimuth alignment of mobile radio antennas.

To have an exact parameter measurement for the position, altitude and azimuth orientation, an optimal signal reception as well as a wireless communication are necessary. A sensor unit, mounted either between the mast and antenna or directly attached with a belt, fulfills the first requirement. Then, LOGIC INSTRUMENT's rugged Android tablet, Fieldbook E1, enables the WiFi connection to create the job tasks. Location and project data are entered into the company's own Kathrein Android App. A barcode on the back of the antenna gives further information that can be read easily with the integrated barcode scanner of the Fieldbook. The rugged tablet offers great benefits as to the documentation of the position and the location of the antenna: Stored GPS parameters are immediately displayed on a map and photos of the location are directly inserted into the report. The results can be saved in secured PDF or XML format and easily sent by email. In addition, the sunlight readable Fieldbook E1 defies drops up to 1.80 meters height - perfect for those outdoor conditions.

"The tablet corresponds exactly to our requirements," says product manager Stefan Reichelt. "The installers can work properly with it in any weather conditions - in sunlight as well as pouring rain and extreme temperatures. In addition, the extremely rugged design convinced us and the positive feedback from our customers confirms our expectations in the Fieldbook."     

Jacques Gebran, CEO of Logic instrument, enthuses: "I ​​welcome the opening of the market for Logic Instrument, because in this area, Kathrein is a global key player."
