Part of the success is due to the introduction of the Fieldbook I1 at end of 2014, which was well-received by many customers in test and pilot phases. The 10-inch, full HD tablet that features a Core-i5 CPU, 4GB of RAM, RFID, 4G connectivity, a 2D barcode scanner, and runs on Windows 8.1 is a reliable partner for use in the most adverse environmental conditions. It meets the high requirements of IP65 and MIL-STD810G standards.

Additionally, several batches of rugged tablet PCs have been delivered to industrial and military customers in France and abroad, such as Thales and Airbus Defense. Another batch of the HCN Navigator tablets was delivered to Hotel Communication Network at the beginning of the year.

2015 Predictions

The group is confident about the evolution of its turnover for the year 2015. Many projects in are in the process of being negotiated in different industry sectors.

In September 2015, Logic Instrument plans to announce a wide range of tablets, smartphones and connected objects in a coherent ecosystem to meet business needs for ergonomic, resistant, embedded software interfaces and data security.

The first installment in this new range will be the Fieldbook F1, a tough Dual-SIM smartphone with a 6-inch HD-screen that comes in a standard and Fieldbook Secure version with Cryptosmart Mobile. The Fieldbook F1 will be available in October 2015.
