Compact and lightweight form-factor meets powerful edge AI performance in Getac’s versatile new offerings, built on ARM architecture

News in brief:

Getac is expanding its ZX80 range of fully rugged 8-inch devices with the launch of the ZX80W and ZX80W-EX.Both AI-ready devices are powered by Windows 11 and built on energy-efficient ARM architecture, for extensive periods of uninterrupted operation in the field.The ZX80W-EX is also ATEX/IECEx Zone 2/22 certified and features a range of intrinsically safe design features that make it suitable for use in hazardous and/or potentially explosive environments.

TAIPEI, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Getac Technology Corporation (Getac), a leading provider of rugged computing and mobile video solutions and a manufacturer with advanced in-house capabilities, today announced the expansion of its ZX80 range of 8-inch fully rugged tablets with the launch of the new ZX80W and ZX80W-EX – two lightweight, highly mobile Windows 11 devices built on ARM architecture.

With these launches, Getac is meeting growing customer demand for power-efficient, fanless rugged solutions running the Windows 11 operating system (OS), that can be used in a wide range of industrial environments and scenarios, such as those found in the defence, utilities, and transport & logistics sectors.

Built on energy efficient ARM architecture

The ZX80W and ZX80W-EX both utilise Qualcomm®’s innovative QCS6490 platform, built on ARM architecture, which is renowned for its exceptional energy efficiency and high performance-per-watt. The result is a fast, fanless computing experience that enables users to work uninterrupted for long periods of time, even when operating in remote locations where access to device charging facilities is limited. Both devices also feature 12GB of inbuilt LPDDR5 memory for smooth multitasking, while 256GB of universal flash storage (UFS) provides ample capacity for on-device storage needs.

Windows 11 functionality in a compact form factor

The ZX80W highlights the transformative power of Windows on ARM in the rugged industry. Traditionally, delivering full Windows functionality in the field required larger, power-hungry processors. By leveraging ARM’s exceptional thermal and energy efficiency, the ZX80W effortlessly runs Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC in a remarkably compact, fanless chassis. The difference for customers is profound: it provides the robust security and app compatibility of a true Windows ecosystem, but with the extreme lightweight agility and all-day battery life previously reserved for Android devices.

AI-driven edge intelligence

The ZX80W and ZX80W-EX feature a 6th Generation Qualcomm AI Engine to unlock real-time intelligence at the edge. Their Qualcomm® Hexagon NPU delivers high-speed recognition with real-time analytics and on-device automation designed to maximize productivity in demanding field environments, reducing cloud dependency for faster, more reliable processing when an internet connection is patchy or unavailable.

This powerful edge functionality makes both devices ideally suited to a range of use cases including UAV flight control in the utilities industry, and predictive asset management (or hazardous environments with the ZX80W-EX), and electronic logging devices (ELDs) in transport and logistics.

Fully rugged, outdoor-ready

Like all Getac devices, the ZX80W and ZX80W-EX are built rugged from the ground up to thrive in environments where many other devices would fail. Both devices are MIL-STD-810H and IP67 certified, vibration and 6ft (1.8m) drop resistant, featuring a daylight-readable display, and boast a wide operating temperature range (ZX80W: -29 to +63 ˚C / -20 to +145 ˚F, ZX80W-EX: -21°C to 55°C / -5.8°F to 131°F). Despite all this, the ZX80W weighs just 590g, while the ZX80W-EX weighs 780g, making them incredibly lightweight for extended use in the field.

In addition, the ZX80W-EX is also ATEX/IECEx Zone 2/22 certified for operator safety in hazardous and/or potentially explosive environments. Further intrinsically safe design features include 0.6mm thicker display glass for greater durability, an enhanced back cover for increased impact protection, secure port cover for the main docking connector, and mylar seals on all exposed screw covers.

“Effective digital transformation requires extending the enterprise core directly into the field,” says James Hwang, President of Getac Technology Corporation. “The ZX80W series is engineered to support this vision. By delivering a compact 8-inch form factor with the proven efficiency of Windows on ARM, we are helping organizations bridge the gap between traditional IT infrastructure and frontline operations. From standard fieldwork to hazardous environments, we are equipping our customers with a versatile tool that maximizes mobility while upholding strict enterprise security and performance standards.”

ZX80W and ZX80W-EX will be available in July 2026. For more information, please visit www.getac.com

TAIPEI, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LITEON Technology announced a major milestone in AI-RAN innovation through its collaboration with the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and SUTD’s spinoff company, NeuroRAN at COMPUTEX 2026. The joint demonstration showcases how AI can be natively integrated into 5G Radio Access Networks (RAN), enabling real-time, privacy-preserving, and energy-efficient edge AI applications.

At the core of the solution is dynamic AI model partitioning. LITEON provides the high-performance O-RU (Radio Unit) integrated with the AI-RAN infrastructure, while SUTD develops AI applications leveraging advanced deep learning models such as the Swin Transformer for real-time video object detection. The solution runs on NVIDIA AI infrastructure, integrating NVIDIA AI Aerial software and high-performance computing to tightly couple AI with 5G networks.

A key innovation is the use of AI-driven spectrum sensing to inform decisions to dynamically distribute AI workloads between user equipment (UE) and edge/cloud environments based on real-time network conditions. Compared with traditional fixed partitioning, this approach significantly reduces latency, optimizes energy consumption, and ensures that sensitive data remains on-device, enhancing both privacy and performance.

The demonstration also integrates a distributed UPF (dUPF) with the 5G core network, further reducing end-to-end latency and strengthening edge AI deployment capabilities for real-world applications such as smart cities, intelligent surveillance, and industrial automation.

Richard Chiang, General Manager of LITEON’s Smart Life Application Strategic Business Unit, said: “Through our collaboration with SUTD and NeuroRAN, we are accelerating AI-RAN from vision to commercialization. By combining LITEON’s expertise in O-RAN and radio infrastructure with advanced NVIDIA AI platforms and applications, we aim to deliver more flexible and efficient network architectures for telecom operators and enterprises.”

Chen Bin Bin, Associate Professor at SUTD and Deputy Director of the Future Communications R&D Programme (FCP), said: “SUTD and our spinoff company, NeuroRAN, are thrilled to partner with LITEON in developing this cutting-edge AI-RAN demonstration. It showcases how intelligent 5G networks can play a key role in enabling new physical AI use cases.”

Looking ahead, LITEON will continue to expand its AI-RAN ecosystem partnerships and accelerate the deployment of real-time AI applications. In addition to AI-RAN commercialization, LITEON plans to provide telecom operators with a flexible AI development environment leveraging NVIDIA DGX Spark platforms, enabling operators to accelerate the research, validation, and deployment of next-generation edge AI applications and services. By utilizing DGX Spark for AI model development and small-scale testing, telecom operators can rapidly prototype innovative AI-driven use cases before scaling them across commercial 5G and future network infrastructures.
