De Carlsbad Munus Computatri Tabellaris Mobilis

Carlsbad est computatrum tabellare mobile firmum ad usum vigilum et rerum urgentium factum. Carlsbad permittit ut copiosa data mobilia per rete radiophonicum Tetra in Regno Unito et Europa adhibeantur, ultra transmissionem textus et soni progrediens. Computatrum tabellare, antenna, radiophonum, et portus ingressus et egressus tegumentis ex plastico urethanico effictis, cum fascia gummea integrata, includuntur. Monitorium decem digitos et unam decimam partem metitur. Sulci digitorum et lorum manus nylonicum usum commodum dum ambulatur sustinent, et forma posterior sculpta manui aptatur per longas excubias.

Post Designum

Fasciculus Nuntii

Merita, sodales gregis et singula technica a designatore praebita.

Proprietates Singulares: The Carlsbad tetra mobile tablet PC for the police was designed to address a specific need: Allow the rich use of mobile data over the Tetra police radio network in the UK and Europe. This is one of the first Tetra radio equipped Tablet PCs. Beeching signed had to be organic, rugged and durable, and contain all the necessary components to allow Tetra radio access.
Dimensiones et Involucrum: Carslsbad is 185mm x 310 mm x 60 mm in overall dimensions. The strap adds 15mm to the thickness, increasing it to 75mm thick. The screen is 10.1in. The tablet PC runs on Windows 7. The Tetra modem and antenna is based on the Cassidian TETRA LTE radio system.
Notulae: Security, Police, Emergency, Tetra, TabletPC
Technologia Productionis: The device integrates several internal components inside plastic covers: a tablet PC, antenna, radio, and io ports. Many of these are fully certified modules, allowing a more streamlined path to market since they don't need further certifications nor bespoke manufacture. Tetra Modem components were created specifically for this device. The plastic covers and buttons are rtv molded urethane plastic. The hand strap is nylon fabric.
Provocatio Designandi: The creative challenge was creating a professional high-tech electronic device look, while maintaining fit-for-purpose functionality of a police or emergency device. Without care, the device could look overly functional and military. Carlsbad has a hand filling rear form, aided by a strap and side finger grips for comfortable in-hand use.
Investigatio: Carlsbad is the result of several previous tetra-tablet prototypes, created and evaluated in the field to allow the iteration into this device. Thin modern tablets were not durable enough, so additionally protective housing was added as rubber integrated into the form. Long use of a device carried in the hand was found to be uncomfortable, therefore forms were sculpted in clay to determine an ergonomic shape, then re-created in SolidWorks. To further increase positive grip, a hnad strap and finger grooves were incorporated in the form.
Inspiratio: The Carlsbad tablet PC is the combination of 5 to 7 Tablet PCs aimed at the specific Market. The Carlsbad is a streamlined shape, made to feel comfortable in the hand and to not catch on clothing when in Mobile use. The integrated rubber bumper feature does not add bulky bumps nor give a military or power tool feel... rather it is a sleek form that presents as a high-end technological device. The overall form was created to fit comfortably in the hand while walking.
Duratio Operis: The project started in December 2010, in Bristol and Swindon, UK. The project was completed in April 2011 and went into limited production in June 2011.
Cursus Operationis: Carlsbad was designed for mobile, on-foot use. During a police patrol, the device would be used while walking and standing, while interacting with onscreen mobile data needs. It allows use of rich data, beyond what would be available on traditional text or audio Tetra radio transmission. In emergency situations, the device works on a government network, so it would not experience the same data overload issues as a public network.
