In the demanding landscapes of New Zealand and Australia, generic consumer technology often fails when it’s needed most, explains Paul Scoble, owner and director of Rugged Tablets (NZ) Ltd.
Scoble says that since its inception as a part-time, home-based business in 2009, Rugged Tablets has evolved into a “premier specialist in high-performance, durable mobile solutions”.
Based in Cambridge, the company draws on more than 15 years of industry expertise to provide hardware specifically engineered for the harshest environments.
“Our RuggedTab and OneRugged brands offer military-grade tablets, laptops, and handhelds that withstand extreme temperatures, drops, and spills,” says Scoble.
Beyond durability, the company also prioritises accessibility. A landmark 2025 partnership with PB Tech ensures the “innovative range” is available nationwide.
“From intrinsically safe devices for hazardous sites to bespoke OEM manufacturing, Rugged Tablets remains a vital partner for industries like construction, logistics, and engineering, proving that true resilience is built from the ground up.”
