In Saudi Arabia, where the demands of industrial operations stretch across arid deserts, scorching temperatures, and remote work locations, not just any computing device will do. Whether you're operating in oil fields near Abqaiq, overseeing logistics in Riyadh, or securing border operations in Tabuk, you need rugged mobile technology designed to thrive where standard tablets and laptops fail.

The Panasonic Toughbook FZ G2, now available in KSA through Miltec, is the next-generation fully rugged Windows tablet engineered for reliability, modularity, and performance. Built for defense, field services, logistics, utilities, and emergency response sectors in the Kingdom, the FZ-G2 is a mission-critical tool for mobile professionals.

The FZ-G2 is a 10.1-inch fully rugged Windows 11 Pro tablet, designed to offer powerful computing performance in extreme conditions. As a modular upgrade to the highly successful FZ-G1, the FZ-G2 introduces a fanless design, latest Intel® Core™ processors, and enhanced connectivity, all while maintaining military-grade toughness.

With customizable expansion bays, hot-swappable batteries, and daylight-readable display, the Toughbook FZ-G2 is ideal for field teams in KSA’s oil & gas, defense, mining, logistics, and public safety sectors.
