Android Rugged Tablet Manufacturer

CENAVA builds Android rugged tablets in Shenzhen. The current range runs from 8 to 10.95 inches, with IP65, IP67 or IP68 sealing depending on the model, 5,550–20,000 mAh batteries, and factory options like 2D scan engines, UHF RFID, RTK and Tiantong satellite messaging. Most models include RS232 and 100M Ethernet — usually the reason buyers choose them over a consumer tablet.

Typical deployments: warehouse picking, parcel sorting, vehicle mounting, field inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Android Rugged Tablets

1.What is an Android rugged tablet, and how is it different from a consumer tablet?

An industrial tablet running Android inside a reinforced, sealed enclosure. The practical differences: it survives a 1.2 m drop onto concrete, keeps working in rain and dust, and adds industrial ports (RS232, RJ45, POGO pins) that consumer tablets don't have. Protection is not one-size-fits-all — our range covers IP65, IP67 and IP68, so match the rating to your site instead of paying for sealing you don't need. Whatever you pick, ask for the test report for your exact configuration, since optional modules can alter the enclosure.

2.Which Android version should I choose?

Take the newest version your software supports. Newer Android means a longer security-patch window and easier GMS/MDM enrolment; stay on an older version only when an existing app requires it. Drop resistance is a separate question — the 1.2 m MIL-STD-810H rating is listed per model in the comparison table, not tied to the OS.

3. Do the tablets support 1D and 2D barcode scanning?

Yes. The A10ST-5G has a 1D/2D scan engine built in; most other models take one as a factory option. When requesting a quote, include your barcode symbologies and typical scan distance, since engine choice depends on both.

4. Do Android rugged tablets support NFC and RFID?

NFC comes standard on most models; HF/LF/UHF RFID can be configured per project.

5. Do the tablets support 4G, 5G and GPS?

Three models ship with 5G on the MT6877 platform: the A10ST-5G, A10STX-5G and A80ST-5G. The rest run 4G LTE. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are standard across the range, and positioning covers GPS, Galileo and GLONASS. Cellular bands differ by country and carrier, so give us your destination market and we'll verify band compatibility before production.

6. Can an Android rugged tablet be used outdoors?

Yes. Standard panels run at 550–700 cd/m², with a 1,000 cd/m² high-brightness option on some models, and the touch layer works with gloves and wet hands. Most of our outdoor shipments go to field service and utility inspection. One honest caveat: brightness specs don't guarantee readability at your site. Ask for a sample and test it in actual sunlight before committing to a volume order.

7. Can CENAVA customize an Android rugged tablet?

Yes. Two tiers. Light customization — logo, packaging, pre-installed apps — starts at an MOQ of 1 unit per model. Deeper work (market-specific cellular bands, integrated scan engines or UHF RFID, fingerprint and ID-card readers, extra ports, docks, vehicle mounts) is quoted per project, and MOQ scales with how much hardware changes. Send your requirements list and we'll tell you which tier it falls into, usually within a working day.

8. Do you offer ATEX/IECEx certified tablets?

Yes — see our Explosion-Proof Tablets range, covering ATEX (2014/34/EU), IECEx, and MA/KA mining certifications.
