Bringing mobile technology into rugged environments
Technology has improved forestry fieldwork tremendously, and TDS offers a variety of tools that give you the best combination of performance, affordability and field-ready rugged design. To move up from paper tally sheets, DOS-based systems or fragile PDAs with short battery life, try the rugged TDS Nomad, TDS Recon or TDS Ranger handheld computers. They all meet stringent military standards for drops, vibration and temperature extremes, and they're impervious to dust and moisture. Plus they run familiar Windows software and feature a standard 15-hour rechargeable battery life. The Recon has two CompactFlash slots that allow you to add GPS or other capabilities, while the Ranger features a full keypad for easy data entry. Add TDS SOLO Forest mapping software to help lay out roads or determine harvest plans. Make full use of our technology tools to make your work more efficient.
