Trimble Nomad 900 now IP68 rated
Trimble announced that its Nomad 900 handheld computer has received an IP68 rating (up from IP67), which is the highest rating for protection against dust and moisture.

IP68 means the device is completely dustproof and also protected against continuous immersion (but under conditions defined by the manufacturer).
