The Toughbook 40 is Panasonic’s fully rugged 14″ flagship, built for operations that cannot tolerate a failed device. This configuration is the cost-efficient Wi-Fi build — no integrated cellular or GPS — with the same sealed chassis and modular architecture as the fully connected models.
Base configuration: Wi-Fi 7 connectivity with no integrated cellular or GPS — the lowest-cost entry to the FZ-40 platform, expandable to 4G or 5G later via xPAK.
Built for the worst conditions
The FZ-40 is Panasonic’s fully rugged flagship. Certified to MIL-STD-810H with IP66 sealing, it handles drops, shock, vibration, driving rain, and dust well beyond what semi-rugged hardware survives — the platform you specify when downtime is not an option. The emissive backlit keyboard keeps night and in-vehicle work fast.
Performance you can rely on
The Intel Core Ultra 5 135H vPro processor delivers strong multicore performance for CAD/RMS, AVL, GIS, diagnostics, and other mission-critical software. With 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB OPAL SSD, it boots fast, handles heavy workloads, and keeps data encrypted through long duty cycles. The 14″ FHD glove-capable touchscreen stays readable outdoors, in-vehicle, and in the station.
Modular and upgrade-ready
The FZ-40’s modular architecture lets agencies tailor and update hardware across the device lifecycle. Expansion options (sold separately) include:
- xPAK modules for additional I/O or authentication
- Secondary battery options
- Smartcard readers and fingerprint modules
- Vehicle docks, mounts, and antenna systems
User-replaceable RAM, SSD, battery, and keyboard extend lifecycle value and reduce downtime across fleet deployments.
