The Toughbook 40 is Panasonic’s fully rugged 14″ flagship, and this configuration is built for vehicle deployment: 4G LTE broadband, differential GPS, COM Splitter routing for serial devices, and quad antenna pass-through for roof-mounted systems.
Built for the patrol vehicle: 4G LTE EM7690, DGPS accuracy, COM Splitter for serial peripherals, and quad pass-through antenna support for optimal in-vehicle modem and GPS performance.
Connectivity & positioning
- 4G LTE EM7690 for dependable nationwide coverage
- Differential GPS for high-accuracy positioning
- COM Splitter for serial device support
- Quad antenna pass-through, BIOS selectable, for roof-mounted antennas
- Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth for station and hotspot connectivity
These directly support CAD/RMS, AVL and fleet tracking, mapping and GIS, and dispatch and situational-awareness platforms.
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.
