In public safety and field operations, technology failure isn’t just frustrating, it introduces operational risk. When rugged devices fail in the field, the cost isn’t limited to repair. It can mean delayed reporting, lost situational awareness, compromised safety, and reduced service continuity. That’s why warranty coverage isn’t a footnote, it’s a strategic decision. And it’s why agencies increasingly turn to Getac. The Real Cost of Downtime Traditional ha …
