MINExpo International 2024 in Las Vegas held record attendance with 45,000+ mining professionals and innovators worldwide. This year’s event offered 2,000+ exhibitors within three separate exhibit halls, allowing attendees a glimpse into the future of the mining industry, with cutting-edge technologies, sustainable solutions, and new partnerships. Juniper Systems® was thrilled to be a part of such an event, with our rugged computing solutions taking center stage. Within the crowded halls, Juniper welcomed innovators in the West Hall to show off our rugged tablets and handhelds, and mapping and data collection software to help support mining endeavors. Here are the highlights from the event.
Mesa Rugged Tablets
MINExpo was yet another tradeshow where attendees witnessed our Juniper employees demonstrating how tough our Mesa™ Rugged Tablets are by dropping them to the ground without hesitation. Juniper’s ultra-rugged tablets can afford to get a bit beaten up with their robust construction. The tablets have an aluminum rigid core with bumpers for shock-proof resilience and MIL-STD-810 testing, safe from drops, shock, vibration, humidity, scorching heat, and frigid cold temperatures.
Mesa Pro Rugged Tablet
Nothing gained more interest than the Mesa Pro. This 10-inch tablet is a powerful laptop replacement for those who need more screen real estate for their projects out in the field. Input data, communicate with others in real time, upload spreadsheets, and organize information. The Mesa Pro is a rugged Windows 10 tablet and is also rated IP68 and runs on an all-day battery. Built to order, these rugged tablets are a must-have for jobs on the go.
Mesa 3 Rugged Tablet
The Mesa 3 Android was a close second for grabbing attention. This 7-inch rugged tablet is perfect for those looking for something simple. The Mesa 3 consists of all-day battery life and withstands extreme temperatures, shock, water, and dust. These are tablets made in the USA with quality-level performance at an affordable price point.

Some mining projects demand higher performance, storage, and processing. Built on the success of its predecessors, the Mesa 4 brings increased performance, faster storage, and an overall more efficient device for data collection. Take your work wherever you need to go with an Intel N200 processor, a 3.7 GHz burst processor speed, and up to 16 GB of RAM.
