The atmosphere at the PWX 2024 Conference was electric, buzzing with the excitement of industry leaders, innovators, and professionals coming together to shape the future of Public Works. This year’s event was a convergence of minds committed to transforming communities. Juniper Systems™ was happy to be a part of it by elevating rugged solutions for the industry. Below are the highlights.
Geode GNSS Receiver
Nothing had more interest than the ever-compact Geode GNSS Receiver. No more inconvenient antennas and wires –the Geode GNSS Receiver contains the receiver, antenna, and battery in an all-in–one lightweight construction. Available with sub-meter, sub-foot, decimeter, and centimeter accuracy options, the Geode offers precision and reliability across varying scales of data processing and analysis. The simple one-button design, threads at the bottom for pole attachment, and all-day battery life provide users with geographic information with ease.
Durable Tablets
Attendees were in for a surprise as they witnessed our Juniper employees demonstrating how tough our Mesa™ Rugged Tablets are by throwing them to the ground without hesitation and then picking them up unscathed. Juniper’s 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 performance standards, safe from drops, shock, vibration, humidity, scorching heat, and frigid cold temperatures.
Mesa® 4 Rugged Tablet
Built on the success of its predecessors, the Mesa® 4 Rugged Tablet brings increased performance, faster storage, and an overall more efficient device for data collection than the Mesa 3. 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. This rugged tablet manages demanding applications and tasks with ease. Rated IP68 as a completely dustproof and waterproof tablet, this device is ready for any rugged environment. Mesa 4 runs on Windows 11 Pro and has a 7-inch display and all-day battery life.
Mesa® Pro Rugged Tablet
The Mesa Pro Rugged Tablet is a powerful laptop replacement for those who need to take their work with them on the go. Input data, communicate with others in real-time, upload spreadsheets, and organize information. The Mesa Pro runs on Windows 10 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.
Geode Grip
Many attendees were interested in creating a complete solution for their mapping endeavors. The new Geode Grip does just that with a lightweight tray that holds your field data collection device and Geode GNSS Receiver together in one easy configuration. The GPS receiver accessory eliminates the cumbersome challenges of traditional methods of high-precision mapping, such as carrying a pole or attaching the receiver to the body which obstructs the signal. The Geode Grip streamlines data collection, improves precision, and enhances productivity by keeping everything securely in one place.
Need to use it for a smaller device? The Geode Grip for Smartphones supports a wide range of the most popular smart devices with its spring-loaded holder. From the Apple iPhone 12 Mini to the Samsung S24+, this tray accommodates practically any device with or without a case. Navigation and GIS field data collection is made even more simple with this all-in-one solution.
The PWX Conference has not only brought together industry leaders and innovators in Public Works but also sparked meaningful discussions and inspired new ideas. Until next year, let’s continue to collaborate and innovate for a better future.
