We start with an HP Rugged Tablet PC tr3000 that you can use above or below deck to wirelessly connect with your instrument package

The HP Rugged Tablet PC tr3000 is designed to be used in conditions such as rain, humidity, extreme temperatures (+4 degrees F to 140degreesF) and dust. It can also easily withstand exposure to lengthy durations of vibration and it is  intrinsically safe. It exceeds the rigorous military spec for ruggedness (MIL STD 810F) and meets the Ingress Protection rating of IP54 for dust and rain (4 inches of water per hour).  The unit is tested extensively to military specifications for “rugged”, and exceeds the requirements in quality and number of units used to pass the drop test.
