There are many tablet devices available; however, for business use it is important to have a tablet that runs fast, with adequate memory and a good screen that can be seen in bright sunlight. 

Tablets should also be robust and be able to withstand the knocks and drops that will inevitably happen while in use in the field.

Key considerations

  • Tablets should support WiFi + Cellular (have their own SIM card)

  • We don't recommend "hot-spotting"/tethering a tablet to a phone for connectivity

  • Tablets need a GPS chip if location/visibility reporting required

  • Tablet platform - Apple, Android or Windows 

Apple - Recommended Requirements

  • Apple iPad (Mini, Air or Pro)

  • Latest iOS version (iOS16)

  • 8 GB+ of free storage space

  • WiFi + Cellular connectivity*

  • GPS (available if iPad has cellular connectivity)

* Note we do not support iOS versions less than iOS 12
