<p>The Texas Tech University Parking Services team had a growing problem of receiving fraudulent and duplicate parking passes on game days. Their outdated handheld computer systems lacked the capability to detect phony passes, and unauthorized vehicles were crowding the lots. To solve the problem, Texas Tech equipped attendants with 25 <a target="_self" href="http://www.islandtechservices.com/Products/101-toughbook-u1.aspx">Panasonic Toughbook U1</a> computers with integrated barcode scanners and mobile broadband for real time communications. This state-of-the-art rugged mobile computing solution now allow attendants to easily weed out invalid passes and work with greater efficiency to meet the parking needs of 30,000 students.</p>

         <title><![CDATA[Panasonic toughbooks in extreme conditions]]></title>
         <author><![CDATA[Island Tech Services, LLC]]></author>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Panasonic recently received a note from Luke Johnson (a member of research expedition conducted by The North Face and The Mayo Clinic) to study elite athletes in extreme environments on Mt. Aconcagua in South America. In that note, luke johnson explained how his expedition tested the durability and releability of a couple Toughbook 30s.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://www.panasonic.com/business/toughbook/widgets/mayo/picture5.jpg" /></p>
<p>Dear Toughbook,</p>
<p>&quot;I was recently on a research expedition with The North Face and The Mayo Clinic on Mount Aconcagua (6,962 m 22,841 ft): the highest mountain in the America's. In an effort to more fully understand the limits of human adaptation, we developed a unique program to test and evaluate individuals who regularly demonstrate elite level performance in adverse environmental conditions. The program aims to use this knowledge to expand the limits of human performance in adverse conditions, to test new technologies that remotely monitor human physiology, and to develop educational materials that disseminate the results of this research. The information gathered from this testing and analysis will provide new knowledge about the limits of human performance and aid the development of new technologies that will allow physiologic monitoring in a non-clinical setting. Since many human diseases force clinical patients to their physiological limits, knowledge gained from athletes pushing the boundaries of human performance in extreme environments promises to advance the care of patients, especially those with cardiac and/or pulmonary disease.<br />
<br />
In order to properly monitor individuals in the field and collect data in these adverse environmental conditions, we needed a computer that would survive the expedition and withstand the unpredictable variables of the Mountain. We decided to go with two Fully Rugged Toughbook 30's. The Toughbooks were used the entire expedition, from Mendoza (2,428 ft), Confluencia (10,498 ft), Plaza de Mulas 13,779 ft), Plaza Don Fernando (15,748 ft), to Plaza Don Benegas (17,700 ft). The Toughbooks withstood temperatures down to -20 C, winds up to 40 mph, and various extreme snow/ice conditions. It was strapped to the backs of mules; as they road through streams, rain and snow storms, and was thrown in multiple packs on the go, during many rugged trips up the mountain. The Toughbooks survived through it all, and fulfilled a critical role in completing the task we set out for.&quot;<br />
<br />
