Juniper Systems Launches the New Alta Rugged Tablet, Powered by Android, with a Leaner Design and On-Device AI

Juniper Systems announced the Alta Rugged Tablet, the new rugged, edge AI tablet, powered by Android and built to deliver modern mobility, the latest in on-device AI capabilities, and reliable all-day performance in the most demanding environments.

Alta is purpose-built for professionals who need rugged technology that performs wherever their jobs take them. The new model features a lean design, the latest premium processor, a brighter 8-inch display, hot-swappable batteries with an optional extended battery, and an add-on passive EMR stylus.

“Alta is designed to work where you work,” said Tim Royer, Product Manager for Alta. “It was carefully matched to modern uses without blindly adding specs or features that increase cost or use more power  but do not improve the user experience.”

Among those strategic features, one of the most notable is the rugged tablet’s on-device AI capabilities. Running AI and machine learning models directly on the device, rather than on remote cloud servers, gives customers rapid data analysis and enhanced security.
