Christmas Update: Our delivery cutoff has now passed. Orders placed now may not arrive before December 25th.

Experience the ultimate in accessible technology with the 8849 Tank Pad. This is not just a rugged tablet; it is a portable communication, visual, and sensory hub. Featuring a built-in DLP projector and an industry-leading 21,000mAh battery, it is a powerful piece of assistive technology designed to support NDIS participants with visual impairments, sensory processing needs, or complex communication goals.
The integration of a projector and massive battery addresses unique functional barriers:
Supporting Low Vision (The Projector): The built-in DLP projector allows users to cast documents, websites, or communication boards onto a wall at up to 100 inches. This massive magnification is a game-changer for participants with visual impairments, allowing them to view content clearly without straining to see a small screen.
Sensory Regulation & Calming: Use the projector to cast calming visuals (like stars, nature scenes, or lava lamps) onto a ceiling or wall. This turns any room into a Sensory Room, helping participants with Autism or anxiety de-escalate and self-regulate anywhere they go.
Enhancing Group Communication: For group therapy or social settings, the projector allows a user to share their screen or AAC board with a group, facilitating inclusion and interaction.
Ensuring Continuous Safety (Battery Life): For participants with memory challenges who forget to charge devices, the 21,000mAh battery offers days of power. It ensures the device is always ready for emergency calls, telehealth, or navigation, acting as a critical safety net.
Mitigating Breakage (Motor Skills): For users with tremors, ataxia, or behavioural challenges, drops are frequent. The IP68/IP69K rating ensures the device survives falls and spills that would destroy standard tablets.
Integrated DLP Projector: Projects clear, focus-adjustable images up to 100 lumens. Perfect for low vision accessibility, sensory rooms on-the-go, or sharing visual schedules.
Unmatched 21,000mAh Battery: Provides exceptional longevity (days of use). Features 66W Fast Charging and Reverse Charging, allowing the tablet to charge your phone, headphones, or other AT devices.
Military-Grade Durability: Waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof. It can be washed for hygiene and withstands the rigours of daily life in the community.
Powerful Performance (5G & 16GB RAM): Powered by the Dimensity 8200 processor, it handles demanding AAC apps, high-definition telehealth video calls, and multitasking with zero lag.
Integrated Camping Light: A bright, built-in floodlight provides visual assistance for navigating dark environments or serves as an emergency signal.
