RT3 Pro Compact Rugged Tablet (20cm) | NDIS Portable Safety Aid

Experience freedom and reliability with the RT3 Pro. This compact 20.3 cm (8-inch) rugged tablet is a specialized piece of low cost assistive technology designed for portability. Weighing just 538g, it is light enough to carry everywhere yet tough enough to withstand drops, water, and dust. It is the perfect solution for NDIS participants needing a durable device for communication (AAC), navigation, and community access.

How This Compact Device Supports NDIS Participants

Standard tablets can be heavy, cumbersome, and fragile. The RT3 Pro addresses these specific barriers:

• Ideal for Portable Communication (AAC): The 8-inch size is the "goldilocks" zone for AAC—large enough to see symbols clearly, but small enough to mount on a wheelchair or carry in a bag without bulk. Its lightweight design supports users with reduced grip strength or fatigue.

• Mitigating Breakage Risks (Motor/Behavioural): For participants with tremors, dyspraxia, or behavioural challenges, dropping a device is a common risk. The IP68/IP69K certified rugged build prevents screen breakage and water damage, ensuring consistent access to therapy tools without costly repairs.

• Supporting Community Access & Safety: With 4G LTE connectivity and precise GPS navigation (GPS/GLONASS/Galileo), this tablet supports independent travel. It allows participants to use maps, ride-share apps, or contact support workers while out in the community.

• Hygiene & Health: The waterproof design allows the tablet to be washed and sanitized easily. This is crucial for messy environments (e.g., mealtime communication) or for participants with compromised immune systems.

Key Features & Benefits

• Compact & Lightweight (538g): Designed for one-handed use or easy mounting. It reduces physical strain compared to full-sized rugged tablets.

• Military-Grade Durability: Waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof. It survives falls, spills, and outdoor elements, making it a reliable companion for daily life.

• Smooth Performance (Android 14): Powered by an Octa-Core processor and Android 14, it runs essential assistive apps, visual schedules, and telehealth platforms smoothly.

• Expandable Storage: Comes with 128GB of internal storage, expandable to 1TB via TF card—plenty of room for offline therapy videos, communication boards, and photos.

• Reverse Charging: The 5150mAh battery can act as a power bank to charge other small assistive devices (like headphones) via OTG cable while on the go.
