The RTC-1020 boasts a 10.1″ full HD (1920 x 1200) TFT LCD display with projected capacitive multi-touch screen and a brightness of up to 800 nits. AAEON mentions that the “RTC-1020’s 5MP front camera is a substantial upgrade on the RTC-1010’s 2MP standard, while still accompanied by an 8MP rear camera. This increase in quality allows for UHD image collection for applications such as field inspection.”

Furthermore, the tablet supports optional accessories like a 2D barcode scanner (OPTICON MDI-4100-USB) and HF RFID capabilities (ISO 15693, ISO 18092, ISO 14443-A, and ISO 14443-B), expanding its usability in diverse applications.

The company also mentions that “another key benefit to the RTC-1020 is that it provides continuous operation via two hot-swappable 51.1W lithium-ion batteries, which eliminates the need to power the device down during replacement. The battery capacity is also 50% greater than the previous RTC rugged tablet model, meaning users can take advantage of longer working hours before needing to swap battery packs.”
