The Getac V110 is a modern, well executed rugged notebook which can be converted to tablet format.  Like almost all commercial rugged computers, the V110 is pretty robust and well sealed – until you want to connect it to something.  In the commercial world wireless and battery power may be acceptable, but military applications often require radio silence, and extended operation.

Mil Spec Connectors

Replacing one or more of the commercial connectors with a small format Mil-Spec connector can solve this issue.

Side milbox

Small and light, the side V110 MILBOX is a CNC machined housing that installs on the side of the notebook in place of the USB3 port and audio ports. The side MILBOX allows the user to interface to Power and USB or Ethernet signals via a single rugged MILSPEC connector.  Other connectivity is possible – USB3 can be converted into many useful protocols / interfaces.  The challenge is to find space inside the V110 to perform the conversion.

Standard connections

As standard this modification includes power (DC in) and USB or Ethernet.
