Getac brings AI-enabled field operations solutions to DTECH 2026

Getac will be at DTECH 2026 from Feb. 3-5 in San Diego, California. You can find the team at booth UL511 in the Sails Pavilion with fully rugged laptops and tablets, integrated software, and partner solutions built for utility field work.

For operations leaders, this means fewer service interruptions, tighter security, better fleet connectivity, and a lower total cost of ownership across crews and assets.

What's at booth UL511

Getac will feature next-generation fully rugged, AI-enabled devices paired with software that supports asset monitoring, predictive analysis, and workforce optimization. The focus is practical: keep crews connected, reduce downtime, and extend equipment life in tough environments.

  • Semtech: AirLink rugged networking integrated with Getac devices for unified cellular connectivity that boosts coverage, modernizes utility fleets, and improves field efficiency.
  • RAM Mounts: Durable mounting systems that secure phones, tablets, and laptops across work vans and consumer vehicles, giving technicians fast, safe access to mission-critical tools.
  • Absolute Software: Persistent security and compliance with continuous visibility into standards like NERC CIP, plus stable network connections for dispersed teams.
  • SEW.AI: An AI-native workforce platform that turns operational data into real-time, role-based intelligence for safer field execution, proactive asset and work management, and tighter coordination across electric, gas, and water utilities.

Getac devices will also appear in integrated demos at partner booths, including Anterix, Havis, and Gamber-Johnson.

Why it matters for operations

  • Reduce unplanned downtime with predictive insights and better asset visibility.
  • Maintain connectivity in remote or harsh conditions with unified cellular networking.
  • Strengthen security and compliance frameworks with device persistence and continuous monitoring.
  • Lower total cost of ownership through fewer repairs, extended device lifecycles, and streamlined workflows.
  • Improve crew safety and productivity with reliable mounts and real-time field intelligence.
