STEVENS POINT, Wis., Gamber-Johnson, a leading manufacturer of computer docking stations, today unveiled a new docking station designed to mount a Getac S410 notebook in a fleet vehicle. The new dock is thin and light (4.47 lbs/2.03 kg) and features a spring-loaded connector to ensure connectivity even in the roughest terrain.
“Most semi-rugged computers are hefty and thick, but the Getac S410 notebook is a very thin computer for the semi-rugged environment. We created a docking station that is thin and light to compliment the aesthetics of the notebook,” said Brenda Mischnick, product manager at Gamber-Johnson. “It’s an aluminum and composite dock that will hold up in just about any rugged environment. It has all the port replicators a consumer will need, is designed to be used one-handed, and takes up hardly any additional space in a vehicle. It’s the ultimate docking station for Getac S410 users.”
The S410 docking station passed Gamber-Johnson’s grueling quality testing requirements including vibration and shock at MIL-STD 810G 514.5, SAE standard J1455 crash test, and the docking mechanism at 30,000 cycles. The dock also features certifications for RoHS, FCC, C-Tick, and E-Mark.
The docking stations will be available for purchase June 2016 at all Gamber-Johnson resellers. To see a full list of features or to get a quote, please visit gamberjohnson.com/S410.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Edmunds.com, the leading car information and shopping network, forecasts that 1,537,436
new cars and trucks will be sold in the U.S. in May for an estimated Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate (SAAR) of 17.5 million. The projected sales will be a 2.3 percent increase from
April 2016, but a 5.8 percent decrease from
May 2015. While sales appear to be slowing, Edmunds says that 2016 is still on track to break last year’s record of 17.47 million new car sales.
“It’s easy to look at May’s sales and conclude that the retail car market is losing steam, but it’s too soon to say for sure that auto sales are leveling off,” says Edmunds.com Director of Industry Analysis Jessica Caldwell. “As in previous years, the summer months will flush out more incentives from automakers and the urgency that shoppers show in responding to these incentives will give the industry a much better sense of how the market is trending.”
