PANASONIC CONNECT CERTIFIES TOUGHBOOK DEVICES WITH RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX FOR ENHANCED FLEXIBILITY AND SECURITY
New certification accelerates innovation at the edge for mission-critical workers.
Wiesbaden, DE. 5th November 2024
Mobile Solutions Business Division (TOUGHBOOK) of Panasonic Connect Europe today announced a collaboration with Red Hat, the world’s leading provider of enterprise open-source software solutions, to certify TOUGHBOOK devices on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The certification brings flexibility to customers requiring secure Linux-based solutions, making it an ideal solution for government agencies, contractors, and system integrators.
Many governmental sectors require mobile devices that safeguard sensitive data and comply with strict security standards. With the introduction of Red Hat Enterprise Linux-certified TOUGHBOOK devices, customers now have more choice when it comes to a secure device environment. This allows agencies to customise their mobile solutions to meet specific security needs while benefiting from the rugged durability and reliability of TOUGHBOOK devices.
"Collaborating with Red Hat to certify our TOUGHBOOK devices with Red Hat Enterprise Linux underscores our commitment to delivering advanced, secure, and adaptable technology solutions for our world’s most important industries. This collaboration demonstrates that our devices meet the highest standards for reliability and performance, offering our customers the agility and support they need for mission-critical applications."
Head of TOUGHBOOK EU

By taking on the certification process internally, Panasonic Connect minimises the need for busy IT teams to invest additional time and resources in certification and testing on their own. In an industry where speed and efficiency are critical, this approach allows agencies to quickly establish, deploy, and maintain their edge computing solutions.
"Adding TOUGHBOOK to our lineup of certified hardware enables government customers to seamlessly align their technology with both operational needs and compliance demands. By placing the unique demands of customers at the forefront, we’re supporting critical workers in fuelling innovation, enhancing efficiency, and supporting the success of highly important missions."
