Look out Kentucky, we're coming to you.
This is the new Kentucky Rugged demo vehicle, and it's about to start logging some serious miles across the Commonwealth. From sheriff's offices in the eastern hills to fire stations on the western side, we're bringing the Toughbooks straight to your station.
Want to see an FZ-G2 in person? Get hands on a CF-33? Compare the FZ-55 to whatever you're running now? We'll come to you. No travel for your team, no off-site demos. Just real hardware, real conversation, in your station's parking lot.
We're a Kentucky business, on the Kentucky State Contract through NASPO ValuePoint, and we believe the best way to earn your trust is to show up.
If you'd like us on your calendar, give us a call.

Another fleet coming together. Imaged, configured, ready to roll.
Fleet refreshes look simple from the outside, but the work happens in the prep room. Every unit gets imaged with the agency's software stack. Peplink routers configured, GPS to CAD dialed in, firmware verified, licenses activated. By the time these laptops hit a dashboard, they're ready for the shift — no IT scramble, no wasted time in the field.

Here's what makes it different when you buy local:

We do this work right here in Lawrenceburg, KY. Your units don't ship to a warehouse in another state for imaging. They come to our shop, get built the way your agency needs them, and go out the door ready. If something needs to be adjusted, we're a phone call and a short drive away.
Kentucky Prime Dealer. Kentucky State Contract through NASPO ValuePoint. Kentucky team doing the work.

If your agency is planning a refresh or sizing up how to outfit your next fleet, give us a call. The sooner we're in the conversation, the smoother the rollout.

Whether you're outfitting one new rig or a whole fleet, the work is the same. Rugged hardware, Kentucky team, done right the first time.
If your service has new units coming in, get us in the conversation early. The sooner we're involved, the cleaner the install.

This is what we do. Rugged hardware, professional installation, Kentucky agencies taken care of by a Kentucky team. Based right here in Lawrenceburg, on the Kentucky State Contract through NASPO ValuePoint.
If your department is planning an upgrade or outfitting a new truck, give us a call. We'll come out, look at your setup, and do it right.

Meet the Panasonic Toughbook 56. Engineered for the extreme, built for the shift ahead.
When the job pushes your equipment to its limits, small upgrades aren't enough. The Toughbook 56 combines next-generation performance, extended battery life, and proven Panasonic durability in one fully modular platform.
What that means in the field:

Up to 24 hours of runtime with dual hot-swappable batteries
14" high-brightness display readable in direct sunlight
Wi-Fi 7, optional 5G, and faster wired connectivity
Built-in AI acceleration for real-time performance
MIL-STD-810H and IP-rated durability
Modular design that adapts to your workflow

For agencies already running Toughbook 54s or 55s, most standard configurations are backwards compatible with your existing vehicle docks. Refresh without re-outfitting every vehicle.
Available starting in May. As your Panasonic Prime Dealer on the Kentucky State Contract, we'll have pricing and availability the moment it drops. Give us a call to get on the list.

Your ambulance is your office, your ER, and your lifeline — all in one.
EMS and fire crews don't get to pick their working conditions. Pouring rain, 100° heat, the back of a moving rig at 2 AM — your technology has to keep up no matter what.
That's exactly what Panasonic Toughbooks are built for. MIL-STD tested, water and dust resistant, readable in direct sunlight, and designed to survive the drops and vibrations that come with life on the rig.
Kentucky EMS and fire agencies can purchase directly through the Kentucky State Contract — no bid process, no hassle. Just reliable equipment when your crews need it.

⚠️ Toughbook prices are going up April 1st — that's just a few days away.
Panasonic has announced price increases across key Toughbook models due to rising component costs. If you wait until after March 31st, you could be paying significantly more for the exact same devices.
On top of that, orders are already ramping up ahead of the deadline — which means longer lead times are coming too.
If your agency has been planning a refresh or new deployment, now is the time to move. Lock in current pricing before it's gone.
Kentucky agencies — you can order directly through the Kentucky State Contract, no lengthy bid process required. Fast, simple, and already competitively priced.

Your patrol car's laptop just died in the middle of a traffic stop.

It's raining. The screen won't respond. And now you're running plates from memory.

This is why consumer-grade laptops don't belong in emergency vehicles. They aren't built for temperature swings, vibration, dust, or moisture — the exact conditions first responders face every single shift.

Panasonic Toughbooks are MIL-STD-810H tested. That means they're certified to handle drops, extreme temps, and the kind of abuse that would destroy a standard laptop in weeks.

We've seen agencies go through 3 consumer laptops in the time one Toughbook stays in service. That's not just a reliability issue — it's a budget issue.

If your team is fighting their equipment instead of focusing on the mission, let's fix that.
