Next-generation device continues the legacy of the long-running xTablet T8650 with enhanced Windows 11 Pro, performance, durability, and mobility 

Cedar Rapids, IA – October 2, 2025 – MobileDemand, a leader in rugged computing solutions, proudly announces the release of the xTablet T8655, the powerful successor to the renowned xTablet T8650. First launched in 2016, the T8650 enjoyed a successful nine-year run across industries worldwide. The new T8655 takes the reins, delivering substantial performance improvements and advanced features while reinforcing MobileDemand’s commitment to long-term service and support - giving enterprises confidence in a platform built to last. 

Windows 11 Pro Built-In 
The xTablet T8655 comes standard with Windows 11 Pro, giving teams the power and flexibility of a full PC in a rugged, mobile form factor: 

• Business-class security and encryption. 
• Compatibility with existing Windows applications and devices. 
• Remote management for IT efficiency. 
• Optimized performance for today’s mobile workflows. 

Compact 8-Inch Form Factor, Maximum Productivity
The T8655 features a vivid 8-inch touchscreen - bright, ultra-responsive, and designed for outdoor visibility and gloved-hand use. Its smaller footprint and lighter weight makes it ideal for mobile carrying and customer-facing environments where space is tight, such as: 

• Customer-facing outdoor service (e.g., car washes and service kiosks, where the optional MagTek® MSR is conveniently top-mounted).
• Forklift drivers who need unobstructed visibility while maintaining access to digital workflows.
• Warehouse picking, inventory management, and logistics tracking.
• Field data collection and inspections. 

The balance of portability and usability ensures frontline workers can run critical applications, dashboards, and documentation on the move. 

Significant Performance Boost 
Compared to its predecessor, the T8655 delivers: 

• 3x faster overall performance.
• 10x faster disk drive performance for quicker data handling.
• Optimized speed for real-time mobile workflows. 

Built for the Toughest Jobs 
The T8655 is engineered for environments where consumer tablets can’t keep up:

• Rugged durability: Drop-tested to MIL-STD-810G standards, resistant to shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures. 
• Next-generation barcode scanning: Featuring the Honeywell N6803 2D imager with HD optics and laser targeting for rapid, reliable barcode capture—even on damaged or poorly printed labels. 
• Extended productivity: Optional XL battery provides up to 15 hours of runtime. 

Smarter Connectivity and Security
The T8655 integrates modern connectivity and data security capabilities to keep operations moving smoothly:

• Optional LTE for real-time field connectivity.
• NFC module for secure, credential-based authentication. 
• MagTek® MSR (coming soon) for secure payment processing. 

Mount, Move, and Work Anywhere
With powered and non-powered docking solutions, the T8655 adapts seamlessly to diverse workflows:

• Forklift, cart, and vehicle mounts in warehouses and distribution centers.
• Mobile stations in manufacturing or field service operations. 
• Fixed or semi-fixed setups for kiosks, counters, or customer-facing environments. 
• Easy-carry briefcase handle and back hand strap provide a secure, comfortable grip for on-the-go use, with an optional shoulder strap for added convenience. 

“The xTablet T8655 builds on the proven foundation of the T8650 while introducing next-generation performance and data
capture,” said Matt Miller, President and CTO of MobileDemand. “We know enterprises rely on us for long-term rugged tablet platforms, and the T8655 demonstrates our commitment to keeping frontline workers equipped with the tools they need to succeed in the most demanding environments.”
