WORK HARD.
WORRY LESS.

Earlier this year, we announced the End of Life plan for the Cedar CT8X2. While this date has passed, we do have limited quantities available for purchase. We will continue to provide repair services for one year, until August 31, 2025. Accessories for the CT8X2 will be available while supplies last.

Our sales team is happy to discuss other Juniper System’s Rugged Tablets and Handhelds to fill in for the CT8X2. The Mesa 3 Rugged Tablet which runs an Android OS is a reliable option for portable processing. The Mesa 4 Rugged Tablet, released earlier this year, is a great choice for Windows users. We have recently released the Archer 4 Rugged Handheld, also running Android with optional barcode and GNSS pod expansions.

Reach out with any questions and our team will help you find the new Juniper Systems solution for your work!
