Reportedly designed to "meet the demanding needs of mobile workers in a variety of commercial, field service, public safety, and military (battlefield management, logistics and vehicle maintenance)," GD-Itronix has been true to its aim to target a variety of specialized markets.

With a striking industrial design, the VR-2 looks purposeful, tough, and high-tech in terms of performance both in processing power and wireless functionality.
