BATTLE CREEK, Mich. — September 23, 2026 — 3Eye Technologies, a value-added IT distributor focused on endpoint solutions for the modern deskless workforce, today announced a new partnership with X-naut, a California-based manufacturer of actively cooled and ruggedized iPad systems built for demanding field environments.

Through the partnership, 3Eye will bring X-naut solutions to its reseller community, creating new opportunities for partners supporting organizations where heat, continuous use, vibration and demanding conditions can put mobile technology to the test.

For teams in fire and EMS, law enforcement, utilities, aviation, government fleets and other field-based environments, an iPad can serve as far more than a standard mobile device. It can become a critical tool for accessing information, navigating, communicating and completing workflows in real time. But when those devices are exposed to direct sunlight, hot vehicle interiors and extended use, overheating can quickly become an operational challenge.

That is the problem X-naut was built to solve.

Founded after its creator experienced iPad overheating in the cockpit, X-naut has developed a portfolio designed to keep iPads operational in environments where device failure is not an option. Its lineup includes actively cooled and ruggedized X90 systems, ruggedized X30 solutions and the MagPower magnetic docking platform, giving organizations options for cooling, protection, mounting and continuous power across a range of deployments.

“Partnering with 3Eye gives X-naut an opportunity to expand our reach through a reseller community that understands the unique challenges of deploying mobile technology in demanding, real-world environments,” said Kevin Kuhlman, VP of Business Development at X-naut. “From public safety and fleet operations to utilities, aviation and field service, organizations are relying on iPads for increasingly critical workflows, and those devices need to perform regardless of the conditions around them. 3Eye’s mobility expertise, strong channel relationships and focus on the deskless workforce make them a natural partner for X-naut. Together, we’re excited to help resellers bring purpose-built solutions to more customers and keep the technology their teams depend on cool, powered, protected and operational in the field.”

X-naut’s MagPower platform further extends that approach by combining magnetic docking with continuous wired power and compatibility across X-naut’s case portfolio. The system is designed to make it easier for workers to dock and remove devices while keeping iPads securely mounted and powered throughout a shift.

For 3Eye partners, the addition of X-naut opens opportunities across public safety, field service, utilities, transportation, aviation and other verticals where mobile devices regularly move beyond climate-controlled offices and into vehicles, outdoor environments and demanding workflows.

Together, 3Eye and X-naut will work to help resellers identify those opportunities, configure the right solutions and bring deployment-ready iPad ecosystems to customers across North America.
