KE-chain is a webapplication that works properly within all modern browsers supporting JavaScript. That includes the use of modern tablets.
General guidelines for purchasing a tablet:
- A recent tablet (iOS 2017 and 2018 models or Android 7 and later) work better as it has more computing power;
- A 4G mobile internet modem is important for having a connection on the go;
- We recommend a screensize of about 10" (24,5cm) for the best experience against portability;
- We recommend to purchase an extra ruggedised and waterproof protective case;
- With respect to diskspace there is no preference as KE-chain does not require a lot of diskspace on the tablet itself. 32 GB is plenty enough.

- Purchase an iPad version including 4G / LTE built in to enable mobile internet through a dataplan. Most carrier have dataplans for tablets. An iPad with a 4G / LTE module also has a GPS module built in. The wifi-only tablet do not have a GPS by themselves and need a hotspot (through phone) to determine the location.
