Toughpad and Pete Graves – a perfect sports broadcasting partnership

Pete Graves is a well-known face in the sporting world. As a television presenter for British Sky Broadcasting, he brings the UK breaking sports news around the clock and anchors some of the biggest sporting events from around the globe to an audience of millions.

He uses the Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1 to ensure he can access up-to-the-minute statistics and analysis, whilst also keeping across his scripts during live broadcasts. Thanks to its rugged build, the FZ-G1 can cope with even the harshest conditions; making it equally at home in the warmth of the TV studios or when exposed to the elements at the side of the field.

In this video, Pete talks about how important the Toughpad FZ-G1 is to his “office” life.

“The FZ-G1 is ideal for me because for the most part, my office is either at sports arena like here or in a film studio – both environments are busy and fast-paced and I need a tablet that can handle the rough and tumble of my working day.”

“The FZ-G1 is fantastic. It’s thin, so it’s lightweight but most importantly it’s fully rugged.”

“I don’t have to worry about using it outside as if it is raining, it’s water resistant.”

“On the rare occasions when we do get a sunny day the screen is HD daylight readable as well so I don’t need to worry about any glare or reflection on the display.”

“I use the FZ-G1 to do all my pre-match preparation including watching replays of previous games and building up a statistics package to ensure I’ve got all the latest facts and figures.

“In a fast-moving sport event it’s essential for me as the presenter to have all the facts at my fingertips so I can add colour and context throughout the game.”
