May 21, 2010 -- Aaeon, a premier Industrial PC manufacturer, has released a new powerful Rugged Tablet Computer (RTC) --RTC-1000AS.  The RTC-1000AS is not only ideal in harsh/severe environments, but it features a 10.2” sunlight readable panel with 500 nits brightness and is slimmer in design compared to our previous Rugged Tablet PCs.

The RTC-1000AS is equipped with the Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz processor and includes one 200-pin DDR II SODIMM socket (up to 2GB).  The unit offers flexible I/Os and storage such as two USB 2.0, one Mini USB, one RS-232, PCMCIA, two internal Mini Card, and one CompactFlash Slot for versatile expansions.  The system memory is optional based on your needs.

 

The RTC-1000AS is sealed to IP-65 specifications.  It is built from the ground up to withstand water, dust, vibration and drops, as well as the harsh environments it is utilized in. This model deploys a 10.2” WSVGA (1024 x 600) 16:9 TFT LCD display with LED backlight that can be viewed in wide angles and are sunlight readable with a patented AOT (Advanced Optibond Technology) touch screen. This advanced technology is for display impact protection that is often required by rugged applications.  In addition, numeric keypad and programmable function keys on the front panel are all user friendly features of the RTC-1000AS.

 

The optional docking station and vehicle chargers can keep the system up and running for multiple operating shifts.  For network communication, the RTC-1000AS uses one 10/100/1000Base-TX Ethernet and a Wireless LAN IEEE 802.11 b/g plus Bluetooth 2.0 Class 1 module to provide faster and convenient connections. For mobile application power users, it could also be upgraded to a bundled 3G module kit and/or GPS kit for more convenience. Another valuable feature of the RTC-1000AS is the gross weight, which is only 3.9lb (about 1.8 Kg).  All our RTC units can be utilized for several applications including use for hospital practitioners, express delivery staff, and users who simply need hand held computer operation.

 

The RTC-1000AS offers high performance with low power consumption that is perfect for areas in the Emergency Medical Service, Public Safety, Transportation, Marine, and Aviation to name a few.
