AAEON Releases 10.2 Rugged Tablet Computers--RTC-1000A/RTC-1000D

AAEON, a premier Industrial PC manufacturer, has released a new Rugged Tablet Computer (RTC) series—RTC-1000. This series features a 10.2” sunlight readable panel with 450 nits brightness. The Rugged Tablet Computers were designed to deal with applications in harsh/severe environments.

The RTC-1000 series has two models (RTC-1000A and RTC-1000D). The only difference between these two models is the processor. The RTC-1000A features the Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor and the RTC-1000D features Intel Core Duo U2500 1.2GHHHHz/ Celeron M 423 1.0GHz ULV processors. Both models are equipped with one 200-pin DDR II SODIMM socket (up to 2GB) and the system memory is optional based on your needs. In addition, the RTC-1000A/RTC-1000D offers flexible I/O and storages 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 RTC-1000A/RTC-1000D is sealed to IP-65 specification. 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 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,” -- Howard Hu, Product Manager of R & D Center, AAEON. “In addition, built-in handwriting recognition and numeric keypad and programmable function keys on the front panel are all user friendly features of the RTC-1000A/RTC-1000D. Another unique design is the Finger Print Reader, which is ideal for personal security”, Howard added.

Smart 9 cells Lithium-Ion high capacity battery life can provide 5~7 hours working time that can meet the demands of daily work. The optional docking station and vehicle chargers can keep the system up and running for multiple operating shifts. For network communication, the RTC-1000A/RTC-1000D 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.
