Rugged Tablet PC - 1000AS From Aaeon

The RTC-1000AS from Aaeon is not only suitable for harsh/severe environments, but it features a 10,2" sunlight readable panel with 500 nits brightness and is slimmer in design compared to the company's previous rugged tablet PCs.

The computer is equipped with the Intel Atom N270 1,6 GHz processor and includes one 200-pin DDR II SODIMM socket (up to 2 GB). The unit offers flexible I/Os and storage such as two USB 2.0, one Mini USB, one RS232, PCMCIA, two internal Mini Card and one CompactFlash Slot for versatile expansions. The system memory is optional based on specific needs. The RTC-1000AS is sealed to IP65 specifications and is built from the ground up to withstand water, dust, vibration and drops, as well as the harsh environments it is utilised in.

This model employs 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 included.

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. For mobile application power users, it can also be upgraded to a bundled 3G module kit and/or GPS kit for more convenience. Another valuable feature of the computer is the gross weight, which is only 1,8 kg, making it suitable for several applications including use for hospital practitioners, express delivery staff, and users who simply need handheld computer operation.
