JLT pumps up tablet PC performance with Intel Atomic Power and Windows 7


JLT Mobile Computers AB, manufacturers and developers of rugged computer solutions for tough environments, have started shipments of a brand new version of their JLT8404 rugged tablet PC. Designed and built in Sweden, this upgrade includes a number of technological innovations, including a new ultra-low voltage Intel Atom processor. This energy-efficient chip runs at 1.6GHz, bringing much higher performance and enhanced 3D graphic capabilities for JLT8404 users. The same chip powers JLT’s in-vehicle PCs also. The unit is currently available for immediate delivery in standard configuration.
 


The new version of the standard setting rugged mobile computer also features 2GB of RAM, enough to run demanding applications comfortably without worrying about running out of memory. The device is available with a choice of Microsoft operating systems – Windows 7 or Windows XP.



In response to demand, JLT have equipped the JLT8404 with a high-performance Sierra Wireless wide area network (WAN) module. This built-in high-speed wireless technology is easy to use and provides simple connectivity to wireless networks. The wireless WAN is a good match for the tablet PC as it exceeds industry specifications for tolerance of extreme temperatures, drops, shocks and vibration.
 

 

The military standard (MIL STD 810F) JLT8404 is specifically designed to withstand harsh environments equally well in the field and in vehicles. It retains its other features, including a sturdy IP65 aircraft grade aluminium chassis, sunlight-viewable 8.4in colour SunView touch screen, Bluetooth and 3G/GPRS connectivity, and improved, highly accurate GPS performance for field mapping and in-cab use. The tablet PC is a fully integrated unit, with no moving or external parts, and is water and dust ingress proof, withstands drop tests to 1.2m and extreme temperatures ranging from -20 degrees C to +50 degrees C.
