AMHERST, N.H. – Glacier Computer, a developer of rugged industrial PC-compatible devices, has introduced its Everest series of harsh environment computers.
Ideal for forklift and fixed-mount applications, the Everest series comes with either 10.4-in. or 12.1-in. screens, from a 600 MHz Intel Celeron processors up to a 1.4 GHz Pentium M and up to 1 GB DRAM.
The computers can operate using Windows XP Pro, Windows XP Embedded, Windows Vista and Linux.
The series computers features a custom onboard diagnostic and configuration utility, as well as programmable function buttons. The utility provides IT personnel with “flight recorder”-like data, as well as real time access to key statistics such as processor temperature, reboots, etc. The function buttons provide users with the unique ability to program frequently used tools into one-touch availability, thereby extending the life of the touchscreen.
Providing 6V to 60V isolated internal power supply, the Everest eliminates the need for external power converters or filters when mounting onto forklifts and other vehicles. Additional key features include multiple standard I/O, USB 2.0, internal 1 hour smart UPS and multiple expansion slots. The Everest offers 802.11a/b/g LAN, WAN, and GPS options.
Glacier’s Everest series of computers are HALT tested, have passed thermal and reliability testing and have an MTBF of nearly 40,000 hours. Built to U.S. Mil-Spec standards, these computers have an IP 64 environmental rating.
