The Radix FW960 handheld computer platform has been added to the ultra rugged mobile computing product range from Elecsys, a developer of M2M data acquisition, telemetry, analysis systems and custom electronic assemblies for critical industries.
The FW960 runs the Microsoft Windows Embedded CE 6.0 real-time operating system designed for mobile devices. This handheld computer contains an XScale processor that operates at 520MHz, 128Mbyte of ram and 2Gbyte of flash memory, and incorporates efficient power management for extended battery life.
Like all Radix handheld computers, it is designed to withstand the extreme environmental conditions found in demanding applications and exceeds the industry’s highest specifications for shock, vibration and environmental ruggedness. The machine operates throughout a wide temperature range, is completely waterproof and submersible, and is resistant to dust, oil and solvents.
In addition to this model, Elecsys has released a peripheral device for its handheld computers, the FWM-90 multifunction colour imager and scanner. The FWM-90 combines a 1.3Mpixel colour camera and video capture device with an integrated 1D and 2D barcode scanner in a single rugged package.
“Radix products are used in the field all over the world in maintenance, inspection, meter reading, law enforcement, transportation, logistics and other applications in extreme environments,” said Karl Gemperli, president and chief executive officer.
“The performance and capabilities of the new Radix FW960, combined with the modular design of our handheld computers and the broad selection of options and rugged peripherals, make it an ideal choice for custom solution development for rugged field data acquisition and management applications.”
