Mar 13, 2010 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Xplore Technologies, a developer of rugged mobile computers, announced the launch of a new unit specifically designed for use in clean rooms.
Clean rooms are environments that are specifically designed to avoid any sort of contamination and prevent any foreign particles from entering the manufacturing process. Such environments are familiar to consumers in their use in the chip manufacturing process, and are common also in the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries.
"The Clean Room iX104C4 Tablet PC represents a significant opportunity for Xplore and is an application of technology that we believe will deliver significant value to clean room users," said Mark Holleran, President and COO of Xplore Technologies.
The Clean Room iX104C4 design implements indoor/outdoor AllVue Xtreme display technology, a user interface with Dual Mode functionality, redesigned antennae, integrated wireless modules, Windows 7 compliance and improved overall performance.
The iX104C4's key features include:
-Specially designed chassis and sealing to prevent manufacturing contamination
-Fully Rugged design while light enough to carry or keep mounting arms or carts in balance
-1.2 GHz Intel Core Duo processor to facilitate real time applications
-802.11AGN Wi-Fi for wireless connectivity to host systems
-Compatibility to Xplore peripherals such as docking stations and mounting equipment
