Rugged Computers: Glacier Computer Introduces Magnum Series Of Rugged Computers For The Utility Industry

Glacier Computer, one of the leading designer, developer, and supplier of rugged industrial PC-compatible devices, introduced its Magnum series of computers. Specifically designed for use in utility vehicles, the Magnum can be mounted into over-the-road vehicles including cars, pickups, and bucket trucks. Additionally, this unit provides sunlight readable PC functionality in a rugged enclosure.

The Magnum is an Intel-based PC traditionally configured with either XP Pro or XP Embedded. An array of standard I/O allows for attaching numerous peripherals, including portable printers for producing work orders and receipts right from the vehicle. Wide area network cards and GPS accessories provide easy data transfer from the worksite and constant vehicle mapping and location data.

Unlike traditional laptop solutions, the Glacier Magnum is a sealed unit with no fans or vents. The unit can operate in the most intense environments, including extremes of temperature, shock, vibration and moisture. Each unit has a touchscreen and high-bright display for ease of use with even a gloved hand. All units accept and easily run traditional Windows software applications. There are a variety of processor, DRAM, and both rotating and solid-state hard drive options.

Glacier's Magnum series of computers are HALT tested, have passed thermal and reliability testing and have an MTBF of nearly 40,000 hours. Built to Mil-Spec standards, these computers have an IP 64 environmental rating.

"The Magnum series of computers provide an outstanding solution for utility applications," states John Geary, Vice President of Sales, Glacier Computer. "These computers have been engineered and built to provide superior performance and convenience in the most extreme conditions imaginable."
