FieldWorks, Inc., to be renamed Kontron Mobile Computing on April 16, 2001, has unveiled the EnVoy Mobile Data Server (MDS) -- mobile computing technology designed specifically for installation and use in squad cars and other professional service vehicles.
With real-time data generation, capture, and transmission capabilities, the EnVoy MDS has the features that can turn a vehicle into a mobile command center. Key features of the EnVoy include:
A 500 MHz Intel Pentium III processor - FieldWorks' fastest in-vehicle processor used to date A 6GB, removable hard drive (expandable to 20GB), 128MB of DRAM (upgradeable to 256MB) with 4MB of video DRAM A daylight- and sunlight-readable, 10.4-inch, 800 x 600 SVGA, 1000 NIT display and a full-sized keyboard with nighttime key lighting. One-touch function keys and optional touch screen. Three RS-232 ports, one dual-channel USB port, and one parallel port. The EnVoy also features two open PC Card slots with Card Bus accommodating one Type III or two Type II devices. Ruggedness tested to independent specifications, with a lightweight aluminum chassis and a solid, unitized construction, protecting components from shock and vibration. Wide operating temperature and humidity ranges, with operation possible up to 60 degrees C with the EnVoy's fanless cooling system. Operating system support for Windows 98, Windows 2000, and NT 4.0.
Slated for availability in April, the EnVoy Mobile Data Server may now be ordered from FieldWorks and authorized value-added resellers.
