An increasing diversity of applications is calling for modular, expandable computer platforms to accommodate PC architecture plug-in data acquisition cards and custom electronics in a portable and field deployable manner. Even the toughest of laptops cannot offer the expandability of additional plug in cards, let alone custom electronics.
Captec’s latest Rugged Mobile Computing (RMC) platforms have been designed specifically with this in mind. This powerful, yet mobile system comes ruggedised for hostile environments and integrates expansion capabilities.
Key Benefits:
- Expansion Capability on a Mobile Platform
- Available in Multi-Size Formats
- Engineered Protection for Field Use
- Computer Performance to fit All Sizes
