AMREL introduces ROCKY MOBILE THE 1ST THREE-PIECE SOLUTION WITH A DVI INTERFACE

Arcadia, CA, April 18, 2001- AMREL Systems LLC announced today the release of its ROCKY Mobile, the FIRST three-piece modular mobile computing solution utilizing a DVI cable connection for component-to-component communication. As a pioneer in ruggedized mobile computing,  AMREL developed the ROCKY Mobile in response to a lack of mobile computing solutions with the ability to effectively address the spatial and operational issues of in-vehicle computer  applications. 

After evaluating products currently in the market, AMREL was able to determine the areas of  neglect and deliver a superior product. AMREL’s choice to incorporate the DVI cable was made after research concluded that RGB cables stretched beyond five or six feet resulted in signal distortion. Through the utilization of a DVI cable, AMREL has extended the distance that can be placed between the display and system units to 32.8 feet. Unlike other systems restricted by RGB connections, this allows ROCKY Mobile’s system unit to be installed in out of the way locations, such as a vehicle’s trunk (trunk placement requires approximately 20 feet of cable-  making trunk placement unfeASLble for RGB dependent systems). ROCKY Mobile’s distinctive  design enables the system unit to support additional DVI cables for the purpose of multiple LCD and keyboard use.

ROCKY Mobile incorporates AMREL’s Open Architecture design that allows for easy upgrading and field fast access, as well as device integration. The latter allows for the integration of the following peripherals: a LAN (Local Area Network) card, a Fax Modem, a COM 3/4 card, a  CDPD modem, 2 internal COM Ports, or a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver. 

According to an AMREL spokesperson, “the ROCKY Mobile integrates all of the features and properties that have made ‘AMREL’ and ‘ROCKY’ highly respected names throughout the rugged mobile computing community.” AMREL is enthusiastically anticipating the industry’s  reception of the ROCKY Mobile and is confident that the system will meet and surpass customer expectations.
