AMREL Unveils
the ROCKY Unlimited -- the Next Ruggedized Mobile Computing Superpower
ARCADIA,
Calif. (BUSINESS WIRE) - May 10, 2001 - AMREL Systems LLC has proven
once again that its line of ROCKY ruggedized mobile computing
systems is a species destined for evolutionary domination.
Many
commercial computer manufacturers, in their haste to design and market
rugged mobile computers, are unable to deliver fully ruggedized units.
A seasoned manufacturer of rugged mobile computing systems, AMREL
once again exercises its hold on ruggedized mobile computing technology
through today's release of the ROCKY Unlimited.
Said
to be "the ultimate combination of raw high-performance computing
power and the latest in mobile computer environmental defense technology,"
the Unlimited is fully upgradeable with the ability to grow as technology
and needs change. The ROCKY Unlimited showcases an array of impressive
new features, including an Intel Pentium III 700Mhz processor,
a Mini PCI slot, as well as enhanced expansion capabilities. The
new ROCKY Unlimited has been engineered to support a coexisting LAN
card/Fax Modem, CDPD, and COM 3/4 card -- which is unique today to the
industry.
As
the next generation of AMREL's "ROCKY" ruggedized notebook
computer series, the Unlimited will carry on the legacy of unparalleled
durability and performance. To fulfill its ruggedized and specialized
heritage, the ROCKY Unlimited incorporates many of the features that
have played key roles in propelling its predecessors' success, such
as AMREL's "Open Architecture" design, which allows
for system upgrades, device integration, and field servicing.
Unlike
other ruggedized mobile computers that either compromise performance
or shed features to achieve a more commercialized appearance, the ROCKY
Unlimited is a full-featured system < offering unlimited operation
possibilities.
The
Unlimited lists among its standard features an 89-key backlit keyboard,
two type II or one type III PCMCIA slots, a Mini PCI slot, a removable
HDD, a built-in 16-bit sound card with stereo speakers, and a component
exchange port that operates any of the following interchangeable
components: CD-ROM, DVD, FDD, 120MB Super Disk Drive, or Secondary Battery.
Optional
features include vehicle and office docking solutions, an array of wireless
communication options, and AMREL's Alpha-Star™ Sunlight Readable
Touchscreen. AMREL takes pride in this new addition to the ROCKY
line and is confident that the Unlimited will bolster AMREL's grip on
the ruggedized mobile computing market.
