AMREL's ROCKY line of military grade rugged computers are built tough in and out. It features several key elements that will ensure you maximum longevity and minimal failure on our products regardless of your environment. Key features that govern the safety and reliability of our rugged computers are:
Certified to MIL-STD 810F
Housed in a virtually indestructible magnesium casing, the ROCKY rugged notebooks, rugged tablets, and rugged PDAs, is MIL-STD 810F certified. AMREL's MIL-STD 810F certification ensures units are operable in and protected against extreme temperatures, rain, vibration, shock, salt fog, high and low altitudes, explosive atmospheres, and solar radiation.
While some competitors claim compliance on their products, AMREL took the extra step to certify its rugged computers from these extreme environmental conditions. The units are sent to an independent, unbiased lab for thorough testing. Through the test of time, the ROCKY rugged computers have passed MIL-STD 810F's rigorous criteria with flying colors.
To learn more about our specific test methods, please see our military standards.
Certified to MIL-STD 461 on Rugged Computers
All military grade rugged notebooks, rugged tablets, and rugged PDAs have passed the MIL-STD 461E test for electromagnetic interference shielding by an independent testing lab. Our units are guaranteed to block any interference from radio frequencies, magnetic fields, and other disruptive interference. For more information about electromagnetic interference shielding please read the MIL STD461E White Paper
IP54 & IP-65 Certification on Rugged Computers
In addition to MIL-STD 810F and MIL-STD 461 certification, the ROCKY rugged computers are also IP54 certified, ensuring the units are resistant to dust and water by industrial standards. In addition, our military rugged PDA is the only unit with IP-65 certification due to high demand.
Our ROCKY rugged computers exhibit an unwavering level of durability and reliability. Units are employed with sealed port and connector covers to further enhance the ruggedness of these computers. Additionally, a fully sealed dust and water resistant keyboard contributes to the long-lasting toughness of AMREL's rugged computers.
Fault Tolerant Isolation Design on Rugged Computers
Unique to the ROCKY rugged notebooks and rugged in-vehicle models, AMREL's "fault tolerant isolation" design is an innovative and effective way to protect our rugged computers from moisture, dust and other environmental pollutants infiltrating to the motherboard.
The design functionality is analogous to a submarine with each chamber individually sealed in the body of the ROCKY. The rugged notebooks have protective chambers that separate the following compartments:
- Motherboard
- I/O ports
- Removable hard drive
- Swappable "smart bay" modules
This encapsulation process provides extra protection against water, dust, and other potentially damaging materials.
Best of all, should any chamber be damaged due to exposure during operation, it will not damage the whole system, thus saving customers extra cost from replacing the entire unit.
Shock Absorbent Membranes to Withstand Tough Jolts
ROCKY's hard disk drives are insulated by shock absorbent membranes mounted on the top and bottom of the HDD to protect it from those bumps and jolts which are so common with field use. In addition, flexible connectors between the hard disk drive and the system board protect against connector breakage and prevent shock transfers from one component to the other. For further protection, the ROCKY's padded corners to provide even more protection when exposed to external trauma.
