Computer to Withstand Harsh Environments

Glacier Computer announces GX-1000 rugged computer for mining, coal industry

Glacier Computer, a leading designer, developer, and supplier of rugged industrial PC-compatible devices, announces its GX-1000 series computer for the mining and coal industry.

Ideal for harsh environments, the GX-1000 can be attached to a forklift or function on a fixed-mount location.

The GX-1000 can operate using Windows CE, 2000 or XP systems.

Windows CE runs with minimal DRAM and fits on a 32 MB solid-state drive.

Additionally, customers have the option to upgrade the Windows CE based GX-1000 to Windows XP at any time by changing the hard drive.

The GX-1000 has a 10.4-inch color display, rugged touchscreen, 800 MHz Via processor, wireless options and multiple I/O.

The GX-1000 is housed in a very compact enclosure and is ideal for applications such as forklifts and fixed-mount warehousing, distribution and factory floor settings.

Because of its small size, the GX-1000 allows forklift operators far greater line-of-sight than competing standard-sized touchscreens.

The GX-1000 10" unit is the latest addition to Glacier's current GX product line, which includes the 12" and 15" versions.

Glacier also offers a rugged tablet and laptop for portable challenges.

"It is important that we meet our customer needs and demands," states John Geary, vice president of Glacier Computer.

"This is why we offer a low cost, thin alternative to users who do not require all the functionality of Windows 2000 or XP.".
