Ruggedised PDA

The newly released Opentec International RPDA (Ruggedised Personal Data Assistant) supports MS Windows CE.NET 4.2 and MS Pocket PC 2003. It features the industry's largest sunlight-readable TFT LCD touchscreen (102mm, 480x640 pixel), as well as a built-in microphone and mono speaker.

The RPDA is a truly ruggedised device, not just a "toughened" commercial-grade product. The magnesium chassis and ruggedised architecture ensures it complies with MIL-STD-810F (for Altitude, High/Low Temperature, Humidity, Salt Fog, Vibration, & Shock compliance) and IP67 requirements for dust-proofing and water immersion up to 1 metre.

And with a range of device ports, including a PCMCIA Type II slot, it can support everything from GPRS or CDMA comms modules, to specialty devices such as smartcard readers. One such solution is the miPalm Mobile ID Card Reader from Australian company Blue Glue, which is supports Access Control & OH&S applications, including:

• 24/7 real-time data/transaction capture
• Sensor and telemetry recording
• Biometric & Physical access control
• Asset location, tracking & reporting
• Personnel tracking
• Evacuation Mode
• First Aid Mode
• HRM & Training Mode
• Licences & Insurances Mode
• Manual Control Mode
• Procedures Mode
• Reports Mode
• Site Audit Mode
