NEXCOM Vehicle Computer Receives EN50155 and PTCRB Certifications for Mobile Applications

Online, October 21, 2010 (Newswire.com) - NEXCOM, an embedded solution provider, announced that the new Vehicle Computer, VTC6110, has earned crucial EN50155 and PTCRB wireless communication certifications which allows railway equipment developers and system integrators to build proprietary mobile applications with this robust PC-based embedded communication platform.

The intelligent, telematics vehicle computer, VTC6110, offers front-end data acquisition and monitoring for vehicle tracking, monitoring, fleet management and railroad system onboard control. Featuring powerful Intel® mobile Core™ Duo processor, wide operation temperature, anti-vibration and anti-shock design, the VTC 6110 enables the consistent, steady and reliable operation for transportation and mobile applications.

Equipped with GPS/ GSM/ WCDMA/ GPRS/ Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth communication modules, the ready-to-run VTC 6110 realizes real-time communication and data collection. The VTC6110 is built with 8-level power ignition delay control to boot up and shut down voltage with low power protection. The wide thermal design enables vehicle to roam between temperatures of -22 to 140F. Along with multiple display connections with VGA, DVI and LVDS, the VTC 6110 fully supports vehicle signage and infotainment. The bonus feature of expansions capability is created with mini PCIe and one PCI-104 slots to adapt most off-the-shelf modules. The NEXCOM vehicle computer series has been proven its economic value in semi-trailer trucks, utility trucks, service vehicles, dusty bulldozer, buses, locomotives and marine vessels.

NEXCOM's long-term available VTC 6110 system has passed several rigorous tests, including vibration, shock, extreme temperature, to ensure its reliability and safety in the harsh industrial environments. NEXCOM also provides IP65 protection kit, shock resistant protection kit, back-up battery and LVDS touch screen for optional enhancement. Besides, the VTC 6110 offers an open structure platform that allows system developers to select and control applications and peripherals that best meet their business needs.
