Glacier Introduces Fast, Rugged Pentium M 2.0 GHz

Glacier Computer has introduced its new, rugged Pentium M 2.0 GHz.
According to the Glacier announcement, the Pentium M 2.0 GHz is designed for mobile and fixed mount data collection

and is the fastest rugged computer available for the forklift and harsh environment marketplace.
The Pentium M 2.0 GHz offers performance equivalent to a Pentium IV 3.2 GHz processor and surpasses sealed and fanless computers in the data collection market today. It supports Mini PCI Express and a SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) hard drive.
Like the original Pentium M, the new 2.0 GHz model features low power usage. This translates well to Glacier’s sealed units, where heat dissipation is of great importance. Keeping the heat low inside a sealed rugged computer greatly extends the life of the electronic components. “Customers are always asking for increased power to run more intense applications, and the Pentium M was the logical choice,” states Dan Poisson Vice President of Operations for Glacier.
Providing a Pentium M in the Glacier GX 1200 and GX 1500 ensures a high end solution
for forklift and warehouse applications. The Glacier GX 1000, with a VIA 1 GHz processor will supply a lower cost solution for applications where power is not the most important factor. All Glacier units are PC-compatible and run DOS, 2000, XP, and Embedded XP. The GX 1000 runs Windows CE as well. Units are commonly configured to run in wireless networks and support 802.11 A, B, and G radios.
