Linux based Waterproof panel PC

Linux based Waterproof panel PC
IEI Technology announced a rugged, Linux-Based, IP67-waterproof panel PC aimed at marine, avionics, military, mining, engineering, and industrial applications. The Sailor-12A and sunlight readable Sailor-12ASR run on 1.6GHz Intel Atom processors, and offer 12.1-inch, 1024 x 768 touchscreens and 802.11b/g/n WiFi.

The Sailor-12A is equipped with a die-cast aluminum enclosure that helps to dissipate heat, enabling fanless operation. The sealed IP67 and NEMA6 compliant chassis, touchpanel, connectors, and optional cables are waterproof, and the system is "designed for high reliability, shock and vibration tolerance, use under an extreme range of temperatures and in harsh environments. The Sailor-12A uses the same Atom N270 and Intel 945GSE + ICH7M chipset typically found on netbooks. The device's WiFi radio supports 802.11n standard, which offers up to twice the range of 802.11g, as well as faster speeds of 300- to 600Mbps. Storage options include a CompactFlash II slot and a 2.5-inch SATA hard disk drive (HDD) bay.

The 12.1-inch touchscreen is said to offer an ambient light sensor for automated screen adjustments to optimize viewing. The optional Sailor-12ASR adds to that with Anti-Reflection (AR) technology and "advanced deep dimming to black" for better readability in sunlight.
