Rail Transport Fare System with Ticketing and Gate Control
Advantech, the leading industrial computer manufacturer, is pleased to announce the ITA-1000 series of industrial platforms, dedicated to railway fare management. When it comes to booking office functions, including ticket vending and gate control, reliability and stability are paramount, and with the ITA-1000 series, peace of mind is designed in. Built-in IntelŽ Atom(TM) N270 processor and low-power, fanless architecture mean durable, trouble-free operation. NVRAM means records are preserved even if power is lost. Comprehensive front panel LEDs make status available at a glance.
The ITA-1000 series comes in three distinct configurations, each keyed to a certain task in railway fare management.
