Rugged Computers to Assist in Wide Range of Public Safety Applications
AMHERST, NH - Glacier Computer, a leading designer, developer, and supplier of rugged industrial PC-compatible devices, announces that the Peabody, MA Police Department has purchased Glacier's Magnum public safety computer for the city's K9 police vehicle. Glacier's Magnum line of computers are designed to perform in the most mission critical conditions, with 24/7 operation in mind.
Said Peabody K9 Officer Eric Zawicki, "Glacier's Magnum computer stands up well for officers working the streets. Its rugged enough to withstand the day to day rigors and challenges associated with operating my K9 vehicle."
"The Magnum series is ideal for a variety of public safety applications, such as sharing dispatch information, running a warrant check, reviewing a preplan, or simply doing reports," states John Geary, Vice President of Sales, Glacier Computer.
Available with a 12" sunlight readable color display, the Magnum series offers an array of processor options, from a 600 MHz Celeron up to a 1.4 GHz Pentium M, and provides up to 1 GB DRAM. Additionally, these all-in-one computers are airbag compliant, touchscreen enabled, have LCD on/off buttons, and have internal 12VDC converters.
The Magnum series features a custom onboard diagnostic and configuration utility, as well as screen brightness controls. The diagnostic utility provides public IT personnel with "flight recorder"-like data, as well as real time access to key statistics such as processor temperature, reboots, etc. The unit accepts an array of wide area cards and supports GPS for location and AVL applications.
Providing 6V to 60V isolated internal power supply, the Magnum eliminates the need for external power converters or filters when mounted in police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and other emergency vehicles. Additional key features include multiple standard I/O, USB 2.0, internal 1 hour smart UPS and multiple expansion slots. The Magnum offers 802.11a/b/g LAN, WAN, and GPS options.
