Product Schematic

|
There are several key elements in a Mobile Computing Solution; Look
at Public Safety as an example:
Mission-critical Software applications like Computer
Aided Dispatch and DMV / NCIC database inquiries from Cerulean
VisionTek and Public Safety Technologies (PST); public or private
wireless Network services like CDPD from AT&T and
VERIZON, BellSouth’s Mobitex, or Motorola’s 800 MHz data channel
for their radio systems; Wireless Modems from Sierra
Wireless and Novatel Wireless, Host Server self-maintained on
customer premises or Hosting Services are now being
outsourced to groups like PSIP (Public Safety Integration
Partners).The end-user however, in this example the police patrol
officer, has to work in a harsh environment that requires a high
performance Ruggedized Mobile Computing System .In this
application and others like it the ROCKY II + Ruggedized
Mobile Computer is the most important and visible component of
the Solution.
