1.6GHz Intel Atom 12.1" fanless PanelPC is IP67 sealed and sunlight readable
Released 24 April 2009

Designed for use in wet or dusty environments, the new marinised Panel PC from BVM is a powerful 12.1" ruggedised fanless unit, sealed to IP67, which provides local computing capability in the harsh conditions to be found in marine, transport, avionics, kiosks, signage, self-service terminals and industrial automation applications. The super high brightness 1000 cd/m2 12.1" screen with a 700:1 contrast ration is readable in direct sunlight and auto-adjusts in accordance with the ambient light level. To preserve the dust and waterproof capability of the unit, special IP67 sealed interface cables for power, USB, RJ45, COM port, CAN bus port and audio I/O are available. For enhanced versatility, the device is CANbus enabled for use in automotive applications as standard and can optionally be supplied with an 802.11 b / g /n wireless LAN interface with internal antenna giving a maximum data transfer rate of 300 Mbits/s in two streams.

The heavy-duty die-cast aluminium enclosure both protects the electronics against shock and vibration to MIL-STD-810F and acts as a heatsink, enabling fanless operation. The 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor has a 533MHz FSB with up to 2GB of RAM; two USB 2.0 ports, one wired Gigabit LAN port, an RS232 and a RS232/422/485 serial port are provided as standard. A 2.5" SATA HDD bay is provided for bulk storage.
