Physically robust to endure even the most extreme conditions,
the Zypad BR2000 is compliant with IP67 environmental standards,
which means the submersible metal enclosure ensures protection
against damages due to water or dust. The unit, which weights
under 2 lbs (0.8 Kg) including the battery, has a wide operating
temperature between -40°C to +71°C and supports even military-grade
standards so that users can be ensured of a reliable and durable
product regardless of the situation.
The powerful Intel® Atom™ E6xx processor on the inside allows
Eurotech to bring two Gigabit Ethernet, six USB 2.0 ports,
three RS-232/422 ports, VGA video,
and audio interfaces. Wireless communications capabilities
and necessary antennas are fully integrated including 802.11 b/g/n,
Bluetooth Class 1 and a high sensitivity GPS receiver. Data
storage options ensure that large volumes of information can be
retained and shared. All of this functionality can be run on Linux,
Windows Embedded, or Windows 7 operating environments.
