JLT Boosts Processing Power and Improves User Experience on its VERSO Series of Heavy-Duty Rugged Computers
08 October 2015 - 6:05PM
Combination of
market leading performance and ruggedness improves productivity in
the most difficult environments such as mines, agriculture,
maritime, and port applications
Växjö, Sweden, October
8, 2015 * * * JLT Mobile
Computers, Swedish developer and manufacturer
of reliable computers for demanding environments, today announced
an upgrade of all processor alternatives for its VERSO(TM) Series
of heavy-duty rugged computers. The higher-performance VERSO
computers can run 64-bit thick-client applications including full
desktop environments with security software, as well as advanced
applications standalone without continuous access to the cloud, for
use in areas without a reliable internet connection. In addition,
the 12" VERSO 12 computer's touch display has been upgraded to
feature the new JLT Rugged PCT(TM) technology
that uniquely integrates the latest generation PCT (Projective
Capacitive Touch) to provide an unparalleled level of durability.
The combination of enhanced processing power and PCT screen
improves responsiveness and enables a more intuitive, user-friendly
interface, increasing users' productivity. The VERSO Series is
designed for heavy duty applications such as mining, agriculture,
forestry, oil and gas, defense, maritime and offshore, container
terminals and yard logistics applications.
Both the VERSO 12 and VERSO 15 rugged computers
now come with two high performance processor options. The base
model's processor has been upgraded to the quad-core Intel® E3845
(also known as Bay Trail), providing a 2.5x performance increase
over its predecessor. For the most demanding applications, the
VERSO 12 and VERSO 15 computers can also be specified with the
Intel Core(TM) i5-4300U processor (also known as Haswell) providing
a 2.5 to 4.0 times performance increase over its predecessor.
In addition, the touch screen of the VERSO 12
rugged computer has been upgraded with the JLT
Rugged PCT technology which provides responsiveness and user
experience similar to those used in consumer electronics, yet
supporting a wide range of use cases, including use with different
types of gloves, in freezer environments and wet conditions. With a
thick protective glass covering which is practically unbreakable it
has outstanding resistance to wear and tear, eliminating problems
with scratched or broken screens which can result in operational
disruption.
All models in the VERSO Series can optionally be
fitted with 4G LTE WAN connectivity, with the capability to fall
back to 3G and GSM when necessary. Assisted GPS/GLONASS support is
also optional. The VERSO Series comes with dual-band 802.11ac WLAN
and Bluetooth EDR 4.0 connectivity as standard, with both radios
taking advantage of custom-designed highly sensitive PIFA (planar
inverted-F antenna) technology for reliable connections in
environments with poor coverage. Built-in features include a backup
battery with a 9-36V DC-DC converter for uninterrupted operation,
even during power outages.
As with all JLT rugged computers, the VERSO Series
comes with the JLT "no questions asked" JLT:Care service level
agreement, which guarantees short repair times and the highest
level of support to minimize down time at predictable cost, in the
event of a computer problem.
Units of the upgraded VERSO Series are available
for customer evaluations and tests today, and the complete family
will be rolling out in production throughout the remainder of the
year.
