RMB-C2
RMB–C2
Ruggedized wireless server for hard-core mobile applications
Overview:

CORE Systems™:
The RMB-C2 is a rugged mobile server designed for applications where severe environments and high performance meet. As a member of our CORE Systems™ product line, it tightly integrates the electrical, thermal and mechanical components into a complete system with no compromise to any one segment. 

Hardware:
The RMB-C2 can be used as a central server, a stand-alone CPU, or a remote terminal. A full complement of I/O is provided: USB, CAN Bus, VGA, serial, video, audio, odometer and digital I/O ports. Additional functionality can be implemented via expansion cards in the PC/104 and Mini PCI formats.

Optional Modules:
The RMB-C2’s modularity enables custom functionality with COTS convenience without large up-front costs.
  • UPS: internal battery-backup
  • Flash Drive: 32GB – 128GB with SATA interface
  • 802.11 b/g Wifi: FCC part 15.247 & CE certified with Mini PCI interface
  • 16-channel GPS: -158 dBm sensitivity with PC104-Plus interface
Reliable:
Long term reliability is at the core of our design philosophy. The best-in-class power supply successfully addresses the electrical havoc present in vehicular power systems. It rejects load dumps, repeated transients and over voltage. The high density extrusion becomes the heat sink for the CPU and other heat producing components. Environmental sealing blocks dust and moisture entry. The unique thermal design and industrial grade components allow fanless operation over a –40°C to 75° C range.

Applications: 
The RMB-C2 excels in demanding applications like military, mining, drilling, energy generation systems and other applications where the cost of failure can be unacceptably high. The careful circuit design, component selection, testing and superior heat dissipation maximize reliability and minimize costly downtime. The high shock and vibration ratings make it ideal for use in mining, transportation and military environments.

Operating System:
The RMB-C2 is a fully-developed platform designed to accelerate your design process. It can be supplied with Windows XPe or Linux installed.
