OVERVIEW
The M-PC2 is a full Windows based fixed In-vehicle computer that can support a range of applications and multiple technologies.
The system unit and high brightness TFT touchscreens resist moisture and dust and, with a range of screen sizes available, there is a solution to fit all vehicle types. The M-PC2 computer is used for a variety of applications including database access, computer aided dispatch, incident reporting, GIS/Mapping and digital video recording.
The M-PC2 offers a wide range of interfaces to support current requirements and future expansion. Interface options include: multiple video channels, fingerprint readers, vehicle tracking systems, Automatic Number Plate Readers, printers, GPS, WLAN and WAN connectivity. Using its wireless connectivity the M-PC2 places real-time information in the hands of the field-based worker where and when they need it. The system can be used over any network including TETRA Airwave, 3G and GPRS. Whilst the M-PC2 offers full desktop PC functionality it has a wealth of features crucial to reliable operation in the vehicle, managing its temperature, shock, vibration and voltages
