Taipei Taiwan (February 06, 2009)--AAEON, the premier Industrial PC manufacturer, unveils a robust, low power consumption, Multi-Purpose & Water-Proof Panel PC--FOX-80. In the current market, there are similar products, but with low CPU performance and semi-IP65 water-proof status (not completely water-proof sealed).  The FOX-80 represents the debut of a slim, rugged, fully sealed (all 6 sides) and fan-less enclosure panel PC. 

The FOX-80 is an 8.4” SVGA color TFT-LCD Panel PC with Intel ULV Celeron M 1.0GHz processor and system memory (up to 1G).  The flexible I/O ports include two COM ports, two USB ports, one optional Audio Line-out, and a LAN port.  In addition, this model accommodates one Compact Flash drive (Internal slot) and one Mini-PCI slot for expansion. The FOX-80 supports Windows XP Pro and Windows XP Embedded Operating Systems as well.

“The FOX-80 completes our FOX product line.  This small size water-proof Panel PC can be applied to warehouses and the logistics industry for real-time data assistance and optimizing workflow. In addition, the FOX-80 has been upgraded by a high luminance LCD (FOX-80STT -650nits) and low reflection touch screen to increase sunlight readability.  It also provides brightness control (day and night modes for power saving and driving safety).  Thus, the FOX-80 is an ideal unit for rugged, out-door, and vehicle applications.” -- Owen Huang, product manager of AAEON Panel Appliance & Automation Division.

To offer an efficient communication and real-time data exchange or navigation, the FOX-80 equips optional wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11b/g), GPRS and GPS with a wide range of operating temperatures for warehouse, logistic, marine, vehicle, factory automation and outdoor kiosk. In addition, the IP-65 water-proof panel PC offers an excellent solution to meet all requirements of harsh environments from consumable, chemical, pharmaceutical and cement factory automation.
