EDO Corporation (NYSE: EDO) is introducing its new MINI-T Rugged
Mini-Tablet Computer at the Defence Systems & Equipment
International (DSEi) Exhibition, which is being held this week in
London. The one-kilogram, personal-digital-assistant (PDA) design
offers "situational awareness in the soldier's pocket" that is
useable from the Antarctic to the desert. Typical PDA screens tend
to be too small for situational awareness information needed in the
battlefield and thus have been limited mainly to sending messages.
The MINI - T rugged computer solves this problem with as much as
twice the usable screen area as a PDA, powered by substantially
faster digital-signal processing. It includes a 6.4 inch
sunlight-readable touch screen and dual processing with a 200MHz
RISC/DSP. The MINI-T is ideal for use with maps and imagery,
including ISTAR applications for downloading UAV visuals. It
employs mobile telephone technology, which enables it to exploit
future commercial innovations. Specific cards can be inserted to
perform different or additional functions. The MINI-T rugged
computer can be used in close proximity to a radio without
interference, and can operate in any environmental condition from
-30(degree) to + 75(degree)C. It can even be submersed in water as
EDO will demonstrate at DSEi. With nearly 80 years of experience in
providing products for the military, EDO recognizes the importance
of a flexible design in producing wearable-computer products. The
MINI-T can be custom packaged to suit each customer's usage and
stowage requirements. For example, if weight and soldier mobility
are of greater importance, EDO offers the same processor with a 2.8
inch wrist-worn display. EDO believes that no other military PDA
product can match the functionality, user friendliness and
reliability of the MINI-T rugged computer. The MINI-T is a variant
of EDO's line of wearable computer products and is the latest
addition to the company's full line of genuinely rugged portable
computers, which includes the Termite. EDO's rugged computer
products are on display at stand 1379 of the DSEi Exhibition.
