EVOC Rugged Notebook JNB-1401 Certified by BSI

Dec. 18, 2009 - PRLog -- With 16 years of expertise in the IPC technology, EVOC provides custom products and services portfolio to deliver best safety performance, excellent quality, reliable results yet flexible enough to meet the needs of a broad spectrum of customers. In early 2009, EVOC JNB-1401 Rugged Notebook was released. As a rugged notebook computer featuring wide temperature, waterproofness, dustproofness, salt fog resistance, anti-vibration and anti-drop performance, portability, ruggedness, powerful mobile computing capability, adaptability to harsh environments, high reliability and stability, JNB-1401 can meet the needs of customers in special industries to carry out special tasks.

A notebook which can be used in the rain
JNB-1401 is equipped with a waterproof keyboard, sealing strip and waterproof membrane, which can prevent water from entering into the circuit board. The keyboard can operate normally when completely immersed in water.

JNB-1401 contains a resistive waterproof touch pad, which can be used no matter how much water accumulates on it. In addition, all its core computing parts are completely independent of other parts. With unique waterproof design and special sealing materials, all the ports and interfaces are well-protected from any kinds of liquids and dusts. Its unique unwatering system helps achieve its all-around waterproof capability even when powered on.

Wide temperature design ensures normal operation in extreme temperature environments
EVOC JNB-1401 can operate normally within a temperature range of minus 20 to 55 Celsius. For many notebooks, batteries stop working when the temperature reaches below zero; while EVOC JNB-1401 can withstand extreme low temperatures due to its unique power supply and cooling design. Specially treated battery of EVOC JNB-1401 can be charged and discharged in extreme low temperature, so the notebook can be powered on or off normally.

How to cool down is a big problem for notebooks with fully-sealed and fanless design. EVOC JNB-1401 contains Intel low power CPU with high performance and exceptionally low heat generation. The heat generated by Northbridge and other chips is efficiently dissipated through the back cover made of magnesium alloy which does not run hot.

Anti-drop design becomes a basic feature
For notebook computers, accidental drop is inevitable, especially for those used at industrial sites. Once the notebook breaks down or data are lost, the consequences are very serious. JNB-1401 remains intact after being dropped from 0.91 meters high to the cement ground. With shock absorption design, the impact on the notebook can be reduced by 83%. This effect is mainly a result of systematic protection and overall design specifically tailored to the components of varying importance and characteristics.

Firstly, EVOC JNB-1401 contains an all-magnesium alloy enclosure with web-shaped stiffening ribs, which greatly enhance the anti-pressure, impact resistance and vibration absorption, and effectively prevent the impact from reaching inside of the notebook. The specially designed shock absorber is made of high damping materials which have high damping capabilities, resistance to extreme temperatures and ideal effect for shock absorption. In addition, the rubber edge protectors at the corners have greatly improved the shock absorption of the notebook enclosure.

Three-dimensional data protection and security technology
Three-dimensional security system is realized by special design of chipset, hard disk and identity recognition.

Apart from capabilities of withstanding harsh and hostile environments, JNB-1401 deploys multi-layer security measures to consolidate the security system. Firstly, it contains TCM chip(optional) and 2048-bit encryption to achieve chip-level security. With optional fingerprint identification, EVOC JNB-1401 also provides a biometric security system.

In order to prevent electromagnetic emission and information leakage, EVOC JNB-1401 deploys anti-EMC design, special architecture of motherboard and chassis, and overall shield for all components inside the chassis. In addition, all ports, hard disk cartridge, CD-ROM Drive and cell box are specially sealed to guard against electromagnetic interference.

In addition, this notebook computer gives full consideration to the data security issue when there is an accident. The hard disk cartridge, CD-ROM Drive and cell box are independently installed and can be quickly assembled or disassembled. When emergencies occur, the user can pull out the small hard disk cartridge in two or three seconds.

Rich Expansibility
To meet the needs of customers for expansibility, JNB-1401 is designed with unique Docking Port. With the docking station, the notebook can be expanded to two PCI interfaces, two PCI-E interfaces (or one PCI-E interface and one PC-104 expansion slot), two USB ports, two COM ports and one parallel port.
