The VORTEX Vehicle-Mounted Computer (VMC) is designed to
connect to the Iridium® satellite network – the
only network that covers 100% of the planet, including all of the
north and south poles – for reliable connectivity anywhere on
the planet. This VMC is made for extreme connectivity in extremely
remote areas and harsh environments.
TAIPEI, July 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- RuggON, a leading
manufacturer of rugged computing solutions for harsh environments
(part of Ubiqconn Technology, Inc.) today introduced the Iridium
Connected™ VORTEX, a powerful ruggedized Vehicle-Mounted Computer
(VMC) that provides truly global, reliable connectivity. With its
special antenna and built-in satellite-communications module, the
Vortex offers extreme connectivity (two-way data and message
exchange) in extremely remote areas that are not covered by
terrestrial signals like 5G and Wi-Fi.
The Vortex is a compact, all-in-one VMC (with a 7" screen) that
is not only ruggedized for shocks and bad weather, but also fits
snugly on the dashboard of any vehicle – for increased
survivability in the worst kind of weather. The fact that the whole
all-in-one system is only seven inches wide and fits on a vehicle's
dashboard, makes it perfect for providing powerful computing (13th
Gen Intel® Core™ i5) and satcom connectivity to vehicle
crews who have to operate in extremely remote areas and very bad
weather.
RuggON's rugged Iridium Connected Vortex VMC will be on display
at RuggON's trade-show booths over the coming months – including at
MINExpo (Las Vegas, 24-26
September) and IMARC (Sydney 29-31
October).
With its powerful processing and extreme connectivity, this
rugged VMC is ideal for demanding industries like mining, maritime,
aviation, government, industrials, energy (oil and gas),
transportation, agriculture, exploration, etc. It is also an ideal
solution for any scientist or explorer who wants a powerful VMC
that can keep them connected when they venture out to the most
remote corners of the planet, far beyond the reach of 5G
towers.
"RuggON is proud to bring such a unique and versatile VMC to the
market. If our users move out of range of 5G and WiFi services,
they can still connect via Iridium's global satellite network,
which covers every corner of the planet, including the North and
South Poles," said Sean Lee, vice
president of RuggON. "On top of that, the Vortex is ruggedized to
withstand extreme temperatures, dust, rain, shocks, vibration, and
more. It really offers extreme connectivity in extreme
environments."
RuggON's Iridium Connected Vortex VMC – Overview:
The Vortex is a ruggedized VMC that is designed to thrive in
extreme environments – for industries like Mining, Maritime,
Aviation, Government, Industrials, Energy (Oil and Gas),
Transportation, Agriculture, etc.
