VT Miltope, a company of Vision Technology Systems, today announced that it is introducing a next generation version of its TSC-750M military rugged laptop computer called the TSC-750M 915.
The TSC-750M 915 features the newest Intel® Centrino® mobile technology and ATI Mobility™ Radeon® X700 3D graphics processor in a sealed, military rugged laptop computer form factor tested to MIL-STD-810F/461E.
The Mobile Intel® 915GM Express chipset, designed in tandem with the Intel® Pentium® M processor, delivers exciting new performance capabilities such as a 533 MHz front side bus, dual channel DDR, Serial ATA, and PCI Express that significantly enhances the system performance. The TSC-750M 915 also features the Intel® Pentium® M 2.13 GHz processor with 2 MB L2 cache, 2 GB of Random Access Memory (RAM), 100 GB SATA ruggedized removable hard disk drive, DVD+RW/CD, and IEEE-1394B Firewire interface. It also incorporates 256 MB Video Random Access Memory (VRAM) via the ATI Mobility™ Radeon® X700 graphics processor, bringing a new age of graphics technology and power management to TSC-750M 915 users seeking both breathtaking performance and true mobility.
More than 20,000 units of earlier versions of the TSC-750M rugged laptop computer have been delivered in support of military operations worldwide. Many of these systems are already successfully deployed with US troops in support of Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom. The TSC-750M is designed to withstand the harshest tactical environment for computer systems and is used in forward areas under extreme weather and handling conditions.
The standard TSC-750M 915 system contains a 14.1" fully sunlight readable LCD display; removable 100 GB hard disk drive; and internally mounted floppy disk and DVD+RW/CD drives. The two internal removable LiIon batteries give the unit more than eight hours of battery life - the key to the portability and flexibility of the system in tactical situations. The TSC-750M magnesium composite enclosure allows the unit to withstand a drop shock in excess of three feet ensuring continued operation in the demanding environment required by the soldier technician.
"The TSC-750M 915 upgrade validates VT Miltope's continued commitment to the US military's evolving need for more robust computing capabilities that work in the toughest tactical environments with our service personnel."
