Advantech
has provided a German company with a Pentium® processor
Biscuit PC, the PCM-5860, to serve as an important component of
a fiber optic network traffic monitoring system.
Information
Traffic Cop
This high-end
system is responsible for monitoring network traffic on a fiber
optic network. It is also able to locate faults anywhere on the
network. Lastly, it is essential for network construction optimization.
This system can be used by companies with fiber optic LANs, phone
companies, IP service providers, and virtually any organization
which employs any kind of fiber optic network.
Why
Advantech?
This system
uses remote test units (RTUs) to collect and analyze measurements
on the network. Inside each RTU is an Advantech PCM-5860 Pentium® based
Biscuit PC. This board was not only chosen because of its all-on-board,
all-in-one solution, but also because of its reliability and Advantech's
guarantee of supply for several years to come (based on customer's
forecast). Another reason that this company chose Advantech and
its product was because of the strong technical support supplied
by both the local German branch office and the global headquarters
office. In the future, Advantech will help them phase-in the PCM-5862L,
an updated equivalent to the PCM-5860. Advantech will also assist
this company with other solutions and mass production models.

PC-based
Time Card Machine
A traditional
clock maker in Germany has entered the computer age now, partly
with the help of Advantech and its compact half-size Biscuit PCs.
A
Smart Way to Clock In
This company
has designed a system which serves as a time card machine but
has a smart card interface. These PC-based terminals, which are
placed strategically around an office or workspace, not only record
the time that an employee comes and goes, but also is able to
provide the employee with pertinent information on a touchscreen,
browser-like interface. By using Java-based applications, users
can access personnel and employment information, schedules, events,
and even Internet-based information.
