Advantech's
PCM-5862 Pentium®
based- processor biscuit PC board is the heart and brains of this
well-designed Info-Kiosk. Advantech is doing its part to bring
state-of-the-art communication technology to the public.
Stylish
Info-Kiosk State of the Art
 An
info-kiosk is a way to give the public access to the internet
and on-line commerce. These particular kiosks have been used in
European public facilities such as train stations, airports and
other locations such as hotel lobbies. They are being used by
people to buy theatre, bus, plane and movie tickets, check schedules,
make reservations, read e-mail, see advertisements and a host
of other things. These kiosks are providing a simple interface
to people, no matter their location. But please don't forget,
under the elegant exterior of the kiosk is a tough and reliable
Advantech PCM-5862 multimedia biscuit PC board that is able to
withstand the rigors of 24 hour daily nonstop use.
Meeting
Our Customers' Needs
The European
company that designed and manufactured the kiosk required a complete
board solution that would integrate well into the sleek sculpture-like
shape of the kiosk. They required full multimedia capabilities,
Pentium® processor -level speed and capability, full internet
and network functionality, integrated touchscreen and keypad ability
as well as power management features. All these functions had
to be integrated into a very small confined space. Advantech's
PCM-5862 offered the functions and flexibility they were looking
for.
