Does utilizing the “Embedded PC” design lead to a less reliable or durable solution because the processor is outside and exposed to the elements?
No. The reality is that most of an OCD’s components are required to be outside in both configurations and an embedded PC, built to a ruggedized specification, is just as durable in an outdoor environment as an off the shelf PC that is placed inside. The ruggedized specification dictates that all components are commercially rated to operate in an outdoor, 24×7 operating environment. Texas Digital’s annualized failure rates for our embedded PC solution are lower than the annualized failure rates of most standard notebooks ( www.gartner.com/press_release/asset_154164_11.html ).
