Release Date : 2006-3-31

Taipei, Taiwan, March 31, 2006-Moxa is happy to announce that the UC-7400 Series with Windows® CE 5.0 is ready to go and will be shipped starting April 10, 2006.

The UC-7400-CE series of ready-to-run embedded computers are network-centric, head-less computers that are designed to be programmed for communication applications. UC-7400-CE is built on the Microsoft® Windows® CE 5.0 operating system . The Windows programming environment makes these computers suitable for new system development and legacy system migration.

Windows® CE 5.0 is an open and scalable, 32-bit operating system that allows software developers to build a wide range of innovative, small footprint devices. The typical Windows CE-based device is designed for a specific use, and often runs disconnected form other computers, or as part of an army of distributed front-end computers that communicate with a centralized host. Examples include enterprise tools (industrial controllers, communications hubs, and point-of-sale terminals) and display devices (HMI, advertisement appliances, and interactive panels).
