Moxa launches ThinkCore W300 series of wireless embedded computers

Taipei, Taiwan, September 10, 2007—Moxa is pleased to announce that the ThinkCore W300Series of wireless embedded computers have been officially launched. The ThinkCore W300 embedded computers have the right combination of features for use in harsh industrial environments.

The ThinkCore W300 series of RISC-based wireless embedded computers provide two types of communication solution. The W311, W321, and W341 models support short range WLAN transmission, and the W315, W325, and W345 models support long range GSM/GPRS cellular transmission. In addition, the W300 embedded computers come with RS-232/422/485 serial ports, an Ethernet port, and an SD socket, as well as two USB 2.0 hosts and one relay output channel, all in a mini size, rugged chassis. All W300 wireless embedded computers use the MOXA ART ARM9 32-bit RISC processor, which helps guarantee that the embedded computers are solid control units, and fully satisfy users' demands for data processing efficiency and performance.

The pre-installed ready-to-run Linux-based operating system provides an open software operating system for software program development. This means that software written for desktop PCs is easily ported to the ThinkCore W300 by using a common compiler, so that you won't need to spend time modifying existing software code. The operating system, device drivers, and your own software can all be stored in the ThinkCore W300's Flash memory. All of these features make the ThinkCore W300 embedded computers an optimal choice for setting up applications that require serial and WLAN/Cellular communications.
