Parvus Corp will soon release the OrbiTrak GSM, a new PC/104 module for intelligent vehicle and airborne computing systems requiring worldwide GSM/GPRS roaming and GPS positioning. An ideal solution for demanding mobile communications and global positioning applications (bus, rail, ship, air), the OrbiTrak GSM combines wireless tri-band GSM/GPRS connectivity with a low-power 12-channel parallel-tracking GPS receiver in a single, highly integrated embedded board.
This compact (90 x 96mm), hardened telematics module is built to resist high mechanical stress, thermal shock and extended temperature operation.
Supporting full interrupt-sharing for all its serial ports, the board includes a four-channel 16C550 UART with two RS232 serial ports free for other devices.
Board configuration is done using FlexiSet EEPROM board settings, which eliminates banks of interrupts and base address jumpers.
