FREMONT, CA - September 29, 2004 - Arista
Corporation, a leading industrial computer solutions provider and
system integrator has recognized the increased market demand for
rugged, dusttie industrial computers and introduces the new ARP-2115,
a fanless 15 inch Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Industrial Panel
Computer. The lightweight unit has resistive touch-screen or
strengthened glass that protects the LCD panel from scratching and its
aluminum panel with its heavy-duty steel chassis makes it ideal for
rough environmental conditions. The ARP-2115 is unique in that it has
no moving parts such as fans or disk drives. Without these moving
parts the unit provides higher reliability and far less system
failures when compared to traditional computers.
The ARP-2115 industrial LCD computer is
equipped with VIA low power Eden 667MHz CPU that is expandable to
512MB of system memory. The unit has a 15 inch resistive touch screen
LCD with 1024 x 768 resolution and uses a Compact Flash Card as a
storage device replacing the traditional Hard Disk Drive (HDD). The
ARP-2115 LCD computer has a wide range of integrated interfaces for
the connection of external devices. The unit has two USB 1.1 ports,
one RS-232/422/485 port, two RS-232 ports and one 10/100 Ethernet
port.

fanless, dusttie design, provides the user with a dependable and
highly reliable Panel PC," said Stewart Austin, director of sales
