Parvus will display the new ZYPAD WL 1000 wrist wearable wireless computer at the Armed Forces Communication Electronics Association’s 2006 TechNet International Conference held today in Washington D.C.
The ZYPAD WL 1000 is a wrist-wearable wireless computer flexibly designed to give the user instant access to computing capabilities while carrying out non-computer tasks in the field. Featuring hands-free operation, robust wireless capabilities, and built-in GPS tracking, this versatile wearable computer serves as an ideal tool for Emergency Search and Rescue, Healthcare, Homeland Security, Maintenance, Law Enforcement, Logistics, Transportation, and Defense applications.
The WL 1000 integrates features of a standard computer along with the convenience and ergonomics of being wrist worn. This hands-free, innovative design ensures an ideal weight distribution and maximum comfort even over clothing.
The wireless functionalities of the WL 1000 ensure continuous connectivity no matter the location of the user, by utilizing Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS capabilities. Using Linux or Windows CE operating systems, the unit can be quickly configured to access any remote host system through integrated wired or wireless interfaces. digy
Integrating a tilt and dead reckoning system, the WL 1000 can be used to determine if a user is motionless or fallen down and then transmit a locator beacon after a specified amount of time. This technology is also used to conserve power consumption by placing the unit in standby mode when the user’s arm hangs down beside the body (patent-pending). This enhanced power management functionality enables the user to continuously interface with the unit up to more than 8 hours without interruption, depending on usage.
