Advantech Targets Residential Gateway and Smart Building Market With WINDOWS CE .NET 4.2

Advantech Co. Ltd., delivering hardware and software solutions that empower the e-world, is expanding Residential Gateway support by integrating specific features of Microsoft's Windows CE .NET version 4.2 embedded operating system. As the home/building automation market continues to expand,system integrators need reliable and high-performance computing platforms that meet both their application needs as well as their business concerns. VoIP features found in Windows CE .NET 4.2 make it easier for Advantech and our customers to integrate IP phone capability into solutions, providing a sample Telephony User Interface for custom dial pads and a VoIP Application Interface Layer with support for SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), an IP-based industry standard. Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 for Windows CE .NET 4.2 is also included, which is the same version as the mainstream PC, making integration easier with multimedia compatibility with MPEG-1, MPEG-4 and MP3. Windows Media 9 Series codecs provide enhanced compression that better supports streaming video. All these features nicely complement Advantech’s broad line of Kiosk, POI and VoIP services and solutions.(more...)
