Operating System Customization

Do you need better battery life on your product? Do you need a more secure hardware platform? Would you like to reduce bootup time and increase performance?

In addition to mechanical and electrical customisation, Steatite is able to support requests for custom operating systems such as Windows Embedded Standard and can supply units with the custom image pre-installed on traditional magnetic media or various forms of flash media.

Through using Windows Embedded Standard you can take advantage of the many benefits of an operating system specifically designed for your needs whilst maintaining the full hardware and software support you have come to expect from the Microsoft Windows XP environment, thus removing the need for heavy redevelopment costs on software currently running under a Microsoft Windows environment.

Please refer to our Windows Embedded Standard section for full details on the benefits of selecting Windows Embedded Standard on your rugged mobile computer.
