Hatteland Display launches two new stand-alone computers; HT B17 and HT B18!

The new HT B17 is based on the previous HT B07, and the new HT B18 is based on the previous HT B08 Maritime Stand-Alone Computers, both with upgraded performance. With an enhanced cooling system, both the new HT B17 and HT B18 are high quality computers with a long operational life time, and low service costs.

Both models are completely soundless, configured without fans and harddrives. They have HDD-Free Solution with SSD storage which ensures fast data transfers to minimize boot time, and no moving parts, all within a nicely designed, compact aluminium chassis. They are equipped with new motherboards with latest technology, increased computing performance and lower power consumption: Both models features Heat Pipe Cooling Technology and Interchangeable CPU. Multipower (both AC and DC power) is standard on all HT B17 and HT B18 models making them compatible with any power systems on any vessel, being highly flexible for system integrators and shipbuilders.

The HT B17 is the slim version, although with the same technical performance. Ideal for narrow space applications, such as retrofit.

The HT B18 is the double size of HT B17 in height and is equipped with PCI/PCIe support, and gives the opportunity to add on capacity.

"The latest addition to our computer range expands our product-offerings to meet our customer-needs for smaller, fanless (no moving parts), low power-consuming computers. The market response has been overwhelming, and we will soon deliver the first HT B17 and HT B18 to our key-customers", says VP Sales- and Marketing Lars Skjelbred-Eriksen, "Hatteland Display continues to develop improved solutions for its customers, and this latest addition emphasizes our increased focus and competency within computer products".

Both computers have passed the testing at DNV according the maritime standard EN60945. Recognition by all the classification societies will follow this process, when these bodies will then issue their certifications.
