To withstand extreme humidity conditions, the CPU is encased in a 'ruggedized' chassis and runs on a customized UPS (uninterrupted power supply) which, in this case, is a normal car battery that can provide power for up to six hours. The system is configured for low-power consumption and features one-button system recovery in case of PC failure.
Findlay said Intel is working with local governments to develop local applications that can run on these community PCs.
