Overview Volo, based in the U.K., planned to implement a number of entertainment devices in train carriage seats. The devices needed a hardware and software environment that ensured cost-effective development and compliance with regulations on carriage modifications. It was vital the infrastructure created minimal heat and avoided fan-assisted cooling. After analysing the market, including a Linux solution, the company chose a processor running Microsoft Windows XP Embedded created by Microsoft Gold Windows Embedded Partner, DSP Design in the U.K. As a result, Volo built and deployed the device that met industry standards in only six months. The company gained a stable software environment that ensures low-cost application development and developer tools that are widely known.
