Google Glass “Enterprise Edition” or “EE,” as the company is referring to it internally, is rather a spinoff of the Explorer Edition and an incremental revision targeted at the workplace. Google is ditching the fashion runways, Google Glass ‘Enterprise Edition’ is foldable, water resistant and rugged for practical use in workplace.
If you weren’t in the Explorer Program, you might not even notice that it’s a different Glass. It has all of the computer hardware along the right side just as XE did, and a prism that sits in front of the right eye. The device, similar to the Explorer Edition, has a band that stretches around the forehead, going back around the left ear. What’s most obviously new at first glance is a robust hinge mechanism that allows the computer and battery modules to fold down like a regular pair of glasses, and a hinge for folding down the left side of the band as well. The overall design of the computer side is more robust as well, built to withstand normal drops and bumps that could occur in less-than-ideal workplace environments. The device is more water resistant, built with fewer places for water and other outside material to seep in. Google has tweaked its visual aesthetic to better fit in a factory or a hospital than on a runway.
According to the sources, the Enterprise Edition includes a larger prism display for a better viewing experience, an Intel Atom processor that brings better performance, moderately improved battery life, and better heat management. The support for 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi on both 2.4GHz and 5 GHz bands is also included in revisions of Google Glass Enterprise Edition that are nearing final production……
