Eurotech introduces 5.25in single-board computer

Eurotech has launched a single-board computer suitable for multimedia infotainment, communications control, media servers, machine control, digital signage, HMI and asset monitoring applications.

The Antares 5.25in (13.3cm) format board, which is based around the IntelR CoreT i7 processor range, offers dual-core processor options ranging from a 1.83GHz Celeron through to a 2.53GHz Core i7.

It is targeted at applications requiring a combination of high processor bandwidth, low power consumption, long production lifecycles, a compact footprint and rugged construction.

Operating over a wide -20C to +60C temperature range, the industrial computer includes a range of peripheral interfaces.

Expansion is possible via both PCI-Express and dual mini-PCIe sockets with SIM-card support for mobile applications.

Multiple SATA interfaces are available for disk-based systems requiring Raid capability, while the advanced graphics functionality enables the concurrent connection of up to four video outputs.

Fanless, diskless applications are catered for using the ultra-low-power i7-620UE processor coupled to a site for Flash memory containing operating system and application images.

Both Windows Embedded Standard and Embedded Linux are available pre-ported and ready to run.

The latest in a line of high-power, low-consumption computer platforms, the Antares provides advanced features such as hyperthreading, remote system management via Intel's AMT feature (available even if the operating system has crashed) and disk encryption using Intel's AT-d technology.

The Antares is also available at the heart of a 1U-high, 19in, rack-mount industrial PC.
