XPand 6103 - Intel Core i7 COM Express Embedded Box PC from Extreme.... Perfect for Transportation Applications!

The shiny new (well, actually, its matte black, but new things do tend to be shiny) XPand6103 from Extreme Engineering Solutions (X-ES) has been specifically designed for rugged and processing intensive vehicle and rail transportation applications.

The XPand6103has been designed for vehicle and rail applications

As one of the smallest and most rugged fanless embedded box PCs on the market, the XPand6103 is ideally suited for environmentally challenging and space constrained situations - underwater, in the sky, underground, in hot, sweaty signal boxes, in freezers..... the possibilities are virtually limitless. And it has the approvals to, well, prove it! IEC61373, EN50155, and MIL-STD-810 shock and vibration requirements as well as the water immersion requirements of IP67.

XPand6103 from X-ES

The XPand6103 supports the 3rd generation Intel Core i7 processor by integrating the XPedite7450 rugged COM Express module.

The standard configuration includes:

• 3rd generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor
• Rugged M12 I/O connectors
• Gigabit Ethernet x 2
• CAN Bus x 4
• DisplayPort++ video
• USB 2.0
• RS-232/422 serial
• 3 x PCI Express Mini Card expansion slots
• -40°C to +70°C operating temperature

The system can also be configured to provide up to two 10 Gigabit Ethernet 10GBASE-T interfaces.

Did we mention it was rugged?

The XPand6103 can be used successfully in a huge range of transportation applications, without the need for additional power conditioning. This is achieved by supporting a wide nominal input voltage range, and complying to the power specifications of SAE J1455, EN50155, ISO-7637-2, MIL-STD-1275, and MIL-STD-704.

HOT OFF THE PRESS!!! Brand New Board from VersaLogic

Is it a Bird?

Is it a Plane?

No!

FALCON

(VL-EPU-2610-E***) 

A brand new

complete embedded computer from

VersaLogic!

The new 'Falcon' Embedded Processing Unit (EPU) combines processor, memory, video, and system I/O into an extremely compact embedded computer. Despite its diminutive size it packs a lot into a tiny space.

The Falcon is around the size of a credit card (a mere 55 mm x 84 mm), and only 22mm thick, making it a great choice for a range of applications, including Mil-Aero, Medical, Security, R&D and Robotics; industries that are always looking for smaller, lighter and lower power embedded systems, that still offer exceptional high reliability and long term availability.

Tipping the scales at under 115g, which is about the same as a smartphone, it’s also a seriously good solution for use in for portable applications and unmanned systems where Size, Weight and Power consumption (SWaP) are critical design elements.

The Falcon is VERY rugged - designed to withstand extreme temperature (-40º to +85ºC), it also meets MIL-STD-202G specifications for shock and vibration. Soldered-on RAM and latching SATA, Ethernet, power, and main I/O connectors provide additional ruggedisation for use in the corners of the world where us mere mortals will never venture......

The spec sheet reads like an engineer's wish list -

• Industrial Temperature Operation - -40º to +85ºC operation for harsh environments.
• Fanless Operation - No moving parts for CPU cooling.
• Wide Input Voltage Range - Accepts 8 to 17 volts (12V typ.).
• High Performance Video - Graphics core supports MPEG-4/H.264 and MPEG-2 encoding and decoding.
• Network - Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) with remote boot support.
• RAM - Up to 2Gb soldered-on DDR2 RAM.
• SATA - Supports SATA hard drives and mSATA flash storage options.
• Mini PCIe Card Socket - Supports Wi-Fi modems , GPS, MIL-STD-1553, Ethernet, Solid State storage and other plug in devices.
• Device I/O - Four serial ports, four USB ports, Intel Hi-Def Audio

Check out the Falcon datasheet here for a complete run down of spec and capabilities!

The Falcon will be available from stock starting in September of 2012. 

We are anticipating a lot of demand for this board, so register your interest now by contacting us at info@sarsen.net or visit www.sarsen.net for more information.
