SBCs target entry-level applications
Two new fanless 3.5in embedded platforms answer continuing demands for low-power entry-level SBCs.
The platforms boast a lower TCO (total cost of ownership) from a networking performance point of view.
The platform can also be used for VPN gateways, network bandwidth controllers, SSL, firewalls, IDS/IPS and more.
The NA-2701A supports a total of seven gigabit Ethernet ports with copper connectors.
The NA-2701B can support four gigabit fibre connections and three gigabit connections over copper.
The NA-2701B also has an integrated Mini GBIC interface with fibre connections.
Customers can easily deploy a multi-mode or single-mode fibre transceiver through the port interface.
The port transfer distance can be from 500m up to 80km in peer to peer networks.
The above mentioned Ethernet port combinations can support teaming features such as load sharing and fail over.
The NA-2701 series has extreme computing capability with hyper-threading technology in the dual processor configuration.
