Embedded platform is cool and quiet
The eBOX745A-EFL300 is an ultra-low-power fanless embedded platform powered by an NS Geode 300MHz processor.
SBCs target entry-level applications
Two new fanless 3.5in embedded platforms answer continuing demands for low-power entry-level SBCs.
The NA-0043 meets the critical demand for hardware platforms that are able to handle this type of bandwidth.
The platform has a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) from a networking performance point of view, and can also be used as a VPN gateway, network bandwidth controller, SSL, firewall, IDS/IPS and more.
The NA-0043 network appliance platform makes outstanding use of the ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) Intel Celeron M processor with an Intel 852GM North Bridge chipset.
It supports up to a total of four 10/100Mbit/s Ethernet ports and supports extreme data transaction performance in a network layer.
The platform is optimised best for data communication and it can be configured to fit different customer requirements accordingly.
The NA-0043 supports a LAN-bypass feature for abnormal status.
It supports different bypass levels with this feature such as power, BIOS boot, OS and application program failures.
"The software provider can decide to keep connections between two specific network segments if the devices fail", said Philip Wei, Product Manager of Axiomtek's Industrial PC Division.
For system logins with monitoring and building control proxy, the NA-0043 has space for a 2.5in hard drive for software porting by software solution providers.
If needed, the embedded OS (operating system) can be stored on an optional CompactFlash type-II card.
A security VPN coprocessor adapter can be added through a Mini PCI socket.
Powerful enclosure management features include BIOS redirection to COM port and LCD indicators for link activity and network transfer rates.
The NA-0043 is an ultra-low-power mobile small-form-factor and easily integrated platform for Internet-enabled devices.
This intelligent terminal network node can support data transactions and critical processes.
It is a great alternative for mobile applications, such as online logistics, on-site services like airlines and railways, on-site inspections like manufacturing system, on-site inventory like warehouse service, and more.
