Compact embedded box IPC for embedded computer apps

Advantech has introduced the ARK-3202, a new fanless, compact, embedded Box IPC that offers an energy efficient solution for embedded computer applications.

The ARK-3202 is a I/O Box IPC with fanless form factor, and is powered by the Intel ATOM processor.

ARK-3202 offers low power consumption and flexibility, especially in the I/O interfaces, which makes it high adaptable to different applications including digital signage, factory automation, and general purpose controller. Hardware auto flow control on serial ports enables the ARK-3202 to be applied in most equipment control scenarios.

ARK-3202 offers a range of MiniPCIe interface communication modules, including WLAN and HSDPA, for wireless in-vehicle applications. ARK-3202 supports a Mini PCIe 802.11 b/g/n wireless module with 5dB antenna. In addition, ARK-3202 has on-board GPS, for in-vehicle applications. ARK-3202 is compatible with a Sierra 3.5G HSDPA modem (Siemens HC25), and WiFi/HSDPA and GPS are mutually compatible.

ARK-3202 can run Windows XP embedded, or Linux, and will phase in at the end of November.
