Embedded computer uses Intel Atom CPU

Paul Boughton

Nexcom is expanding its range of industrial computers with the launch of several new embedded boards and systems that are based on the energy-efficient Intel Atom CPU. For years, designers of embedded systems have demanded a low-power Intel architecture CPU that provides sufficient performance capability for a broad spectrum of applications to be addressed. The new Intel Atom processor fulfils this key role and enables many new embedded and mobile power-efficient applications to be considered.

Nexcom has utilised Intel's Atom-based technology in a number of its new embedded computing platforms including the ICES 170 ETX Module, the ICES 270 Com-Express Module and EBC 340 3.5inch Embedded CPU Board. In addition, the robust NISE 2000 range of Fanless PCs has been launched for applications that require a complete system.

All platforms are based on the energy-efficient, yet cost-effective Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor and offer industrial-grade computing at a commercially acceptable cost. In addition, the N270 CPU is included on Intel's Embedded Roadmap and therefore has an extended life-time support. The development of these rugged Intel Atom-based platforms underlines Nexcom's commitment to develop new industrial computing for vertical markets such as control and automation, digital signage, retail, POS, infotainment and gaming.
