Kontron embedded Box-PC MICROSPACE MPC-pONE with Intel Atom Z5xx processor
Kontron has announced the new Kontron embedded Box-PC MICROSPACE MPC-pONE, an application-ready platform for cost-sensitive applications that demand a robust design and unmatched availability. The extremely compact, fanless Box-PC is based on the long-life Intel Atom Z5xx processors and the Intel USW15W Controller Hub. With the completely sealed aluminum housing, operation can be carried out maintenance-free for more than 11 years in 24/7 operation (MTBF > 100,000 hours). The Kontron embedded Box-PC MICROSPACE MPC-pONE delivers many advantages to OEMs who require an application-ready solution for limited spaces, low power and overall cost effectiveness.
The The robust fanless aluminum housing also has enough space to integrate an optional 500 GB 2.5 hard disk or 40 GB SSD for maintenance-free designs. Alternatively, the system can be booted via the integrated MicroSD slot, so system designs without moving parts can be created that are shock- and vibration-proof.
Another advantage for OEMs is that the new Box-PC is available as an off-the-shelf application-ready platform and can be ordered as a pre-configured platform including OS licenses and with customer-specific designs modifications. This results in an optimized supply chain and saves valuable resources. Possible application scenarios are in industrial automation, or as a kiosk or POS/POI system and in customer or information terminals. The Kontron embedded Box-PC MICROSPACE MPC-pONE is available now.
