Cadia Networks Unveil Common Embedded ARM Cortex A9 i.MX 6 Platform

While Intel’s Open Pluggable Specification is becoming a defacto standard for digital signage, there are a wide range of requirements, all are faced with tremendous cost reduction pressures. As the newest and third member of this family of products, OPS-5332A addresses these needs with a rich feature set, striking a great balance at the lower end of the OPS Module product family spectrum.

The OPS-5332A is a fanless, open pluggable module that is only 200mm × 119mm × 30mm (W×D×H) in size. This embedded computing platform is ultra compact and offers a high degree of connectivity and expansion options including six USB ports, two HDMI, and one VGA port supporting dual independent displays, making it an ideal option for digital signage applications. Onboard USB-WiFi, 3G module and Gigabit Ethernet are also available for high speed networking. All of this connectivity is packed into a space-saving, power-efficient fanless OPS module, suitable for wide range of digital signage application environments.
