POC-40 series ultra-compact fanless computers launched

POC-40 features Intel's 10nm process technology, the new-generation Elkhart Lake Atom x6211E dual-core processor offers 1.8x the single thread and 1.5x multi-thread performance over the previous Gemini Lake Atom CPUs. In addition to the performance boost, the system is also smaller than the previous generation. To put things in perspective, when compared to the Neousys POC-200 series, POC-40 has twice the processing power at almost only half the size.

With its DIN-rail mountable design, all of POC-40's rich high-speed I/Os can be easily accessed. They include two Gigabit Ethernet, four USB (2.0/ 3.1 Gen1), four COM and optional isolated digital I/Os for industrial communication and control. As for internal expansion, it has an M.2 B key socket and an M.2 E key socket for 5G/ 4G/ WiFi 6/ WiFi 5 modules to provide wide-area coverage and real-time data transmission for industrial and mobile gateway applications.

As a fanless industrial-grade computer, POC-40 supports 12V DC to 20V DC wide-voltage operation, -25 to +70^oC wide-temperature operations, and two installation methods, it can be DIN-rail or wall-mounted. On top of all the jammed-packed features in such a small enclosure, the POC-40 is United States Military Standard (MIL-STD-810G, Method 514.6) certified to withstand vibration.

"POC-40 is an x86-based computer platform enclosed within an extremely compact fanless design. Comparing to a ARM-based gateway, it provides significantly more computing power in similar dimensions. With rich I/Os and the ability to support the latest wireless communication modules, POC-40 is fundamentally sound, easy to implement and can be deployed into industrial environments for edge/ fog computing or decentralized data collection and processing," said Ariel Chen, Product Manager of Neousys Technology.
