Advantech, a global leader in the embedded computing market, has just unveiled ARK-2150, a compact (264.5 x 133.0 x 75.1 mm), fanless intelligent system with 3rd generation Intel® Core™ i3/i7 high computing power CPU with efficient management technologies that include Intel® Active Management Technology(iAMT) 8.0, Advantech SUSIAccess remote device management and iManager self monitoring and management software services. Its compact size, rich I/O, robust performance and unique management technologies are ideal for a range of embedded uses. More to the point, it supports -20° ~ 60° C wide temperature support, suited for applications needing extreme reliability and high performance.
High Performance Processors, High Speed Interfaces
ARK-2150 adopts a 3rd generation Intel® Core™ i3/i7 CPU with up to 20% improvement on performance and 30% on graphics over the previous generation CPU. DDR3-1600 and DDR3L-1333 is used for speedier data transmission and exchange at lower power; the fast I/O components such as USB 3.0 or SATAIII ports up to 6Gb/s are also available on ARK-2150. ARK-2150 supports up to 4* Intel® GbE, 4* RS-232/422/485, DIO with 2.5KV isolation, and 3 miniPCIe to support mSATA, WLAN and 3G/4G modules at the same time.
-20° ~ 60° C Wide Temperature Support, Solid Anti-vibration Design
ARK-2150 has -20° ~ 60° C wide temperature range and 5G vibration/50G shock protection, making it an ideal platform for extreme environment applications such as police surveillance, medical imaging, semiconductor machinery/AOI - high level machine automation.
Outstanding Integrated Graphics: DirectX 11 & Triple Display
ARK-2150 contains the latest generation graphics core (Intel® HD Graphics 4000) with DXVA (full AVC/VC1/MPEG2 Hardware Acceleration), OpenGL* 3.0 and DirectX 11. All adding up to a 50% 3D improvement and a 1.8x increase in HD-to-HD transcoding performance. ARK-2150 supports VGA, HDMI, and DVI-D display types. Choose any two for dual display, which can be independent; that is, two different content streams are supported.
Built-in Remote Management Technologies Increase efficiency
ARK-2150 supports Intel® AMT 8.0 and Advantech SUSIAccess for remote device management. It also embeds the intelligent, self-management, cross-platform iManager firmware.
Intel® AMT8.0 provides the following features:
Remote diagnosis and repair
Software and hardware inventory capabilities for remote asset management
Hardware based security features including system defense filters and network isolation
Power state control
