Axiomtek Reveals New Low Power Pentium M Compliant Epic Form Factor SBC
High Performance, Expandable EPIC form factor board lowers overall total cost of ownership for optimized dual display transaction terminal applications
Taipei Taiwan, January 12, 2006 AXIOMTEK, an Associate Member of the Intel Communications Alliance (ICA), is proud to launch a new low power EPIC form factor SBC, the EP810, which features an Intel® 852GM with ICH4 chipset. The EP810 SBC supports Socket 479 for Intel® Pentium® M and Intel® Celeron® M processors running at 400MHz FSB speeds for convenient logistic and better CPU performance; it offers alternatives of low voltage Intel® Pentium® M and ultra low voltage Intel® Celeron® M processors as well. Available in a choice of configurations and options, the SBC offers developers a robust and reliable platform to build on with the added benefit of being able to realize faster times to market for new products. As a member of the ICA, AXIOMTEK joins a large community of communications and embedded developers and solution providers.
EPIC is a new standard single board computer (SBC) with a defined 4.53" x 6.50" (115mm x 165mm) form factor, which has 29.4 square inches in total real estate and suits a broad range of applications for which EBX is too large a solution and PC/104-Plus would require multiple boards. The standard allows PC-style connectors for I/Os instead of the pin-headers common on PC/104 designs, and it also tends to increase reliability, particularly in environments that are prone to extreme shock and vibration.
The ideal cost effective compact size single board computer easily works with regular laptop Intel® Pentium® M and Celeron® M CPUs. This helps to lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) when compared to other small form factor SBCs with onboard low power CPU supported only, and furthermore, the EP810 offers a CPU option with an ultra low voltage onboard 1GHz Intel® Celeron® M processor. For wireless terminal applications, this embedded board supports Mini PCI Type III expansion for off-the-shelf modules in the market. Furthermore, the board offers a dual LVDS LCD display function, which is a popular display solution for transaction terminals, such as DualView self-help fueling machines and DualView POS/KIOSK systems.
"The EP810 continues to strengthen our appeal to developers as they are able to come to one manufacturer for all embedded requirements," said Joseph Chou, Product Manager of Embedded Computing Division. "The EPIC form factor provides more I/O features compared to 3.5-inch SBCs and less unnecessary cost wasting compared to 5.25-inch SBCs on embedded applications. The EP810 is the most ideal with this form factors advantage."
With Intel IPD's commitment, the EP810 is guaranteed to be shipped under a long term supplying trend. Other rich I/O features, which include Dual LAN (10/100/1000Mbps), CompactFlashTM, 4 USB 2.0 ports, AC97 Codec Audio, and digital I/O, maximize customer's business opportunities to adopt the board into various applications.
This astonishing solution will be available in the middle of February 2006. For more information or pricing, please contact your territory sales representative or info@axiomtek.com.tw.
