Original Press Release:
The Most Powerful Fanless Intel® Pentium® M Solution, Rugged and Reliable ARK-3380 Series Embedded Box Computers
ARK-3380 Series feature compact sizes, scalable processing, customizable I/Os, standalone/integrated operating capability and extreme ruggedness and reliability to excel in the most adverse application environments
(Taipei, Taiwan, April. 20, 2005) -- Advantech, the leading global ePlatform service provider, introduces the new ARK-3380 Series of Embedded Box Computers designed for space critical embedded applications requiring powerful computing capability, fanless operation, low power use, extreme reliability and ruggedness, flexible I/O configuration and long product life support. Designed to offer maximum computing power in the most efficient footprint possible, the ARK-3380 Series is fully customizable, offering a range of processing engines, storage, connectivity and I/O configurations that allow integrators to put scalable computing power, exactly where needed. The ARK-3380 Series offer feature sets designed to target vertical market applications like video, automation and networking control.
Featuring low voltage Intel® Celeron/Pentium® M processors to 1.4 GHz, and a foot print of only 10.41" x 2.72"x 5.4" (264.5 mm x 69.2 mm x 137.25 mm) with protected housing, the rugged ARK-3380 Series can be mounted inside machinery or other equipment/housing, or standalone by wall or DIN rail mount. The series accepts a wide range of power supplies (DC-power in) and choice of CFC SSD drive or 2.5" HDD. The cast aluminum chassis not only provides great protection from EMI, shock (5G), vibration, dust, cold and heat, but also acts as a functional heat sink to ensure low temperature operation (-20 ~ + 60°C).
Every ARK-3380 Series unit offers industry-standard turn-key solutions, or full customization support with Advantech's industry leading Build-to-Order Service (BTOS) and Design-to-Order Service (DTOS). This type of plug-and-forget, maintenance free, ubiquitous computing is a driving force in the embedded computing industry. The ARK-3380 Series answers this trend.
Ideally Suited For Diverse Vertical Application Needs: ARK-3380/3381/3382
The ARK-3380 Series includes application-ready platforms designed for specific vertical market applications. The ARK-3380 offers comprehensive multimedia I/O support featuring dual display, TV-out, DVI, LVDS and SC97 stereo audio. This series targets applications like POS/POI, intelligent traffic monitoring, and machine vision systems. The ARK-3381 comes with multiple I/O support featuring 5 x RS-232/422/484, 1 x RS-232 and 1 x RS-232 (Rx/Tx only without handshaking). The ARK-3381 supports applications for environment and facilities monitoring, kiosks, tolling and ticketing, and entrance controls as well as medical devices with multiple device connectivity. The ARK-3382 supports intensive networking capability by offering 4 x 10/100 Base-T Ethernet plus LAN bypass function support. This makes the ARK-3382 ideal for industrial and security gateway applications which require intensive LAN communication, such as firewall or VPN.
