Motherboards Technology Highlights
Embedded Motherboards Mini-ITX
The Mini-ITX Motherboardhas become a very successful embedded motherboard
form factor. Key features like multi LAN and a wide range of
I/O possibilities make these products ideal for a wide range
of applications. The very compact and space saving footprint
(17 cm x 17 cm, (6.7" x 6.7") ) meets the growing need for
a small form factor and allows the customer to design a very
compact system without giving up the standard ATX mounting
holes and the I/O bracket area.
The Mini-ITX form factor fills the gap between small modules
(like 3.5" Single Board Computers) and full-size ATX motherboards.
Basic Motherboards
The Kontron basic motherboard is a new product line with a focus
on performance and price. This new line offers longevity of
2-3 years, less complex/more basic features, faster release at the
release of chipsets, and of course Kontron quality and support.
Compared to embedded motherboards that offer up to 7 years
availability and support, basic motherboards focus on applications
with fast innovation cycles and high demands on computing and
graphics performance. Equipped with only the latest and most
demanded interfaces, Kontron basic motherboards are extremely
cost-effective, making them ideal for high-volume applications with
fast innovation cycles in the fields of gaming, digital signage, POS,
check-in terminals, ticketing machines, hotel multimedia terminals
or even industrial shop floor applications for quality control. Among the products in this line are ATX Motherboards, Flex ATX Motherboards, MicroATX and a number of accessories.
Embedded Server Class Motherboard
Kontron adds a server class category to its already extensive portfolio of
embedded and standard motherboard products, and feature long-life embedded
server processors from Intel. These server boards are ideal for medical imaging,
simulation, storage and multimedia telecom and data center markets.
They also offer leading-edge remote management tools with support for KVM and VM
over IP for real time access.
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) enable researchers and scientists to explore hitherto unreachable depths. They also have commercial applications with oil and gas companies using them to obtain detailed maps of the seabed for laying pipelines cost effectively and with minimum disruption to the environment. Another typical life saving application is mapping an area of the ocean to determine the presence of mines.
