Advantech's new IPC line includes:

- ARK-1360 ultra-compact cost effective embedded IPC : Advantech's ARK-1360 offers four USB 2.0 ports, two COM ports, one 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port and one mini-PCIe socket expansion for wireless applications. All are powered by an Intel Atom processor packed into a robust, ultra-compact, VESA mounted, fanless construction. The ARK-1360 features a single-board architecture with low power requirements. Low initial costs, reduced operating costs, and a long service life fits any project budget, Advantech says.

- ARK-3202 embedded IPC with comprehensive I/O functions : Advantech's ARK-3202 is powered by the Intel Atom N270 processor, and features a rugged chassis with multiple I/O interfaces. Additional features include support for dual DVI and VGA displays, mic in, line out, dual Giga LAN, optional 8-bit DIO, five USB 2.0, optional GPS on-board, and up to six serial ports with RS-422/485 auto flow control. The ARK-3202 consumes low power and offers excellent flexibility by way of its I/O interfaces. It is highly adaptable to a variety of engineering applications and industries.

- ARK-3360 high performance dual display embedded IPC : Advantech ARK-3360 is a high performance industrial computer that supports Intel Atom N450/D510 processors, and features a built-in Intel 3.5 generation chipset. It supports dual displays, high-resolution wide-screen, three GbE ports, six USB 2.0 ports, a maximum of six COM ports, and MiniPCIe/MiniPCI expansion for communication modules such as HSDPA and WLAN. The ARK-3360 brings high performance and high expansion capabilities to diverse engineering applications.

Advantech's new ARK units are ultra-compact for easy setup and maintenance. Both the ARK-3202 and 3360 support a wide range of operating temperatures, from -20 °C to 60 °C. They support a wide range of input voltages, from 12 to 24 V dc, with comprehensive I/O functions that consumpe low levels of power. Advantech's new ARK units bring embedded design solutions to applications where overheating concerns and size restrictions have traditionally been hinderances to development. In-vehicle, retail, signage, surveillance, and factory control applications are just some of the sectors which can benefit from Advantech's new low-power, embedded IPC line.
