January 22, 2014 – ADLINK Technology announced Matrix MXE-5400 fanless embedded computer based on 4th generation Intel Core i7-4700EQ quad-core processor. The MXE-5400 maximizes manageability and security for a wide range of applications, making it an ideal solution for outdoor intelligent transportation, digital surveillance, security, and industrial automation applications. When accompanied with ADLINK MSDK+—based on Intel Media SDK and Quick Sync Technology—media streaming capability is boosted and CPU loading reduced, increasing the competitive edge over conventional solutions.
MXE-5400 is hardware-ready for Intel vPro technologies, which allow administrators and users to manage and control the system remotely via encrypted out-of-band (OOB) TCP/IP communication by Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) 9.0. ADLINK’s SEMA offers real-time monitoring of system health and access to an easy-to-use library of APIs and management utilities.
I/O support includes support for 3 independent displays from DVI-I, dual DisplayPort, 4 serial ports with surge protection, 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 8 isolated digital input/output and 6 USB 3.0 ports, plus one internal USB 2.0 for dongles. An internal dual SATA-III interface accommodates RAID support, and the dual mini PCIe interfaces support wireless communication options—such as BT/WiFi and 3G—with one configurable to mini SATA access by jumper selection. In addition, surge protection of GgE ports and COM ports further accommodate outdoor applications.
The ADLINK MXE-5400 has operating shock tolerance up to 50 G and an extended operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C.
“To meet the booming need for mission-critical applications, systems must accomplish assigned tasks with the utmost dependability and in a timely manner. Not just abundant computing power, but also reliability and ruggedness, are critical in systems to satisfy the rigors of demanding environments,” said Kenny Chang, director of I/O platforms, ADLINK Technology. “With our MXE-5400 and SEMA as a cornerstone of our intelligent computing platform line, customers enjoy the maximum performance, manageability, and connectivity they have come to expect from ADLINK’s fanless embedded computers, but at significantly higher levels."
