The ARK-1125 series is a new line of palm-size fanless box PCs powered by Intel’s latest N200 and X7211E processors. The ultra-compact, ruggedised units from Advantech are designed to operate in a wide temperature range (-30 ~ 60°C) and despite their small size (133 x 46.4 x 94.2mm), offer plenty of connectivity options to link with various devices and peripherals.
The ARK-1125 series supports integration with M.2 AI accelerator cards, 5G/LTE, Wi-Fi modules and NVMe SSDs, enabling real-time intelligence and boosting efficiency and productivity in smart factory and smart city applications. On-board TPM 2.0 and DeviceOn software provide another layer of security and remote management capabilities.
With the palm-size form factor, rugged design, wide operating temperature range and IP4X rating, these box PCs are perfect for space-constrained applications such as manufacturing conveyors and kiosks.
The ARK-1125 series comes in two configurations with varying I/O to suit different application scenarios.
