Crystal Group RE1312 Rugged Embedded Computer

Crystal Group has launched the RE1312 Rugged Embedded Computer, a lightweight computer with the capability to bring powerful computer processing to a variety of transportation platform applications.

Airborne and mobile computer systems need to withstand unstable power sources and a variety of shock and vibration conditions. The rugged embedded computer offers a high-compute processing ability while taking up a limited amount of space. Weighing only 3.18 kg, it is suitable for data-intensive applications including signal intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and transit case integration.

The computer is a ruggedised system based on Intel Core-i7 Gen6 Dual or Quad Core processors. The system can be configured with up to 32 GB, non-ECC DDR4 of memory. Along with six USB 3.0 ports, the unit offers two 15 mm SSD or three 9 mm SSD storage options which are externally removable.

The system’s LGA 1151 socket supports HDMI and DVI-I video output options. A tough carbon fibre composite frame serves simultaneously as the entire system’s structural backbone and EMI shield. The unit measures 30.48 x 11.43 x 22.86 cm and can be tray or bulkhead mounted with supplied bracket ears.

The computer operates over a wide temperature range, from -40 to 60°C, with 18 to 36 VDC input. It is compatible with several industry-standard operating systems and complies with MIL-STD 461, CE102 and RE102 for EMC testing.
