MEN Mikro Elektronik BL70W box PC

The robust box PC BL70W was developed for wireless applications in mobile markets. Its compliance with E-mark requirements makes it suitable for automotive applications in buses, construction vehicles or agriculture machines.

Despite its compact design, the product offers sufficient space for nine antenna slots as well as a multitude of application-specific I/O. It is equipped with four PCI Express Mini Card slots controlling up to eight SIM cards; a GPS/GLONASS interface; five slots for serial I/O or CAN bus; two USB 2.0 ports; and Gigabit Ethernet via robust M12 connectors.

The PC is designed for fanless operation in the operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C. Due to firmly soldered components and conformal coating, it resists the typical influences of automotive applications like shock, vibration and humidity.

The conduction-cooled box PC has been equipped with a powerful Intel Core i7-3517UE CPU running at 1.7 GHz. Due to the scalability within the Intel i7 family, users can size the computing power to their individual requirements. The device can easily be expanded with PCI Express Mini Cards or different I/O at any time.

The product can be used as a content or hotspot server, as a diagnosis interface or for fleet management control, as well as for passenger information systems and vehicle-to-land communication.
