NEW: RUGGED Q170 – Flexibility combined with robustness

13.03.2018

The RUGGED Q170 not only impresses with its sixth-generation Intel® Core i5 CPU and up to 32 GB of selectable RAM, but also with a new feature. In addition to the usual areas of application for the RUGGED series, which mainly relate to the outdoor sector, the newcomer is now also conquering other areas of application.

RUGGED Q170 stays Outdoor & goes Vehicle Computing

The Like its predecessors in the RUGGED series, the RUGGED Q170 is optimally equipped for outdoor use. The Mini-PC can easily cope with an extended temperature range from -40° Celsius to +70° Celsius. At the same time, the inner workings of the industrial PC are protected from environmental influences such as humidity and dust by passive cooling and the robust metal housing. In addition to the long-known application scenario under harsh conditions, the RUGGED Q170 with its dimensions of 250 x 55 x 150 mm is the first model in the RUGGED series that is also suitable for use in vehicles. Thanks to its wide range input (9-36 volts), the Mini-PC can absorb voltage peaks. In addition, the embedded PC is vibration and shock-tested in accordance with American military standards.

Flexibility through modular design

With the RUGGED Q170, for the first time since spo-comm Mini-PCs have been available, it is possible to expand the number of interfaces yourself in just a few simple steps. Thanks to the optional LAN module, the four LAN ports can be expanded to eight LAN ports, allowing the Mini-PC to withstand even more complex network applications.

Special feature: With the help of PoE (Power over Ethernet; see also"What is PoE?"), it is also possible to supply the four modularly expandable LAN ports with power. The security sector in particular benefits from this feature, with which it is now possible to control up to eight surveillance cameras - for example in the subway or at airports - with just one mini PC.

Two display ports and a VGA connection allow independent image output on up to three screens. Thanks to the integrated Intel® HD Graphics 530 and the two display ports, an output of 2x 4K@60Hz is also possible, which in combination with the robustness of the RUGGED Q170 also speaks for outdoor digital signage applications.

The RUGGED Q170 also offers the option of implementing a multi-SIM card. This ensures that the Mini PC is connected to a network at all times with the help of a broad network spectrum.
