Innovation and intelligence: Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC & SAC

In October 2018, Microsoft presented the new Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019. This includes all function updates since version 2016. The previous CBB version, in which an update is made every six months, has been renamed Windows 10 IoT Enterprise SAC (Semi-Annual Channel). This version also includes various Windows system apps (such as Microsoft Edge, Cortana) and universal apps (such as Mail/Calendar, OneNote, Weather, Music, etc.). These are missing in the LTSC version (Long-Term Servicing Channel). As before, as the name suggests, only security updates will be made available for ten years and no function updates. The license and pricing model with the Entry, Value and High-End levels remains unchanged. A current processor list can be downloaded from Elbacom. More information about the innovative possibilities that Windows 10 IoT offers the industry can also be found on the Windows Blog.

New in the range: spo-comm on Ryzen

In our last news we already reported on the problems surrounding the current poor availability of Intel CPUs. A solution to the misery? Another manufacturer! spo-comm will be launching two Mini PCs with an AMD Ryzen V1807 CPU in the coming weeks. Our technicians are already raving about the processor's first-class performance, especially when it comes to graphics applications.

Know what's inside: New housing for KUMO IV

As our popular KUMO IV has been given two additional USB 3.1 ports (one of them Type C) , we needed a new housing. In the course of this, we had various connections printed directly so that they can now be recognized and used correctly at first glance. And for all customers who use their KUMO in public places: A Kensington Lock now offers protection against theft.
