ePanel

The SBC for mobile panel PCs

Do you need a low profile single board com- puter to be mounted directly behind the Flatpanel?

ePanel-mgxis a complete, ultra-low-profile assembled PC with a maximum height of 7 mm, based on SC1200 @ 266 MHz CPU. A wide range of software is available for this proven x86 platform. In addition to very low power con- sumption (<7 W), this system also offers a wide variety of interfaces, which makes it an ideal embedded PC.

These boards work straight out of the box and have instant availability and almost zero time to market. All interfaces and most functionalities are onboard and built in. Standard accessories are likewise off-the-shelf and permit a fast system setup. Other modules, on the other hand, always need a fully customized backplane that
