Products IPC Products Single Board Computer About SBC

Portwell, Inc. is a leading designer and manufacturer of PICMG slot boards. Featuring more expansion slots for add-in cards, high integration with versatile backplanes, and ease of upgrading and maintenance, these boards are well suited to critical applied computing applications.

As an Associate (Silver) Member of Intel^® Communications Alliance, Portwell is guaranteed at least five-year availability of the Intel^® components contained in the Embedded Intel^® Architecture. This helps equipment manufacturers to secure the longevity of products that have gone through long periods of validation.

All the components used in the Portwell SBC are specifically selected to meet the environmental requirements from even the most critical industrial applications. All the boards have to pass strict and complete reliability and compatibility tests in both design and production phases.

In addition to our full-range PICMG 1.0 SBC, Portwell also provides a total solution of PICMG 1.2 system, integrating dual Xeon^® processor based SHB(PICMG 1.3), up to four independent PCI/PCI-X buses, single/redundant power supply and industrial chassis. The new PICMG 1.2 standard is characterized by the replacement of the ISA bus with PCI-X bus. Because the PCI-X bandwidth is eight times of a 32-bit / 33MHz PCI bus, many high throughput applications, such as image processing, data storage, and communication appliance, have already adopted this bus architecture. Server board is the application that most utilizes the PCIX bus. Portwell also provides slot board features in response to growing needs, and to better fit these critical applications.

In pursuit of our commitment to excellence, Portwell operates an ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 qualified system (from initial design, through manufacturing to delivery) to provide high performance industrial computing platforms with satisfying quality. Furthermore, we consistently seek opportunities to collaborate with customers in every vertical market in order to develop the right product in their domains. Through this cooperation, customers can get the core engine or system at the same pace as their product planning.
