WEBS-21G0 Is Rugged, Compact, Fan-less and Ideal for Digital Signage, Medical Equipment, IoT Edge, Communication and Industrial Automation and Control Applications
TAIPEI, TAIWAN – April 20, 2021 – Portwell, Inc., a world-leading innovator for Industrial PC (IPC) and embedded computing solutions, and an IoT Solutions Titanium Partner of the Intel Partner Alliance, announces the release of the WEBS-21G0, a fanless embedded system featuring 8th Generation Intel® Core™ processor product family with a low 15W thermal design power (TDP). Its rugged, compact design and high performance make the WEBS-21G0 a perfect solution for applications in industrial factory automation, automated test equipment, semiconductor equipment, robotic control, automatic unmanned vehicle, medical/healthcare equipment, digital signage, industrial IoT gateway, digital security surveillance, broadcasting systems, transportation applications and more.
The new rugged WEBS-21G0 is equipped with Portwell’s NANO-6051, a Nano-ITX embedded board based on the 8th Generation Intel® Core™ processor product family. Processors available in this family combine low power consumption with high processing power and improved performance compared to previous generation processors. The WEBS-21G0 also features DDR4 2400MHz non-ECC SO-DIMM up to 32GB and storage interface 1 x M.2 Key M 2280 socket for SSD. For functionality extension, it provides 3 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 on rear I/O to ensure fast data transmission with low-power consumption; 1 x M.2 Key E 2230 socket for wireless module connectivity including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth which can make it an ideal solution for communication and IoT applications. Intel® I210AT and Intel® I219LM Ethernet Controllers provide dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN access via the two RJ-45 connectors. 1 x RS-232/422/485 is selectable by BIOS adjustment. The Intel Gen 9.5 graphic engine supports dual Mini DisplayPort (DP) on rear I/O with resolution up to 4096×2304. It provides a selection of multiple connections such as displays, graphic cards, cameras, storage and more on the same system.
Moreover, WEBS-21G0 offers audio port and DC 12V input on rear I/O, on-board TMP 2.0 for application security, and supports multiple operating systems including Microsoft® Windows® 10 IoT Enterprise, Ubuntu®, real-time Yocto Project® (YP) and Wind River®.
“Thanks to the 8th Generation Intel® Core™ processors’ superior processing power of up to 4.1 GHz and advanced capabilities, Portwell’s NANO-6051 Nano-ITX board delivers greater performance than its predecessors,” says Yaling Sun, Portwell’s product manager, “yet it is still packed within a compact 120mm x 120mm footprint and integrated into a small 150mm x 150mm x 63mm size to form a compact fanless embedded system that can fit specific design configurations with performance and low-power requirement, especially where space is at a premium.“
The WEBS-2000 embedded system series is built upon a “brick“ concept design created by Portwell to simplify system customization. It implements an intelligent structure by building the system chassis using three simple elements: wall, pillar and cover. This innovative design of the WEBS system series enables flexible and easy customization. The Portwell WEBS-21G0 further benefits from the brick concept chassis with top cover/heat sink mechanism that facilitates efficient heat dissipation. The rugged and compact WEBS-21G0 supports a temperature range from 0ºC to 50ºC, while at the same time, its fan-less design ensures silent operation, reliability and low maintenance rate and costs.
“With its superior processing power, high expandability and support for 4K display (4096×2304), Portwell’s WEBS-21G0 is indeed an ideal solution for high computing power and high 3D video/image applications. Plus,“ Sun adds, “Our customers also benefit from the peace of mind they get from the 10+ years long product life span support inherent with this Portwell product.“
