VIA introduces the ultra-compact VIA AMOS-3002 fanless system

VIA Technologies, manufacturer of energy-efficient x86 processor platforms, has presented the ultra-compact system AMOS-3002, that promises to withstand extreme temperatures, shocks and vibrations in telematics, digital signage, kiosks, vehicle control, machine-to-machine drivers and various other embedded scenarios.

VIA Technologies has launched the VIA AMOS-3002, an ultra-compact fanless system built around the tiny Pico-ITX VIA EPIA-P900 board. The VIA AMOS-3002 provides embedded clients with a system that offers the latest functionalities and digital media standards required for a wide range of embedded applications including telematics., vehicle control, machine-to-machine controller (M2M), digital signage and kiosks.

Harnessing the digital potential of the combination of the 1.0GHz dual-core VIA EdenTM X2 processor and media system processor (MSP) VIA VX900H on VIA EPIA-P900 board, the VIA AMOS-3002 offers a powerful industrial class PC, robust, HD-ready package that brings together all the benefits of 64 High-performance bits in an ultra-compact system. The VIA VX900H all in one, highly integrated, Provides relentless hardware acceleration of the most demanding codecs, including MPEG-2, WMV9 and H.264 in resolutions up to 1080p via the latest display connectivity standards, including native HDMI support for next-generation multimedia-intensive applications.

Espap, director of the Embedded Platform Division at VIA Technologies, has commented: “The VIA AMOS-3002 advances the AMOS series of ultra-compact systems, providing fanless dual-core computing and advanced multimedia capabilities. “The superior versatility and compact, reliable design of the VIA AMOS-3002 makes it ideal for a diverse range of embedded applications.”.

VIA AMOS-3002

The VIA AMOS-3002 is specifically designed to support the VIA EPIA P900 Pico-ITX board that combines a 1.0GHz EdenTM. The VIA AMOS-3002 has a certified operating temperature of between -20ºC to 60ºC, vibration tolerance up to 5g and shock tolerance up to 50G. The VIA AMOS-3002 is also available with the VIA EPIA-P830 which features a 1.0GHz Nano E-Series processor offering an operating temperature between -20ºC and 70ºC.

Storage is provided via a Cfast slot for a SATA interface Flash drive while an optional storage subsystem expansion chassis offers support for a standard 2.5” SATA drive.. Full I/O features on front and rear panels include two COM ports, six USB ports 2.0, including two of which are lockable for increased strength, line in and out, a DIO port, one VGA and one HDMI port for display connectivity and two GLAN ports for Gigabit networking. Optional 3G Network and Wi-Fi are available through a MiniPCIe expansion slot.
