NEW: RUGGED Q470E – Vehicle-PC, surveillance and industry

The name of our latest industrial PC is RUGGED Q470E, which replaces the RUGGED Q170. With its updated CPU, the usual industrial characteristics and many possible customizations, the system can be used in industry, as a vehicle PC, but also outdoors and for surveillance.

Outdoor digital signage and surveillance

In addition to an integrated Intel® Core® i5-10500TE CPU with up to 3.7 GHz on 6 cores, the RUGGED Q470E can be equipped with up to 64GB RAM and up to 2TB mass storage. The CPU also houses the Intel® UHD 630 graphics unit and two DisplayPort 1.2. Content can be played on two screens simultaneously in a resolution of 4K. Thanks to the extended temperature range from -40°C to +70°C, even under adverse outdoor conditions. With the help of the optional PoE module, applications in the surveillance sector are also possible.

Vehicle-PC thanks to Wide Range Power Input

Our RUGGED models are characterized by one thing in particular: their robustness. On the one hand, this includes the fanless cooling, which enables the system to function perfectly and smoothly even where it is dusty or damp. On the other hand, the RUGGED Q470E has a wide range power input from 9V to 60V and an optional battery pack. It is also tested according to the military standard MIL-STD-810G and can therefore withstand 15G for 11ms. All these qualities give this PC the title of a perfect Vehicle PC.

4x COM, 8x USB and 8x Gigabit-LAN

The RUGGED Q470E is ideally suited for classic industrial applications as well as for Industry 4.0 and automation. On the housing with impressive dimensions of 242 x 240 x 85 mm (W x D x H) there are a number of interfaces that are important for industry. In addition to 4 COM ports (RS 232/422/485) and a total of 8 USB ports (including 4x 3.0 and 4x 3.1 Gen 2), the PC also has 8 Gigabit LAN ports. Two SIM card slots and two audio connections are also available.

Optional operating system, WiFi and PoE

Not only the operating system can be selected with this spo-comm Mini-PC. Here you have the choice between Windows 11 Pro, Windows 10 in the IoT version, and Linux Ubuntu. Optionally, you can also add WiFi, a 4G or 5G module and of course the 8x PoE extension. A wall bracket is always included.
