Moxa Embedded Computers Set New Record in Operating Temperature

Typical industrial standards call for an operating temperature range of 0 to 40°C. Although this operating temperature range is already far more rugged than that of common consumer products, industrial grade computer are exposed to harsh environments and need higher quality construction. A solid thermal design is an essential part of building industrial-strength products.

Moxa recently launched the V2101 x86-based Intel Atom 1.1 GHz embedded computers. Most notably, the V2101 supports a wide operating temperature range of
-40 to 85°C—which is the widest operating temperature range of all x86-based embedded systems on the market! Moxa needed to overcome many obstacles and challenges to achieve this accomplishment, which was no easy feat.

This accomplish inspired a great deal of feedback and questions about how we were able to defeat the current record. To discover the secrets behind Moxa's record-setting wide operating temperature for embedded computers, check out our System Thermal Solution in Moxa Embedded Computers Flash video, and visit http://www.moxa.com/Event/Sys/2010/V2101/Index.htm for more details.
