January 30, 2012 - HABEY USA, introduces the BIS-6630 compact fanless embedded PC developed around the Intel Atom N2800 (1.83 GHz)/ D2700 (2.13 Ghz) with power-performance efficiency at 12W in a size of 7.5”x7.5”x2.5”. The BIS-6630 Cedar Trail embedded system offers continual connectivity with 6 USBs, 6 COM ports, 2 Gigabit Ethernet, 1 SIM socket for 3G/4G connectivity, WiFi option via 2 Mini-PCIe slots, 1 VGA, 1 DVI-D at up to 1920 x 1080, internal 18-bit LVDS at up to 1366 x 768 resolution, HD Audio, 2.5” SATA drive bay and mSATA option, 12VDC power input, and support for Windows 7 Embedded, Windows 7, Meego, and  future Linux systems.

The Intel Atom D2700 is equipped with a PowerVR SGX545 GPU clocked at 640MHz. The SGX545 is the next generation of GPUs following the iPad 2 GPU’s (similar IP) from PowerVR. The integrated graphics improves graphics by 60% better than previous Atoms and decodes a variety of video at full HD with formats (MP4, H.264, and WMV9) displaying riveting visual quality. The BIS-6630 embedded PC comes both with DVI-D and VGA display options for a more secured connection while displaying up to 1920x1080 on screen resolution.

Features

• Highly efficient fanless proprietary thermal design
• 100x100mm VESA mount ready
• Onboard Intel Dual Core Atom N2800 or D2700 processor
• Supports full HD 1080p decoding and BD file playback
• 2.5” Hard Drive external access (bottom plate access)
• VGA + DVI-D secured video connection, dual independent display
• Dual Intel 82574LGigabit Ethernet
• Two mini-PCIe slots, SIM socket for WiFi, 3G/4G, TV Tuner, video decoder and mSATA SSD support option
• Six USBs, two external COM with RS-232/422/485 options; four internal COM ports via pin headers

The BIS-6630’s rugged aluminum enclosure and fanless design is built to withstand extreme conditions thanks to lower heat dissipation and a solution for 24/7 applications. Built to work with multiple solid state options, this fanless Next Generation Intel Atom embedded system provides option of mini-PCIe mSATA SSD, 2.5” SSD  for a fully solid state system (no moving parts).  The selection of embedded processor and components extend the product life cycles to 5-7 years. 

The 7.5” x 7.5” small form factor footprint enclosure uses standard VESA 100x100mm mounting to be mounted on wall, back of monitors, or other installation needs. The BIS-6630 also has bottom drive bay plate to give easy access to hard drive or SSD via the cableless SATA II slot located at the bottom of the case.

The enclosure design adopts Habey’s same-form factor fit all approach, meaning one system that fits all standard mini-ITX boards. With customizable front IO and a back plate space of 2.5” x 7” for adding more flexibility in placement of I/Os, the BIS-6630 case allows for onboard pin connectors (i.e. COM, USB)  to be routed out to offer greater scalability. In addition, the dual mini-PCIe slots give expansions to TV-tuners, Hardware decoders, 3G/4G modules, and much more.

The BIS-6630 is equipped with dual Intel 82574LGigabit Ethernet, dual mini-PCIe slots and a SIM socket to stay connected on the cloud for easier control, reporting, management, and Intelligence. In addition, two external DB9 COM ports with RS232/422/425 options allow for automated control with four additional COM ports via internal pin headers to be routed to custom back panel for maximum connectivity.
