The JetBox 8180 is designed for industrial communication network applications, such as distributing video for field site monitoring, says Korenix. Similar devices include the recent JetBox 8150, which runs on a Via Eden CPU.

The new JetBox 8180 comes optionally preinstalled with Windows XP Embedded on a CompactFlash card or SATA drive, but also supports Windows CE and Windows XP Professional as well as Linux, says the company.

The JetBox 8180 is equipped with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 and 1GB DDR2 RAM, says Korenix. A CompactFlash slot and a SATA slot are available, along with an optional 2.5-inch hard disk drive (HDD), says the company.

Designed for remote wireless connectivity, the computer ships with both a Mini PCI Express (Mini-PCIe) slot and a SIM-card slot. The JetBox 8180 provides a gigabit Ethernet port, a RS232/422/485 serial port, a PS/2 port, and four USB 2.0 ports, says the company.

A DVI port is offered for video, and dual-display capability, presumably via an additional VGA port, is also said to be available as an option. Additional features are said to include headphone, mic, and line-in audio connectors, plus a watchdog timer and status LEDs.

Constructed for fanless operation, the DIN rail-mount computer provides IP32 protection and features an aluminum heat-sink frame housing for heat dispersion, says the company. Shock resistance is said to be compliant withIEC60068-2-27 (50g peak acceleration), and vibration resistance is rated as IEC60068-2-6 (5g/10~150Hz/operating).

Equipped with a power supply that accepts DC input from 12~24 Volts, the computer is said to provide 1.65A maximum (0.86A typical) power consumption with DC 19V input.
