San Jose, California – July 19, 2016 – ADLINK Technology, a leading provider of building blocks and Application-Ready Intelligent Platforms (ARIPs) for the Industrial Internet of Things (IoT), announced the release of its new Matrix MXE-5500 Series, featuring 6th generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 processors, and delivering outstanding performance with robust construction, rich I/O, and easy device access, all in a compact package. The MXE-5500 Series sustains reliable performance at -20°C to 70°C*, shock up to 100G, and vibration up to 5 Grms, making it an optimal solution for ITS, surveillance, and industrial and logistic automation applications. Moreover, AFM (Adaptive Function Module) capability offers fast application-specific access for medium volume operations, reducing development time by up to 50%.
Powerful, yet Compact
ADLINK’s MXE-5500 Series, equipped with 6th generation Intel® Core™ i7-6820EQ/i5-6440EQ/i3-6100E processors, boosts computing power by up to 30% over previous generation CPUs, delivers 30% faster graphics performance, and provides accelerated HW media codecs to support Ultra HD 4K display. Dual-channel DDR4 2133 MHz SO-DIMM sockets support up to 32 GB of memory, and the Series’ compact footprint is perfect for deployment in limited-space environments such as in-vehicle infotainment and CCTV applications.
Easy Maintenance, Easy Management
ADLINK’s MXE-5500 Series simplifies ownership tasking such as installation and maintenance with single-side access I/O featuring 2x DisplayPort + DVI-I, 4x GbE, 6x COM, 4x USB 3.0+4x USB 2.0, and 8x isolated DI/O. Storage options are also extremely flexible with 2x 2.5“ hot-swappable SATA III, 1x M.2 2280, and 1x CFast w/ RAID support, easing storage maintenance burdens. ADLINK’s built-in SEMA® (Smart Embedded Management Agent) utility provides an intuitive GUI and easy-to-use programming library for enhanced system management. The MXE-5500 kicks up flexibility with maximum reliability for storage utilization and function expansion.
Scalable & Fast Customization Speeds Time-to-Market
Meeting the booming needs of mission-critical applications, systems must maximize tasking with the utmost dependability, all in a timely manner. In addition to abundant computing power, reliability and ruggedness are also critical requirements for harsh operating environments. ADLINK’s MXE-5500 embodies uniquely adaptive function module fulfilment for operations requiring fast customization, meeting demands for modular design with application-oriented I/O and domain-specific power supply. Reusable cross-generation compatibility and cross-platform (Intel® Atom™ /Intel® Core™ processor) functionality for scalability together simplify development challenges, thereby reducing time-to-market and TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).
Rugged Design & Reliability
The ADLINK MXE-5500 Series’ proven ruggedized construction improves on market standards with operating shock tolerance up to 100 G, withstanding vibration up to 5 Grms and offering extended operating temperatures of -20°C to 70°C*
*Extended Temperature Option: Optional extension of operating temperature for Intel® Core™ i7 processor-equipped MXE-5501 to -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F) and for Intel® Core™ i5/i3 processor-equipped MXE-5502/5503 to -20°C to 70°C (-4°F to 158°F)
