AAEON extends embedded box PC line with the BOXER-6451-ADP

AAEON, a provider of embedded solutions, has expanded its line of fanless embedded box PCs powered by 12th Generation Intel Core/Celeron processors (formerly Alder Lake-P U15) with the release of the BOXER-6451-ADP.

Said to have the smallest chassis of AAEON’s trifecta of new box PCs utilising the latest Intel technology, the BOXER-6451-ADP offers 10 cores and 12 threads of processing power in a compact 7.48" x 4.37" x 2.5" (190mm x 111mm x 63.5mm) model and is intended for smart kiosks and charging stations.

Adding to the BOXER-6451-ADP’s suitability when it comes to smaller deployment spaces is its new heat dissipation framework, which replaces the tubular heat pipe typically used to conduct heat from a PC’s CPU to its heatsink with a flattened pipe to both increase its conduction area and accelerate heat transfer. This enables the system to maintain thermal regulation during periods of high workloads.

Despite its small dimensions, it contains a dense, high-speed I/O featuring three USB 3.2 ports running at 10Gbps, one 2.5 GbE LAN port, and four COM ports with RS-232/422/485 support. Combined with the latest Intel technologies such as Intel IPU 6.0 and Intel DL Boost, the BOXER-6451-ADP is suitable for solutions requiring high-speed peripheral device connectivity, such as AMR.

Finally, the BOXER-6451-ADP offers an upgrade compared to its BOXER-6400 series predecessors when it comes to expansion. 5G, Wi-Fi, and NVMe are supported via M.2 E, B, and M Keys, which AAEON believes will provide more flexible deployment options for industrial applications, such as AI-IoT gateway controllers and robotic arms.
