Axiomtek has proposed its CAPA558, a customized 3.5-inch SBC powered by the Intel® Core™ i3-1115G4E processor. It offers rich I/O connectivity and two M.2 slots for expansions. The M.2 Key E slot supports modules for Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection, while the M.2 Key M supports SSD storage. The embedded board is designed with a USB power switch to remotely reboot the connected device.
Customers can also benefit from the LAN switch function to use the system as a router or hub. With two LAN ports, the platform can function as an internet hub, when one port is connected to the hospital intranet, another port provides the flexibility of connectivity to a second device. In addition, the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) allows the system and the connected devices via HDMI to be controlled with one remote control.
