Think Long-Term – Think MPL
The Extreme Rugged Computer Solution With 8th & 9th Generation Intel CPU
With the PIP40, MPL presents the newest fanless embedded computer family with the 8th. generation Intel processors. Decades of experience (since 1985) in developing and producing extremely robust embedded solutions have made the PIP40 Family possible. In the near future the 9th. CPU generation from Intel can also be used on the PIP40 platform.
Complete Rugged Fanless Computer Solution with Intel 9th Generation CPUs
Within this rugged 9th Generation Computer Solution, MPL's engineering team focused attention on the size of the PCB. The board size has been optimized and reduced to 218mm x 154mm x 33mm.
Swap-C Mission Control Computer with 1553, ARINC 429, and CAN
The Mission Control Computer is the perfect compact solution for bus systems, instruments and measurements systems of defense applications.
Rugged Conductive Cooled GPGPU Computer with 768-CUDA Cores
MPL AG is more or less the inventor of fanless computers. They have been providing fanless conductive cooled solutions for over 20 years. Over the years, MPL's unique cooling method has been duplicated by many computer manufacturers. However, those solutions are different to the MPL solution.
Boxed Rugged 5-Port and 8-Port Managed Swiss-Made Gigabit Switch
MPL enhances its Network Switch product range with a 5-port and 8-port managed switch with compact enclosure. The new versatile 5-port and 8-port MAGBES consists of various models and can be equipped with RJ45, M12, fibre connectors, or even lockable headers.
New Unique Xeon Server for Use in Extreme Temperature Ranges
The new conductive cooled Xeon Server from MPL allows the use of a powerful server in very demanding environments. The server is installed and available in a 19in chassis. The concept offers considerably more computing power, more memory capacity, more flexibility and a more extreme temperature range than was customary up to now.
Rugged Vision Computer with Integrated PoE and UPS for Severe Environments
MPL, a long-term manufacturer of rugged Embedded Systems, created a fanless Vision Server that can be used in severe environments. The solution integrates a rugged UPS and up to eight GigE ports on RJ45 or M12, four being available with PoE.
Rugged Conductive Cooled Xeon Server Solution with up to 128GB ECC DDR4
If you are looking for a Xeon Server that is 'Rugged by Design', fanless, and meets the various standards needed for applications in transportation, railway, maritime, or defence, then the MXCS from MPL is the solution you need to take a closer look.
Compact rugged Open Frame GigE Firewall and VPN Router
MPL AG expands the industrial Ethernet product range with a new rugged Gigabit Firewall and VPN Router that is an ideal solution for new or existing applications where space is limited.
