• Low-power embedded designs
• Long-term availability guarantee*
• Customisable design and functionality

Fanless industrial panel PC solutions

Fanless industrial panel PC solutions (Panel-PIPs, or Panel PC) are specifically designed and produced for rugged and sensitive environments, such as military, maritime and food industry applications, as well as for any industrial application where quality is a major issue.

As with all other MPL products, the Panel-PIPs come without a fan or air vents, are very flexible, and are expandable for all customer needs and requirements. Features include:

• 6in, 12in, 15in, 17in and 19in, as well as widescreen solutions
• Full stainless-steel and aluminium housings
• Up to IP65 / NEMA 4 protected versions (all around)
• Touch option for all versions
• Wide range of CPU boards (up to Core i7)

Industrial-grade COTS network systems

MPL provides solutions for IP-based industrial-grade networking (COTS network systems) with devices such as firewalls, routers, switches and media converters. As with all other MPL products, our networks are specifically designed to work also in harsh environments such as extreme temperature, humidity and vibration.

Low power consumption, high reliability and long-term availability are the corner stones of our COTS network systems, and make them ideal for military and aerospace application environments. Features include:

• Easy to integrate in your application
• Robust and compact
• Various housings option
• Temperature range from -40°C up to 85°C
• Long-term availability guarantee*
• Customised design and functionality

Rugged Embedded Open Frame CPU boards

To allow to install the rugged embedded CPU board into custom or existing enclosures we designed an Open Frame solution with a cooling concept.

• Fanless solutions
• Intel architecture from single Core Atom up to Xeon CPU
• Extended temperature range available
• Long-term availability guarantee

Rugged Embedded Xeon Server

MXCS – high performance, low power and highly integrated rugged Embedded Server, built in a special designed aluminium or MIL IP67 housing with Intel Xeon CPU (up to 16 cores).

• Up to 128MB DDR4 memory
• Robust, industrial products
• Extended temperature available
• Long-term availability guarantee
