The VIA AMOS-3000: The Strong, Silent Type of Industrial PC
Designed to take industrial environments in its stride, the hand-sized VIA AMOS-3000 is the first Pico-ITX fanless embedded box computer
TAIPEI, Taiwan, Feb. 25 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- VIA Technologies, Inc., a
leading innovator of power efficient x86 processor platforms, today announced
the launch of VIA's first embedded box computer; the VIA AMOS-3000. Ideal for
a variety of embedded applications, the VIA AMOS-3000 is a robust,
custom-designed system based on the ultra compact and versatile VIA EPIA-P700
Pico-ITX board.
Inspired by classical Chinese architecture, the VIA AMOS-3000 chassis
combines heavy-duty steel, aluminum and copper in a unique heat fin design
that offers superb heat dissipation. Using only five mechanical pieces -- top
cover, bottom plate, front and rear I/O access plates and DOM module -- and
measuring only 13.5cm(w) x 4.5cm(h) x 13.1cm(d), the VIA AMOS-3000 is strong,
durable and heat efficient, yet tiny enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
The VIA AMOS-3000 can be installed easily using simple table, wall and VESA
mounting options.
The VIA AMOS-3000 is a complete system that uses no moving parts, making
it an excellent choice for mission-critical applications in harsh industrial
environments, while the full featured VIA EPIA Pico-ITX board is ideal for a
range of x86 applications including gaming, digital signage, industrial
automation and in-car entertainment, supporting both DVI-D and VGA outputs.
"We have drawn on the strength of our engineering expertise in developing
our boards and form factors and taken the step of developing our own
custom-designed systems. This has allowed us to produce some truly compelling
embedded system designs," said Daniel Wu, Vice President, VIA Embedded
Platform Division, VIA Technologies, Inc. "The VIA AMOS-3000 represents the
first of many diverse embedded system products based around our own exclusive
range of EPIA boards."
The VIA AMOS-3000 is based on a VIA EPIA-P700 Pico-ITX board, powered by
either a 1GHz VIA C7 processor or a 500MHz VIA Eden ULV processor, and
supports up to 1GB of DDR2 SO-DIMM system memory. It has a certified operating
temperature of -20 to 60 degrees C, vibration tolerance of up to 5Grms and a
shock tolerance of up to 50G.
VIA Technologies, Inc. is the foremost fabless supplier of power efficient
x86 processor platforms, innovating at the silicon, board and system level to
drive innovation in computing and communication. Headquartered in Taipei,
Taiwan, VIA's global network spans the US, Europe and Asia.
