Vehicle integration

Built for vehicles, not adapted for them.

Vehicle-specific computing platforms with the right power input, the right thermal design and the right certifications.

Power and ignition
12V / 24V
Vehicle DC ready

9-36V wide-range DC input runs from any standard vehicle electrical system. Ignition sense pin triggers controlled startup and shutdown – configurable delay so the PC stays powered through brief engine restarts.
