RE1401 NUC platform is a highly configurable, fan cooled, ultra-small form factor system designed around Intel’s 5th or 6th Generation Core i5/i7 CPU options.
Crystal Group, which specialises in the manufacture of rugged commercial-off- the-shelf (COTS) custom-developed computers, displays, switches, and storage devices, has recently announced the introduction of the RE1401 NUC (Next Unit of Computing), an extremely compact, high performance rugged embedded computer appropriate for operational deployment in harsh environments.
The RE1401 NUC provides current leading edge computational architecture in a small rugged package. This platform brings desktop performance to a compact device size with the flexibility to scale up based on productivity needs for a wide range of applications.
Measuring 16cm x 4.83cm x 12.20cm and weighing only 0.907 kilograms, the RE1401 NUC is small enough for placement in size-constrained areas and rugged enough for the harshest environments including shock and vibration. It is ideal for military and industrial installations requiring compute processing and data collection.
With a rugged all-aluminium compact chassis footprint, the RE1401 NUC is based on Intel’s NUC motherboard form factors 5th or 6th generation i5/i7 workstation. The RE1401 NUC features a single removable SSD and single fixed SSD with a removable SD card slot. The system utilises standard USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, a 3.5mm headset jack, one or two mini-Display ports and HDMI 2.0 or mini HDMI. Mounting alternatives include table-top and tray options. The RE1401 NUC is compatible with any of six operating systems – Windows 7/8.1/10, Server 2012 R2, Ubuntu, Fedora, or Open SUS.
The RE1401 NUC is optimised for environments where a traditional desktop is not ideal due to SWaP and allows for maximum integration flexibility. The unit’s low profile design is easy to use for transportation, storage and deployment, making it a valuable choice for many harsh environment applications.
