Embedded Single Board Computers SBCs
Tekdis offers a wide selection of all form factors of embedded single board computers (SBCs) including CPU and IO options to suit various applications, ranging from the smallest PICO to ATX, built with IO connectors direct to the PCB. COM Express, SMARC and Q7 sized System on Modules (SOMs) are designed to plug into a carrier board via a high-density connector and the IO is then provided from the carrier board. PICMG are suitable for backplane-based designs in rack systems. We have the experience and know how to select the proper storage, and communication modules (LTE, WLAN) and can license/image with operating systems prior to shipping. Contact our team today to find out the best solution and pricing.

Embedded Single Board Computers (SBCs)
Available in a range of form factors with CPU and IO options, embedded single board computers (SCBs) are useful for many applications. Options include PICO, ATX, COM Express, SMARC, Q7-sized systems on modules, and more.
Plug COM Express, SMARC, and Q7-sized systems on modules into a carrier board with the high-density connector and the board will provide the IO. Also, use the PCMG for backplane-based designs in rack systems.
Types of CPU
ARM-Based
Featuring fewer transistors, ARM-based CPUs are low-cost, consume less power, and create less heat. Because of these features, they are lightweight, portable, and great for battery-powered devices. Tekdis offers ARM-based modules and single-board computers that support both Linux and Android OS.
AMD/Nvidia
For complex graphic applications like gaming and digital signage, AMD offers high-performing GPU solutions. Nvidia is also a leading supplier of x86 CPUs and chipsets for robotics, advanced driver advisory systems, license plate recognition technology, and intelligent machines.
Atom/Celeron/Pentium
Intel Atom processors are ideal for small and compact computing needs, including smartphones, tablets, and other internet-enabled mobile devices. For next-level performance, Celeron and Pentium are great alternatives. They feature improved graphics but are still economical.
i3/i5/i7
i3 processors have two cores and perform specific functions for targeted applications. Core i5 processors have four to six cores and are mid-tier processors. Core i7 has as many as eight cores and features the highest specs. The higher the number of cores, the higher the clock speed, which improves overall performance. i5 and i7 are used for more extensive processing, decoding, and graphics performance. While i3 and i5 require a Windows IOT Value license, i7 requires a high-end license.
Xeon
Xeon processors are some of the highest quality in the industry. They have the most cores and the highest clock speeds as a result. This Intel brand of x86 microprocessor supports error-checking and correcting memory, perfect for non-consumer workstations, servers, and embedded applications.
Brands Used for Embedded PCS/Computers
Tekdis offers embedded computing boards from two manufacturers: Axiomtek and IEI Technology. These two manufacturers are some of the most respected in Taiwan.
Axiomtek
Axiomtek was developed in 1990. Today, their innovative designs are recognised all over the world. For reliable, state-of-the-art computing solutions, there is no better supplier.

Features of Embedded PCS/Computers
Fanless
In an industrial setting where excessive dust and dirt circulate through the air, fanless PCs are essential. Instead of using cooling fans, heat is conducted through the case or through the airflow over the machine. This protects the machine from dust, prolonging its life, and it also makes for silent operation. Tekdis has a growing offering of fanless options that are great for digital signage, industrial automation, mobile computing, and medical applications.
Android Powered
Android is a popular operating system for mobile phones and tablets. Android also features in the panel PC and embedded computing market as a secure and reliable operating system. Tekdis offers a range of embedded boards, embedded computers and panel PCs based on ARM based CPUs running Android OS.
