Forlinx Technology has launched the FCU1501, a robust, fanless industrial embedded computer and IoT gateway featuring the Rockchip RK3506J processor with a tri-core Cortex-A7 and a single Cortex-M0 core. This system is engineered for reliable data acquisition and protocol conversion in challenging environments.
The gateway is available in two versions (basic and extended), both similar in size but differing in interface density. Each includes up to 512MB DDR3 RAM, 8GB eMMC flash, dual Fast Ethernet, dual-band Wi-Fi & Bluetooth 5.0, and 4G LTE Cat 1 support. It is ideal for automation, rail transit, and smart manufacturing. The system operates within a broad industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and complies with Level 3 EMC standards.
