Thanks to the LTE interface, the systems now offer all the options for IoT connection and remote management functions. Target applications of the systems are to be found anywhere where IoT connected control computers and IoT gateways based on highly cost-efficient x86 technology are required. In the infotainment and digital signage markets application fields are for example in trains, buses, airports and hotels.

In the HMI segment applications can be found in airplane and vehicle cockpits or in GUIs for professional fitness devices or pick & place displays in logistics environments. Vending, jukebox and gaming machines are further examples. In the retail segment they are used in card readers, cash systems or self-service terminals.

Further deployment fields are control computers for home automation as well as a wide range of access control systems. Last but not least, the vast range of applications in industrial control and medical applications are part of the systems' repertoire of applications.

The extensive range of interfaces, including numerous legacy I/Os, for example LPT or serial RS-232, RS-485 configurations makes the systems ideal for connecting existing equipment to new IoT applications. This ensures that OEMs and companies can further secure their investments.

The fanless EBOX-333x/ 336x Box-PC series can be obtained with two different DM&P Vortex86 processors: the ultra-low power Vortex86DX2 SoC processor with 933 MHz and the more powerful Vortex86DX3 SoC processor with 1.0 GHz. All variants support 1 or 2 GB DDR2 or DDR3 RAM as well as PXE diskless boot. Standard interface options are built in majority on different amounts of serial RS-232, RS-485, 4G LTE and CANbus interfaces as well as on one or two LAN ports for the network.

Beside these design choices, all systems offer 3x USB, optional WiFi dongle support, SATA, SD and SDHC support. The cross bar switch of the Vortex86DX2 SoC processor offers additional options including OEM motion control implementations. The EBOX-333x/ 336x box PC series is fully compatible with the desktop series of Microsoft Windows and Linux, and supports the Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7 and Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7 series.
