The small profile combined with the performance of the Condor allows it to be incorporated into applications that were previously unachievable with an off-the-shelf embedded computer able to run x86 versions of Windows and Linux. Here are some examples of the types of applications supported by the power of Condor’s rich performance and I/O features: The first application is an IoT Edge Concentrator that takes advantage of the Core CPU processing power of the Condor. Video and data are collected via the Ethernet and USB 3.0 ports. The data is pre-processed via the CPU and GPU to reduce the amount of data being sent to the cloud data storage. The system makes use of Condor’s Mini PCIe sockets for cellular communications and Wi-Fi with Bluetooth. Condor provides these types of applications with a compact and highly-integrated processing platform with a variety of Input and Output options. The next example is for unmanned heavy equipment. This uses the Condor’s processing power for vision and autonomous navigation. Additional sensor data is collected and processed, then stored or transmitted for retrieval. The wide variety of Condor’s on-board I/O devices allows easy connection to the vehicle’s sensor packages. Vibration, dust, and extreme heat and cold are typical environments for this application. Lastly is an application for advanced signal processing. The ability to move and process large volumes of data in a smaller package is crucial for these programs. The Intel dual-core CPU coupled with the Gigabit Ethernet ports is ideal for this purpose. The wide input on-board power supply accepts 8 to 30 VDC input to accommodate both mobile 12 and 24 V systems without damage. Additionally, protection is provided for reverse-voltage, damaging transient voltages, over voltage, and RF intrusion. All of these applications share some common environmental traits: high vibration, dust, and extreme heat or cold. The rugged Condor also meets MIL-STD-202G specifications for shock and vibration. Latching SATA, Ethernet, power, and main I/O connectors provide additional ruggedization for use in harsh environments. There are extended temperature versions of the Condor which allow it to operate in harsh environments from -40° to +85°C.
