OVERVIEW

The LBC-GX500 is a highly-integrated, single board computer (SBC) designed for machine-to-machine connectivity with a wide variety of wired and wireless options.

It provides an open and powerful platform for management of geographically distributed machinery using GSM/GPRS/CDMA/802.11/ZigBee wireless communications. Also a 10/100 Ethernet port, four USB 2.0 and two USB 1.1 ports, four RS-232 COM channels, two RS-232/422/485 COM channels, plus an optional dial-up POTS modem. This allows the LBC-GX500 to be a gateway, hub, or protocol converter.

The board will operate from -40°C to 85°C for rugged applications requiring an embedded PC and its associated connectivity options. The LBC-GX500 supports even more I/O expansion with video with CRT/flat panel/ LVDS interfaces, 48 digital I/O lines, AC97 audio, and the PC/104 and PC/104-Plus connectors.

The LBC-GX500 is powered by an AMD Geode x86 processor with support for MMX® and 3DNow!TM technology extensions. Its x86 PC software compatibility assures a wide range of tools to aid in your applications program development and checkout. It has extremely low power dissipation which allows fanless operation.
