Arbor Solution announces the expansion of its ELIT series with the addition of the ELIT-2240, a 19” 1U industrial grade rackmount box PC. Based on Intel Core i5/i3 Celeron and Pentium processors, the ELIT-2240 supports dual DDR3 sockets for up to 16GB RAM for exceptional performance and efficiency. The new model was developed for the digital signage market, broadcast and data communications, particularly for Passenger Information Systems (PIS).
“PIS, a fast-growing segment of public transportation, require a reliable backbone to operate efficiently,” stated Brian Yurkiw, Arbor Solution vice president. “By adopting the ELIT-2240 as the core of its central control unit, users can control and transmit real-time information among the central control unit, the sub-station control units and the display terminals, providing passengers dynamic and real-time information. This includes notices for passengers, time of departure and arrival, station announcements and other multimedia information.”
The ELIT-2240 displaces 1U (1.75” height) of space in standard server racks, which can be mounted. The model supports two independent HDMI ports for dual display, one VGA internal pin header, as well as four gigabit RJ-45 LAN ports, six USB 2.0 ports and two serial ports. Other features include one PCI Express x16 expansion slot for optional wireless communication modules such as Wi-Fi or 3G, giving administrators the flexibility to add the exact functionality they need.
