ADL Embedded Solutions Joins PC/104 Consortium As Executive Level Member

SAN DIEGO - Feb. 24, 2014 - PRLog -- February 24, 2014 - ADL Embedded Solutions, a leading provider of customizable, high-performance embedded solutions for demanding thermal and rugged environments joins PC/104 Consortium as Executive Level Member. The PC/104 Consortium was established in February 1992 by 12 companies with a common vision of adapting desktop computer technology for embedded applications. This consortium has had a tremendous, positive effect on the embedded computer marketplace. The initial release of the PC/104 specification in March of 1992 was an open design offering the power and flexibility of an IBM compatible personal computer in a size ideally suited for embedding. Simple and elegant in design, small but rugged in performance, PC/104 technology bridged the successes of the past with the promises of future innovations.

As a technical organization the PC/104 Consortium creates, maintains and distributes specifications supporting the PC/104 form factor. The specifications include PC/104, PC/104-Plus, PCI-104, EBX and EPIC. The PC/104 Consortium continues to review new specifications through there Adopt-A-Spec (http://www.pc104.org/adoptaspec.php) process in order to ensure they are adopting new technologies in support of existing platforms.

ADL Embedded Solutions has been a leader in the PC/104 embedded space for a number of years now.  In particular, our high performance SBCs based on 2^nd and 4^th generation Intel Core processors are unparalleled in the industry.  We’ve also made significant strides to broaden our portfolio of low power Atom SBCs, long-life PSUs, and systems.  Most of this success is derived from the PC/104 form factor and its ability to change as technologies have evolved, thus allowing us to continue to provide cutting-edge solutions for our customers.  We’re very pleased to be joining the PC/104 Consortium board of directors to take a more active role in maintaining and promoting not only our success, but that of our PC/104 Consortium members.”    according to Peter Engels, President and CEO of ADL Embedded Solutions.

“ADL Embedded Solutions has been firmly committed to the embedded market space since 1994. I am delighted to have them join the Consortium at the Executive level, as their involvement will help shape the future of the Consortium moving forward.” said PC/104 Consortium Executive Director, Jeff Milde.
