Feb. 9, 2010 - PRLog -- (Taipei, Taiwan – February 10th, 2010) Lanner Electronics, a premier manufacturer of fanless embedded computers, today announced the new LEC-7020, an Intel Atom based industrial computer with 3G, GPS and WiFi capabilities.  This small form factor computer has a VGA, COM, DIO, 4 USB ports, and an optional LVDS output.  The LEC-7020 also boasts a new simplified design allowing quick component installation.

With an onboard SIM card socket and the mini PCIe attached to a 3G/GPS minicard module, the LEC-7020 can send GPS signals and communicate via a 3G modem.  Internet is enabled through 2 GbE ports and optional WiFi module.

To drive digital content the LEC-7020 has an integrated Intel GMA 950 graphics engine and features a VGA port and an optional LVDS port.  The addition of a LVDS port allows for direct computer to panel connection and reduces deployment costs for system integrators.

The LEC-7020 is elegantly designed for rapid hardware installation.  The 4 screws at the bottom of the chassis double as base pads.  After removing the 2 side screws and the base pads, the platform opens on a hinge, allowing easy access to the motherboard.

Built around the 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 and 945GSE chipset, the LEC-7020 boasts reasonable performance for mainstream digital signage applications. Internally this machine holds a 2.5” SATA HDD, and a CompactFlash Socket and supports Windows XP 32-bit, XPe, and Linux kernel 2.6.16 and above.  The system supports up to 2GB of memory through a single SODIMM socket.

The LEC-7020 is a SFF computer that measures only 42 mm in height. Despite its small size, the LEC-7020 offers 4 USB 2.0 ports, a serial port, a DIO port and audio in/out jacks.
