DFI has launched AL05P – a 2.5-inch Pico-ITX SBC that offers PoE and is powered by an Intel Atom® Processor E3900 Series.
AL05P is not the first Intel Apollo Lake Pico-ITX board to appear in the market, but it is amongst the first to come with a PoE support (Power-over-Ethernet). The Linux-ready AL05P board is equipped with 4GB RAM, up to 64GB eMMC, a mini DisplayPort output, two USB 3.1, one GbE port with isolated PoE, and one mini PCIe for seamless and stable operations. The board also has an extended temperature range of -20 to 70°C that seems to be absent in many of the small SBCs with PoE.
Highlights:
- Intel® Pentium®/Celeron®/Intel Atom® Processor E3900
- Support LPDDR4 memory down up to 4GB
- Rich I/O: 1 LAN, 1 COM, 2 USB 3.0, 2 USB 2.0
- Expansion and Storage: 1 Mini PCIe, 1 SMBus, 1 eMMC
