The FORTEC Group has launched the SBCPRO-X51, a 3.5” SBC engineered at its branch in Germany to deliver powerful, efficient computing in demanding industrial and IoT environments. Now available through FORTEC United Kingdom, the platform provides new flexibility and performance to embedded system design.
At the heart of the SBC is the Intel Atom x7211RE “Amston Lake-N” processor, delivering reliable performance with low power consumption – ideal for fanless and space-constrained designs. What sets this board apart is its modular approach: built with M.2 expansion slots, it allows various configuration options to suit diverse application needs.
One such option is the innovative USB-C M.2 module, which enables engineers to connect a display, touch interface and power – utilising just a single USB-C cable. This simplifies integration and lowers wiring complexity and mechanical design effort. A V-by-One M.2 module is available for large-format display applications, allowing seamless 4K output ideal for advanced HMI systems and control interfaces.
Designed for harsh environments, the SBCPRO-X51 supports continuous 24/7 operation and has been tested across a wide operating temperature range of -20C to +80C. Network connectivity is robust, with dual 2.5GbE Ethernet ports for high-speed communication and Wi-Fi support for wireless deployment scenarios. The platform is also fully compatible with Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC, providing long-term software stability and security for embedded deployments.
In addition to the board-level solution, the company also offers the BPCPRO-X51, a pre-integrated Box PC variant that produces the same performance in a compact enclosure – ideal for customers seeking a ready-to-deploy system.
