Crystal Group RE1529 Rugged Embedded computer

Crystal Group is expanding its Rugged Embedded (RE) product line with the RE1529 Rugged Embedded computer.

The configurable RE1529 is engineered with the latest commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies, including Intel chipsets and processors, stabilised in a compact, rugged enclosure made from carbon fibre composites and billet-milled, strain-hardened aluminium, to provide robust compute power over a long operational life in extreme environments.

Manufactured with lightweight composites and delivered with Xeon D multicore processors, the product offers up to 128 GB of ECC DDR4 RAM, nine internal 7/9 mm SATA solid-state drive (SSD) bays, and flexible I/O in a rugged package measuring 15.24 x 39.12 x 24.38 cm and weighing 3.4 kg. It provides a flexible server-class architecture that also accommodates customers’ specific I/O and third-party card requirements.

The product is designed and tested for SWaP-sensitive applications including airborne and transit case use with a minimal footprint and wide-range voltage inputs. The system is claimed to be virtually maintenance-free, with high performance in harsh conditions including temperature extremes, high shock and vibration, high humidity, high altitudes and dust.
