Moxa UC-8100 small form factor wireless Linux computer

Moxa is rolling out a small form factor wireless Linux computer - the UC-8100 - specifically designed for large-scale, big data WAN computing solutions. The UC-8100 is built around an ARMv7 Cortex-A8 processor and comes with up to two RS422/485 serial ports alongside dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN ports. It also features a Mini PCIe socket that supports a cellular interface and other modules. These versatile communication capabilities let users efficiently adapt the UC-8100 to a wide variety of complex communication and processing solutions, useful both as a communications platform in large-scale distributed applications and as a reliable and secure gateway for data acquisition and in-the-field processing.

For distributed processing applications, management and maintenance are big challenges. UC-8100 computers combine high-performance RISC architectures with ample storage capacity, allowing users wide flexibility when developing new automation systems. Programmable LEDs allow integrators or end users to define unique event signalling, to aid when building troubleshooting tools into a system.

UC-8100 computers also come with strong protection from network attacks. Moxa has taken the powerful Trusted Platform Module (TPM) one step further and integrated a patented secure boot algorithm that is claimed to deliver strong protection against current methods of kernel corruption.
