Advantech Embedded IoT Gateway UBC-221 with Intel Quark SoC x 1000

Advantech (2395.TW), a global leader in embedded computing and IoT technology, is glad to announce the launch of UBC-221 IoT Gateway. UBC-221 IoT gateway solution is powered by the Intel Quark SoC x1000 processor and designed as a compact size, high capability, multi-connectivity gateway. UBC-221 is suitable for IoT or automation control applications such as smart city parking, security and surveillance as well as industrial control.

● Small and Multi-Connectivity for IoT Requirements

Powered by the Intel Quark SoC x1000 processor, UBC-221 is optimized specifically for IoT development. Features include: 1 x UART, 2 x GPI, 2 x GPO, 2 x 10/100 Ethernet (one supports Power Over Ethernet (PoE)), 1 x USB, 1 x MiniPCIe, 1 x SD and 1 x 12V DC input. UBC-221 also supports wireless connection such as Wi-Fi, 3G/4G, Bluetooth, and ZigBee through onboard MiniPCIe expansion. Designed with abundant I/O, UBC-221 acts as a communication bridge connecting sensors and passing raw data through the network to the cloud server for further processing. UBC-221 is fanless and low power with a maximum power consumption of under 2.8 W. For mounting flexibility, UBC-221 supports VESA, DIN rail and wall mounting, making it easy to deploy multiple IoT gateway devices.

● Yocto Linux OS and WISE-Cloud IoT Software Support

Advantech provides a standard Yocto Linux board support package (BSP) and pre-packaged image to help software developers create custom software for UBC-221, or to evaluate and test their application before release. In addition, Intel Quark supports a web server package that developers can use to build a web server so users can remotely access UBC-221 through a web browser. For user who wants to have advanced remote access features, UBC-221 comes bundled with Advantech’s WISE-Cloud service software. With WISE-Cloud’s intuitive interface, users can monitor and manage large numbers of devices anytime and anywhere.

● 2.5 SBC with Intel Quark SoC x1000 is Also Available

For customers with existing system designs, Advantech also offers RSB-3850—an Intel Quark SoC x1000 2.5” SBC with identical I/O functions. Following the standard Pico-ITX form factor, RSB-3850 can easily integrate additional system peripherals and fit it into any type of chassis design.
