The ARK-4180 is the most powerful yet cost effective PCI-104-based solution on the market with high vibration/shock resistance and wide temperature capability. The ARK-4180 with Intel Celeron M 1.0 GHz processor can operate in temperatures from -40~75° C providing higher processing performance than similar products on the market.

The ARK-4180 is developed from PCI-104 stackable modules that are designed and qualified for the most demanding of applications. The PCI-104 form factor allows modules to stack vertically together to provide a naturally rugged architecture. Each system is housed in a specially cast and milled solid aluminum block with thermal fins which help dissipate heat. Another unique feature is the specially designed fanless thermal solution with embedded heat pipes which allow wide temperature operation between -40 C ~ +75° C without active cooling. Special brackets on the aluminum enclosure itself allow additional enclosures to be stacked to add I/O and other functionality, making ARK-4180 the most flexible rugged solution on the market.

The ARK-4180 is an all in one compact embedded computer supporting 6 x USB 2.0 and 2 x RS-232 connectors, 10/100Base-T Ethernet LAN and VGA for versatile connectivity. ARK-4180 itself supports one PCI-104 connector for expansion, and by adding another enclosure layer, two more PCI-104 modules can be stacked. The ARK-4180 is targeted at transportation and military applications which crucially depend on reliable data acquisition, along with resistance to extreme temperature fluctuation, shock and vibration-everything that ARK-4180 can handle.
