ADLINK has introduced the Express VR7, a COM Express Basic size Type 7 computer-on-module that is powered by the eight-core AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 processor. The module features two 10GbE interfaces, fourteen PCIe Gen 4 lanes, and optional support for an “extreme temperature range” between -40°C and 85°C.
The ADLINK Express VR7 supports up to 64GB dual-channel DDR5 SO-DIMM memory (ECC/non-ECC). It is designed for headless embedded applications such as edge networking equipment, 5G infrastructure at the edge, video storage analytics, intelligent surveillance, industrial automation and control, and rugged edge servers.
