HUNTSVILLE, Ala., 27 March 2015. GE Intelligent Platforms in Huntsville, Ala., is introducing the bCOM6-L1700 rugged Type 6 COM Express embedded computing module for aerospace, defense, heavy industry, energy exploration, and transportation applications.

The board has R-Series System-on-Chip (SoC) from AMD for throughput and graphics capabilities. The bCOM6-L1700 itself is available in two performance-per-Watt variations, and has as much as 16 gigabytes of soldered memory.

Its inherently rugged design makes the bCOM-6-L1700 suitable for deployment in harsh environments subject to extremes of temperature, vibration, and shock. Extended mechanical construction protects the module, and has optional conformal coating resistance to moisture, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes.
