Introduction

POC-451VTC is an ultra-compact in-vehicle computer with E-Mark certificate for in-vehicle applications, such as a mobile gateway, mobile surveillance and passenger information system. Leveraging the Intel® Elkhart Lake Atom® x6425E CPU, it delivers 1.8x the CPU and 2x the GPU performance improvement when compared to the previous generationn, POC-351VTC.

POC-451VTC provides multiple M.2 and mPCIe slots to install 4G/5G, WiFi5/6, CAN bus, and edge TPU modules for modern in-vehicle applications. It can therefore extend WiFi and broadband wireless communications as well as provide AI inference functionality inside a compact footprint. To cope with the high-performance modules, POC-451VTC has a dedicated conduction-cooled heat spreader to dissipate the heat generated by M.2/mPCIe modules to maintain optimal system performance in high-temperature environments.

Connectivity-wise, POC-451VTC offers three 2.5GBASE-T Ethernet ports with PoE+ capability for powering PoE PD devices, such as IP and GigE cameras. The ports are backward-compatible with 1000/100 Mbps Ethernet to work with most existing Ethernet devices. The system also provides isolated DIO for sensor/ actuator control and 8V-35V wide range DC input with ignition power control for in-vehicle deployment.

With a significant performance boost, 2.5G PoE+ ports, superior thermal reliability for communication and inference, POC-451VTC is an AI-capable, mobile gateway solution that opens the door to more possibilities for in-vehicle applications.
