congatec backs Intel’s IoT move
congatec has certified its conga-QA3 Qseven module that uses the Intel Atom processor E3800 family for the Intel Gateway Solutions for linking sensor networks in IoT designs.
The validated software package from Intel, Wind River and McAfee to provide new services based on the connection of devices with each other and the cloud. The bundle includes McAfee Embedded Control which, among other things, includes dynamic whitelisting to prevent the execution of unapproved code while at the same time allowing policy-based updates.
The combination of reliable hardware and a consistent software package, starting with the firmware and operating system, forms a ‘root of trust’ for IoT applications. By bundling a baseboard that incorporates a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip, congatec helps ensure that applications can be operated with maximum data security.
"The combination of an Intel Atom processor, pre-validated software, and congatec hardware makes it possible to equip new connected applications in transportation, building automation, energy and medical segments with a minimum effort with added data security," said Gerhard Edi, CEO at congatec.
The 70 mm x 70 mm Qseven conga-QA3 module from congatec using processors from the Intel Atom E3800 product family, bundled with the MB-Q7-2 baseboard from TQ-Systems, together provide an ultra-compact hardware kit. Use of these Intel Atom processors yields a very economical and extremely powerful embedded PC with integrated Gen 7 graphics technology for graphics-intensive applications in the low-power segment. The compact baseboard design (measuring just 100 mm x 100 mm x 23 mm), plus the numerous interfaces and functions, allow rapid and inexpensive implementation of powerful, yet passively cooled embedded systems such as Box PCs as well as customized solutions.
The combination of the conga-QA3 with the validated solution stack of the Intel Gateway Solutions for IoT provides a pre-integrated and open platform to bring secure IoT solutions to market quickly.
