San Diego, Ca. - - ICS Advent, the premier provider of business-critical applied computing solutions, has introduced Endeavor Plus SBC, a new family of single board computers extending computing architecture to new levels of enterprise and technical computing. The most advanced SBC in the industry, the Endeavor Plus features an i810e Intel AGP set with dual BGA packages supporting FSB up to 133 megahertz.
The Endeavor Plus is powerful, scalable and extends greater flexibility in system integration and is ideal for telecommunications infrastructures, industrial automation, enhanced services, machine control, broadcasting, convergence, IP telephony, call centers, medical, CPE and IVR applications.
"Weve designed the board to offer a highly integrated combination of key features," said Pam Miller Harris, director of product marketing, ICS Advent.
