Premio BCO-500 Intel Core Ultra, N-Series and Rockchip Fanless Embedded PCs

Choosing a small fanless computer often means choosing a processor first, whether that is a low-power Intel N-series chip, a Core Ultra with an NPU or an Arm processor running Android. The Premio BCO-500 series keeps one compact, finned aluminium design across all three, so a project can move between processors without changing its mounting or cabling approach. The range was designed by C&T Solution, which became Premio Taiwan in January 2026.

Every BCO-500 model is a semi-rugged fanless embedded PC with two DB9 serial ports, a locking DC input, six antenna holes for optional wireless, and wall and VESA mounting with a DIN-rail kit optional. The Intel models use one DDR5 SO-DIMM and M.2 storage, support Windows 11 and Linux, and carry TPM 2.0. Each is designed to comply with MIL-STD-810H for shock and vibration, and every model carries CE, FCC Class A and UKCA marks with UL listing.

The BCO-500-2L-N97 and BCO-500-2L-N305 use Alder Lake-N processors (a four-core N97 or an eight-core Core i3-N305) with two 2.5GbE ports, four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, DisplayPort and HDMI, and a 12 to 36 V DC input. The BCO-500-MTL-125U and BCO-500-MTL-155U use Core Ultra 5 and Core Ultra 7 Meteor Lake processors with an Intel NPU, DDR5 5600 up to 48 GB, three 2.5GbE ports, USB-C, two DisplayPort outputs and optional 4G or 5G, rated from -20 °C to 60 °C. The BCO-500-RK3568J uses a quad-core Rockchip Arm processor with 4 GB memory, 64 GB eMMC, dual GbE, CAN and Android 13, Debian or Ubuntu, rated from -40 °C to 70 °C.

In practice the BCO-500 series suits digital signage, factory automation, data collection, machine vision on the Core Ultra models and CAN-connected equipment on the Rockchip model. Temperature ratings follow the processor, from -10 °C to 45 °C on the i3-N305 up to -40 °C to 70 °C on the RK3568J, so the model choice also sets the site envelope. We help match the processor to the workload and the temperature range to the site. Premio designs and builds in Greater Los Angeles, where it has worked since 1989, with research and engineering in Taipei, an IEC 62443-4-1 certified development process and ISO 9001 manufacturing quality.
