DFI EC90A-GH-R1606G-EN-DIO-LTE AMD Ryzen Embedded R1606G Ultra-Compact Industrial PC with 4G LTE and DIO

Remote pumps, kiosks and temporary sites often have power but no wired network, so the PC has to bring its own connection. The EC90A-GH-R1606G-EN-DIO-LTE is the AMD Ryzen Embedded R1606G build of the DFI EC90A-GH series with a fitted LTE module and two SMA antenna connectors, 64 GB of eMMC and 8-bit DIO, in a fanless ultra-compact industrial PC.

The Ryzen Embedded R1606G is a dual-core processor at 2.6 GHz with a boost of up to 3.5 GHz, rated at 12 W, on the DFI GHF51-EN board from the GHF51 series. Its AMD Vega graphics with three compute units handle H.265 encode and decode and VP9 decode, which suits signage and camera review. Memory is 4 GB of DDR4-2400 soldered down, storage is 64 GB of eMMC, and fTPM 2.0 and a watchdog timer are built in. DFI lists Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, and the system is Ubuntu-certified IoT hardware.

The front carries two micro HDMI 1.4 ports at up to 4096 x 2160 at 24 Hz, one USB 3.1 Type-C port and one GbE port on an Intel I211AT controller. The rear combo port carries 8-bit DIO and SMBus for sensors, relays or a small I/O board. The full-size Mini PCIe slot holds the fitted LTE module, with two SMA antenna connectors on the rear.

Power is 12 V DC on a locking DC jack, which keeps the lead in place on a vibrating machine or a busy kiosk. The EC90A-GH-R1606G-EN-DIO-LTE runs fanless from -20 °C to 45 °C, with storage from -40 °C to 85 °C, and mounts on a wall or a VESA bracket. DFI lists CE, FCC and UKCA. The EC90A-GH-R1606G-EN-DIO is the same build without the LTE module, and the EC90A-GH-R1606G-DIO has 32 GB of eMMC.
