Product Details
  • DFI VC230-AL is a fanless in-vehicle system powered by Intel Atom® E3900 series, featuring reliability, real-time data transmission, and SWap (small, lightweight, and low power consumption) with complete in-vehicle I/O and communication interfaces. It’s the vehicle information hub suitable for mobile telematics applications including fleet management, IoT edge computing, and more.
  • Supports dual SIM cards via Mini PCIe to match different telecom operators to avoid network interruption. Built-in GNSS provides accurate vehicle positioning.
  • DFI MPE-CAN2 CAN Bus Modules enable scalable and compact system integration, supporting error detection, information sharing, and fast data transmission among ECUs for improved driving safety.
  • Certified by E-Mark, MIL-STD-810G vibration-proof, CE, FCC, and RoHS, ensuring robust operation and compliance with safety and environmental standards.
  • Operates reliably in extreme environments with an extended temperature range from -40°C to 70°C.
  • Complies with RED (Radio Equipment Directive) for electromagnetic compatibility and efficient radio spectrum use.
  • Supports Power Ignition for safe shutdown and protection from overcurrent and overvoltage.
