The embedded Military, Industrial, Transportaion, Security and computer market
Our primary market consists of OEMs who embed computers in military & space applications, transportation, control, security and energy systems; and data acquisition. Our rugged computers are uniquely designed to withstand wide temperature ranges and shock and vibration. Because Octagon computers are smaller than most other industrial PCs, they can be used in many applications not served by the traditional market.
Embedded solutions in harsh environments are our business.
Since 1981, Octagon has provided rugged, reliable, embedded systems for the transportation, military and security markets. We offer a total solution—both hardware and software.
Ruggedness by design
From our smallest cards that measure 4.5" x 4.9" to our slightly larger single board computers, you'll find Octagon CPUs small enough for the tightest application. They are rugged enough to endure temperatures ranging from –40° to 85° C. Built to withstand up to 5g vibration and 20g shock, our cards go to extremes that standard PCs just can't handle. In fact, our cards are rugged enough for the Boeing 777, reliable enough to fly on the Space Shuttle, tough enough to guide earth moving machines, hardy enough to withstand Siberian winters, and small enough to be velcroed to a pilot's knee.
Highly reliable
With a demonstrated Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of 10.27 to 26.25 years, Octagon cards meet rigorous MIL–217F standards. That means you're ensured exceptional reliability.
Reduces power consumption by 90 percent
Octagon's 100–percent CMOS design reduces power consumption to about 10 percent of the power required to run a standard PC. A single 5V power supply is all that's needed. In fact, you won't need a cooling fan, even if our cards are housed in a sealed enclosure.
Packaged for performance
Our system of flexible packaging/mounting options ensures that our products are easy to incorporate into the most challenging applications. In fact, Octagon cards offer the most packaging options of any industrial PC system on the market. You'll find the possibilities are endless. Install our cards in ISA Bus card cages and backplanes. Or, place them side–by–side, stack them, mount them at right angles, plug them into custom I/O boards or operate them stand–alone. Options are as varied as your application need.
The Octagon product line
We offer three types of embedded CPUs and a complete line of expansion cards and accessories for one–stop shopping:
• Single board computers—our line of stand–alone CPUs, rich in functionality with Pentium® performance.
• Micro PCs—our smallest embedded computer. Mount them in a card cage with expansion cards or with a flex backplane, or use them as stand–alone computers.
• PC/104 CPUs—like our Micro PCs these are small and rugged in a PC/104 package with Pentium performance.
• Expansion cards—Communication, digital and analog I/O, video, motion control, data storage...
• Accessories—card cages, power supplies, cables, flex backplanes, keypads, displays, interface boards, terminal boards, converters, opto racks and modules.
• –40° to 85° C
• OS and hardware compatibility
• Unlimited technical support
• ISO quality management system
• Long–term product availability
• Manufactured in USA
