1.1 Introduction
Due to the growing popularity from the IPC market, the newest
Boxer series AEC-6420 has been introduced by AAEON.
AEC-6420 utilizes Intel Atom processor.
New Innovation for Entertainment Multimedia Domain
In this era of information explosion, the advertising of consumer
products will not be confined to the family television, but will also
spread to high-traffic public areas, like department stores, the bus,
transportation station, the supermarket etc. The advertising
marketing industry will resort to every conceivable means to
transmit product information to consumers. System integrators will
need a multifunction device to satisfy commercial needs for such
public advertising.
Compact design for indoorEnvironment
The AEC-6420 is designed for indoor environments due to the
following reasons; first, the AEC-6420 offers low power
consumption system that while operating in ambient temperatures
ranging from 0° to 45°C. The MTBF(Mean Time Before Failure)
rating states that the AEC-6420 can operate up to 70,000 hours at
35°C ambient temperature, which indicates its careful and long-life
design.
The AEC-6420 is a standalone high performance controller

designed for long-life operation and with high reliability. It can
replace traditional methods and become the mainstream controller
for the multimedia entertainment market.
