1.1 Introduction

The newest Boxer series AEC-6511 has been introduced by
AAEON and it utilizes Intel

®

Atom™ processor. 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.

The AEC-6511 is designed for indoor environments due to the
following reasons; first, the AEC-6511 offers low power
consumption system that while operating in ambient temperatures
ranging from -20° to 55°C. The MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure)
rating states that the AEC-6511 can operate up to 70,000 hours at
40°C ambient temperature, which indicates its careful and long-life
design.

The AEC-6511 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.
