The ultra compact fanless PC market has just seen the addition of a new entry from VIA sporting the company's tiny EPIA-P900 Pico-ITX board.

The new VIA AMOS-3002 combines VIA's 1.0GHz Eden X2 dual core processor with its HD media capable VX900H media system processor (MSP) on the aforementioned board, making it an attractive option for situations like in-car infotainment.

Its completely fanless, all-passive operation combined with a super small footprint and the ability to smoothly run 1080p content will be the major selling point of the AMOS-3002.

Running dimensions of just 19.7 cm x 10.4 cm x 4.9 cm (WxDxH) with its robust chassis that can withstand tons of abuse in terms of temperature and shock, the unit is packed with a solid array of connectivity including dual Gigabit ethernet, optional 3G & WiFi via a MiniPCIe expansion slot, Cfast slot and room to house a 2.5-inch HDD. Adding to that are a couple COM ports, six USB 2.0 ports, line-in and outputs, a DIO port, VGA and HDMI.

"Able to operate completely fanlessly within a robust chassis, the VIA AMOS-3002 leverages the digital excellence of the VIA EPIA-P900 Pico-ITX board, combining a 1.0GHz Eden X2 processor and the VX900H media system processor, to provide customers with an embedded system that delivers all the latest features and digital media standards required for a diversified range of embedded applications including telematics, in-vehicle control, machine to machine controller (M2M), digital signage and kiosks.

Storage is provided through a Cfast slot for a flash drive while an optional storage sub-system expansion chassis offers support for a standard 2.5" SATA drive. Comprehensive I/O functions on front and rear panels make the AMOS-3002 a flexible solution for a wide range of embedded applications. Front I/O includes, two COM ports, one Cfast slot, four USB 2.0 ports, including two lockable ports for increased ruggedization, line-in/out, and one DIO port, while rear I/O includes, one VGA and one HDMI port, two GLAN ports for dual Gigabit networking and a further 2 USB 2.0 ports. Optional Wi-Fi and 3G networking are available through a MiniPCIe expansion slot.

Note*: The AMOS-3002 is also available with the use of a EPIA-P830 Pico-ITX board featuring a 1.0GHz Nano™ E-Series processor for an increased operating temperature range up to 70°C."
