Product Description
The COMe-cWL6 (E2S) deliver high-performance, feature-rich Computer-on-Modules based on the standardized
COM Express® compact form factor and Intel`s single package BGA1528 System-on-Chip (SoC). The SoCs are
containing: Intel´s 8th Generation Core Series CPU processors. Through the use of COM Express connectors the
COMe-cWL6 is easily exchangeable and offers the most flexibility for customers designing it into their embedded
devices based on individual carrier boards.
The Kontron COMe-cWL6 (E2S) modules allow up to 48 GB of DDR4 memory. The board is also suited for harsh
operating conditions in industrial environments. For example, rugged modules are available that can be used within a
temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The option with a soldered main memory (memory down) of up to 16 GB
DDR4 ensures even more robustness. Kontron will also offer a screened E2 variant.
The COMe-cWL6 is ideally suited as a powerful successor for existing solutions, as it takes over their pin assignment
and feature implementation. Typical applications include communication, digital signage, professional gaming and
entertainment, medical imaging, surveillance and security, industrial edge computing as well as industrial plant-,
machine- and robot-control at the shop floor level and from the control room.
The new COM Express® Compact modules support the Kontron APPROTECT security solution based on Wibu-Systems
CodeMeter®. Kontron APPROTECT Licensing also enables new business models such as 'pay-per-use' and time-based
trial versions.
