"ARE-4L" designation and focus on low-power embedded computing. The ARE-4L redefines edge computing efficiency – delivering industrial-grade compute and AI in a sub-5W power envelope. Ideal for sustainable automation where energy constraints coexist with ruggedness. Validate 10-year silicon availability and request -40°C cold-start testing reports. For mission-critical deployments, implement dual-redundant power inputs with automatic failover.

Deployment Best Practices

  1. Power Optimization

    • Use synchronous buck converters (e.g., TPS62933) for >95% power efficiency

    • Enable runtime PM (power management) in Linux kernel

  2. Environmental Protection

    • Use Polycase enclosures with conformal-coated board

    • In high-humidity: Apply Humiseal 1B73acrylic coating

  3. Wireless Integration

    • For LPWAN: Pair with Quectel BG77 (LTE-M/NB-IoT) or Semtech SX1262 (LoRa)
