Press release: Compulab launches fitlet3, a next-generation Atom mini-PC for IoT and industrial applications

February 8, 2022, Yoqneam, Israel – Compulab launches fitlet3 – its latest Atom-based miniature fanless PC, featuring Intel’s newest Atom processor family, Elkhart Lake. fitlet3 is available for immediate order, with first shipments in Feb. 2022.

fitlet3 was designed to be highly versatile with multiple functions, all in a tiny form factor.fitlet3 outperforms former Atom-based platforms in almost every aspect.

Remarkable improvement of performance, multiple features without compromises

fitlet3 outperforms former Atom-based platforms in almost every aspect: CPU performance is up to x1.7 better, graphics performance is up to x2 better, and storage performance is up to x7 better.

The custom-made fitlet3 motherboard was designed to fully utilize the capabilities of Intel’s most advanced Atom platform, allowing up to 32GB, 3200MT/s DDR4 memory, and a comprehensive set of communication and industrial interfaces.

Additional interfaces are optional using one of the 3rd generation FACET extension cards:

- FC3-LAN: Two more 1Gb Ethernet ports to a total of four ports on RJ45 connectors
- FC3-OPLN: 1GbE over SFP+ for optical LAN
- FC3-POED: a single 1Gb PoE Ethernet port that can power the fitlet3

Wide range of features for demanding use-cases

fitlet3 is aimed at industrial automation, AI edge computing, and IoT applications. Therefore, it was designed with a full range of capabilities and features to bring outstanding value in any scenario.

The following properties make the fitlet3 ideal as an industrial control system, an AI Edge computer, or an IoT gateway:
