MXE-210 Series
1 Introduction
ADLINK’s new Matrix MXE-210 Series compact embedded plat-
form, based on the Intel® Atom x7-E3950/X5-E3930 processor,
delivers the most reliable I/O design for maximum connectivity,
and a full aluminum alloy enclosure with industry-class construc-
tion makes it the embedded system of choice for industrial auto-
mation and applications demanding reliability in harsh
environments. Utilizing ADLINK's embedded SEMA intelligent
middleware, the MXE-210 Series delivers the remote manageabil-
ity and robustness required by mission critical operations.
The MXE-210 Series accommodates rich industrial I/O variety in
an compact system, with DisplayPort, two GbE by Intel network
interface controllers, 2 COM ports with BIOS-configurable among
RS232/RS422 and RS485, 2 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0 with dedi-
cated bandwidth, optional audio for mic-in/line-out support, one
mSATA SSD, one optional 2.5" SATA SSD, and one Micro SD
support, and dual mini PCIe slots with USIM socket supporting
communication with connections such as WiFi, BT, 3G, LoRa, and
4G LTE, the MXE-210 Series enables seamless interconnection,
ensuring interoperability between systems.
Matrix’s proven rugged construction assures operation in harsh
environments with operating shock tolerance up to 100 G, 5 Grms

vibration resistance, and optionally available extended operating
temperature ranges of -20°C to 70°C and -40°C to 85°C.
The MXE-210 Series maximizes manageability and security for a
world of applications, delivering efficient remote monitoring of sys-
tem activity and health in real time via different security building
blocks, such as hardware-based root integrity protection and soft-
ware-based prevention of unauthorized software and malware
takeover, system control over a robust secured channel, and com-
plete, fully manageable utilization of system resources.
All told, the MXE-210 presents an intelligent, robust embedded
system supporting wide application development and easy service
deployment, for outstanding performance in intelligent transporta-
tion, facility management, industrial automation, and IoT opera-
tions.
