Based on the Intel Atom processor E3800 family, the conga-QA3 Qseven module from congatec is certified for the Intel Gateway Solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT). By combining the Qseven module with the validated solution stack of the Intel Gateway Solutions for IoT, congatec offers a pre-integrated and open platform to quickly bring secure IoT solutions to market.

The company has paired its embedded computer with the validated software package from Intel, Wind River and McAfee to provide new services based on the connection of devices with each other and the cloud. The bundle includes McAfee Embedded Control which, among other things, includes dynamic whitelisting to prevent the execution of unapproved code while at the same time allowing policy-based updates.

The combination of reliable hardware and a consistent software package, starting with the firmware and operating system, forms a "root of trust" for IoT applications. By bundling a baseboard that incorporates a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip, congatec helps ensure that applications can be operated with maximum data security.

The 70x70mm Qseven conga-QA3 module using processors from the Intel Atom E3800 product family, bundled with the MB-Q7-2 baseboard from TQ-Systems, together provide an ultra-compact hardware kit. Use of these Intel Atom processors yields a very economical and extremely powerful embedded PC. The integrated Gen 7 Intel Graphics Technology offers high performance for graphics-intensive applications in the low-power segment. The compact baseboard design (measuring just 100x100x23mm), plus the numerous interfaces and functions, allow rapid and inexpensive implementation of powerful, yet passively cooled embedded systems such as Box PCs as well as customised solutions.
