As special feature it provides two Mini-PCIe slots (one with SIM holder) which makes it very flexible in the field and expandable for many different applications.
The additional mSATA interface offers the opportunity to attach mSATA flash drives directly onboard.
The MS-9896 has a guaranteed long-term availability of at least 6 years. It’s available at DATA MODUL for a pretty attractive price (samples in stock).
