AAEON, a leading provider of industrial PC solutions, has expanded its Rugged Box PC series with the BOXER-6649-RAP, the company’s first fanless embedded computer to feature four independent full-speed PoE LAN ports. Designed for smart security, safety, and surveillance applications, this new system combines robust industrial design with enhanced memory, connectivity, and expansion capabilities.
Power-Packed Performance with 13th Gen Intel Core
The BOXER-6649-RAP is available with a 28 W 13th Generation Intel Core processor (formerly Raptor Lake), offering ample computing power for real-time AI inference and data processing. Complementing its processing capabilities, the system supports up to 96 GB of DDR5 memory across two SODIMM slots—a 50% increase over previous generations. This expanded memory allows users to locally store large data models and run AI workloads without dropping frames, making it ideal for video analytics, surveillance, and smart monitoring systems.
Advanced Networking and I/O
One of the key highlights of the BOXER-6649-RAP is its networking versatility:
-
Four PoE LAN ports at 2.5 GbE each for powering connected devices and transmitting high-speed data
-
One additional 2.5 GbE RJ-45 LAN port
-
USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) x2 and USB 2.0 x4
-
DB-9 and DB-15 ports for RS-232/422/485 and 8-bit digital I/O
This comprehensive I/O setup makes the BOXER-6649-RAP highly adaptable to industrial automation, IoT deployment, and surveillance system integration.
Flexible Storage and Expansion
The BOXER-6649-RAP is built to accommodate both speed and storage needs:
-
M.2 2280 M-Key slot for high-speed NVMe modules
-
Internal 2.5” SATA drive bay for stable and cost-effective long-term storage
-
