Here at Sarsen we work hard to maintain our position as an industry leading distributor of embedded single board computers, FPGA boards, MIL-STD-1553 hardware, digital signal processing and high performance computing COTS technology.

This is only achievable because we work with some amazing manufacturers. From single board computers and FPGA boards to MIL-STD-1553 hardware, rugged systems and high performance computing COTS technology, we can support a wide range of markets and applications.

ECRIN Systems is our European partner for embedded computers and rugged COTS systems. Their core business is the integration of COTS building blocks from Open Standard form factors like PICMG 1.3 to achieve the best system performance at reduced cost and shortest time to market. One of the most popular products we supply here in the UK is the nanoONYX.

The nanoONYX is a powerful, small form factor computer system featuring a Quad-Core Intel® Atom™ E3950 processor. Despite its compact size, the nanoONYX is a high-performance device that is capable of handling a wide range of applications and tasks.

One of the standout features of the nanoONYX is its rugged design. The system is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, making it an ideal choice for use in industrial or military settings. It is capable of operating in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +71°C, and is resistant to shock and vibration as it is fully qualified according military standards including DO-160, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-704.

About ECRIN Systems
In more than 40 years, ECRIN Systems has built its development around three activities to become one of the major embedded electronics players in the French and European market: Recognised by major contractors, manufacturers and industrials, ECRIN Systems pays particular attention to designing and providing innovative and robust systems that meet the most demanding requirements.

Despite its ruggedness, the nanoONYX is also incredibly versatile. It comes equipped with a variety of interfaces and connectivity options, including Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, HDMI, and starts at 6.5 Watts to 12W for low power applications. It also features a powerful processor, up to 32GB of RAM, and a solid state drive for storage.

The nanoONYX is a particularly attractive option for applications that require high-speed data processing or real-time computing. Its low latency and high-bandwidth capabilities target aerospace tactical missions embedded in UAS, UCAV, manned or unmanned aircraft where  low power, very compact footprint and lightweight are the deciding factors.
 
Overall, the nanoONYX is an impressive device that offers a unique combination of ruggedness, versatility, and high-performance computing power. Whether you're looking for a system for use in harsh environments, or simply need a compact and powerful computing solution, the nanoONYX is definitely worth considering.
