MVC-4246 – Rugged Fanless Vehicle Computer with Intel Core-i by Darveen

The Darveen MVC-4246 is a rugged fanless vehicle-mounted embedded computer built for mobile industrial applications in mining, heavy transportation, public safety, and field operations where reliable computing under vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures is essential. The system is powered by an Intel Core i5-8265U or i7-8565U processor with Intel HD Graphics 620, supported by dual-channel DDR4 SODIMM memory upgradeable to 32GB, and a full-size mini-PCIe slot for mSATA storage. The MVC-4246 operates across -30°C to 70°C in a completely fanless aluminium and SGCC steel chassis that satisfies MIL-STD-810G anti-vibration and shock standards for reliable use in vehicle cabins, machinery, and outdoor mobile platforms. Power input accepts 9V to 36V DC with ignition control providing configurable power-on delay and shutdown delay functions, while an optional battery-backed mode supports 5V to 32V input with an integrated 3350mAh lithium battery for continued operation during vehicle power interruptions. Connectivity is extensive: four USB 2.0 and four USB 3.0 Type-A ports are provided, along with six isolated RS-232/485 serial ports via M12 connectors, dual Gigabit Ethernet available via both M12 and RJ45 interfaces, optional PoE/PoE+ on two ports, and a VGA display output in both M12 and DB15 formats. An M.2 3052 B Key slot and two mini-PCIe sockets enable expansion for 4G/5G, 802.11ac/ax Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS/GNSS/Galileo, and CAN2.0B modules, giving system integrators flexible connectivity options for telematics and fleet management use cases.
