ED-IPC3020E

Industrial-grade computer based on Raspberry Pi 5 — fanless, wide temperature range, RS485, external antenna

Key Features
  • Raspberry Pi 5 quad-core Cortex-A76, 2.4GHz, fully compatible with the Pi 5 ecosystem

  • Fanless passive cooling; operates from -25°C to 50°C with CPU running at full speed without throttling

  • Added RS232/RS485, audio input/output; optional PoE and NVMe SSD

  • External antenna design improves Wi-Fi signal strength by ~16 dB on average

  • Compact metal enclosure; desktop or wall-mount installation 


Fanless Passive Cooling for Wide Temperature Operation

  • CPU heat is conducted to the metal enclosure through the full-surface heatsink — no fan, no noise

  • Operates from -25°C to 50°C; CPU runs at full speed without throttling at high temperatures

  • Suitable for 24/7 continuous deployment

Expanded Industrial Interfaces

  • Standard RS232 and RS485 ports provide direct connection to PLCs, instruments, and other field devices

  • Audio input/output available via 3.5mm jacks

  • Optional Power over Ethernet (PoE) supplies both data and power over a single cable

  • Optional M.2 NVMe SSD; supports booting from SSD

  • Dual 4Kp60 HDMI outputs for extended dual-display setups

External Antenna Design Resolves Signal Attenuation in Metal Enclosures

Metal enclosures weaken the Wi-Fi signal from an onboard antenna. The ED-IPC3020E routes the antenna outside the enclosure through an IPEX connector and comes standard with a 2dBi rubber duck antenna, fundamentally improving signal quality.

Comparative test results (EDATEC Lab):

  • Tested at 4m and 10m distances

  • Measured on 7 channels in the 2.4GHz band and 9 channels in the 5GHz band

  • Outperformed the onboard antenna version at all test points, with a minimum improvement of ~7 dB

  • At 10m, the average improvement in the 2.4GHz band was ~22 dB, with a maximum of nearly 28 dB
