Kontron recently launched a mini Box-PC named Kbox A-201, which supports Intel Gateway solutions for the Internet of Things (that was previously known as Moon Island). It has a unified middleware along with Kontron’s embedded application programming interface (KEAPI) that permits an easy approach and dominance of hardware resources. It is an application ready machine to machine platform that puts up an easily Internet of Things.

Why Intelligent Gateway solution?
The primary cause behind the evolution of the intelligent gateway solutions like KBox A-201 mini PC is the McAfee Embedded Control 6.1 and the Wind River Intelligent Platform XT 2.0. These intelligent gateways allow the connection of extending systems to the next generation intelligent infrastructures however they are decisive to the extending systems. They allow engineers to exploit business opportunities enabled by the Internet of Things along with the data it generates.
