How Do Intel® N100 and N150 Processors Power the NXALN51?

Efficient Intel® N-Series Processing

Choose the Intel® Processor N100 based on Alder Lake-N or the Intel® Processor N150 based on Twin Lake to match project requirements. Both options provide four cores, four threads, 6MB Intel® Smart Cache, integrated Intel® UHD Graphics, and a low 6W TDP. Maximum turbo frequency reaches 3.40GHz with the N100 and 3.60GHz with the N150, delivering responsive, energy-efficient performance for network services, edge gateways, industrial monitoring, digital signage, and embedded control applications.

How Do Four 2.5GbE LAN Ports Support Edge and Network Applications?

Connect More Networks at 2.5GbE Speed

The NXALN51 provides four independent 2.5GbE RJ45 LAN ports powered by Intel® i226 Ethernet controllers, giving system integrators the flexibility to connect uplinks, local networks, management systems, and industrial devices through one compact platform. Support for 10/100/1000/2500Mbps networking and Wake-on-LAN makes it a strong choice for network appliances, edge gateways, industrial networking, and multi-network embedded systems. Routing, firewall, network segmentation, and traffic-management capabilities depend on the installed operating system and software.

What Connectivity and Expansion Options Does the NXALN51 Provide?

Rich I/O for Flexible Edge Integration

The NXALN51 combines four 2.5GbE LAN ports, two HDMI 2.0 outputs, two USB 3.2 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, an RJ45 RS-232 console port, and a SIM card slot in a compact fanless chassis. Internal expansion includes an M.2 Key B slot for a 2280/2242 SATA SSD or optional 3042 4G module, an M.2 Key E 2230 slot for optional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and a SATA 3.0 FPC interface. This rich connectivity allows system integrators to connect wired networks, displays, USB peripherals, serial equipment, storage, wireless modules, and cellular communication for network appliances, edge gateways, industrial control, and other embedded systems.
