The distributor will offer embedded board lines from AAEON, Advantech, aValue, Protech, TQ Components and VIA Technologies.
The netwroking lines will be Atop, Delta Design, Digi International, Lancom, Maxstream, Tibbo, Volktek, with displays from Litemax, Promate (AUO), Sharp, Varitronix and Xiamen.
