TOP800B
170 × 170 mm, 28 W Core Ultra, four display paths and M.2 B/E. A display-dense base for signage and kiosks.
Capability / Lifecycle and supply
Industrial boards stay in service for 5–10 years; Intel embedded availability runs 7–15 years. GEOLiNK's per-model lifecycle statement is an open item, confirmed per project rather than published as a promise.
Industry norms are cited as norms, not as GEOLiNK commitments. Per-model availability is confirmed with the supplier.
Lifecycle axis / known and open
Two published ranges bound the discussion: the 5–10 year industrial norm and 7–15 year Intel embedded availability. Neither is a per-model commitment.
Two rhythms / comparison
The difference is not speed; it is what is fixed and what is announced before it changes.
| Dimension | Consumer electronics | Industrial board |
|---|---|---|
| Refresh or service horizon | 12–18 months | 5–10 years typical |
| BOM and change | Not addressed here | Fixed BOM and change notification |
| End of life | Not addressed here | EOL/PCN and last-time-buy |
| Silicon availability | Not addressed here | 7–15 years Intel embedded |
The industrial column describes the documented norm. GEOLiNK's per-model position remains an open item until it is confirmed with the supplier.
Revision control / PCN and last-time-buy
A change is handled as a supply event: revision control, PCN/EOL notice, a last-time-buy window and an alternate model. The sequence is a response plan, not a promise of indefinite stock.
Supply response / five steps
The order is the commitment structure. Each step produces a document or a decision, not a verbal assurance.
Component or process change identified.
PCN/EOL notice to affected projects.
Quantity and window confirmed.
Closest documented model named.
Fit and function checked before release.
Known, committed, open
The first two numbers are industry ranges. The third is deliberately not a number: no per-model lifecycle duration is published before the supplier confirms it.
Documented bases / four models
Each card names the documented form factor and the attribute that most affects a long build.
170 × 170 mm, 28 W Core Ultra, four display paths and M.2 B/E. A display-dense base for signage and kiosks.
170 × 170 mm, LGA1700 socket, PCIe 4.0 x16 and 12–24 V input. A socketed base for vision and expansion cards.
146 × 102 mm, 9–36 V input, two CAN headers and M.2 B-Key. A wide-voltage base for gateways and machine control.
146 × 102 mm, 9–36 V input, six COM headers and one CAN port. A serial-heavy base for panel PCs and vehicle cabinets.
Before the purchase order
Not yet. GEOLiNK's per-model lifecycle statement is an open item; the industry norm and Intel embedded range are cited as norms, not commitments. Ask for the model and we confirm the position with the supplier.
The supply response is a PCN/EOL notice, a last-time-buy window and an alternate model. The exact notice period and stock position are confirmed per project.
Stock holding and last-time-buy quantities are confirmed at quotation. No buffer quantity or holding period is published.
Lifecycle and supply / scoped inquiry
Include the board, the expected service life and the alternate you could accept. Quote within 24–48 h; open terms confirmed at quotation.
