Dual LAN Mini PCs for Business and Industrial Use
A dual LAN mini PC has two Ethernet ports. It connects to two wired networks at the same time, or it runs one network for work and a second for control or monitoring. Business and industrial sites use this setup to separate traffic, add a backup link, or connect a machine to both a plant network and an office network.
Thinvent's Aero mini PC range includes Dual LAN models. The Aero models use Intel Core processors. The Core i7-1255U model has 10 cores, runs up to 4.7 GHz, has 12 MB of cache, and comes with 16GB DDR4 RAM and a 256GB SSD. The Core Ultra 5 125U model has 12 cores, runs up to 4.3 GHz, has 12 MB of cache, and comes with 16GB DDR5 RAM and a 256GB SSD. Both Dual LAN models run Ubuntu Linux or Windows 11 Pro, and both use a 12V adapter.
