Sealevel Systems Announces the Relio R1 Edge, Extending Range and Capabilities of the Industry-Leading Product Line

Sealevel Systems announces the release the Relio R1 Edge, the latest addition to the industry-leading Relio embedded computer line. The R1 Edge incorporates the newest generation of industrial processors and a modernized video interface. With versatile communication options like 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, Cellular 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 6E, and RS-232/422/485, the R1 Edge features a USB C port, locking USB 3.1 ports, locking USB 2.0 ports, DisplayPorts, Audio Line-In/Out 3.5mm ports, and a wide operating temperature range of up to -40°C to +71°C.

"The Relio R1 Edge represents Sealevel’s commitment to providing powerful computing solutions that are rugged enough to meet the demands at the edge," said Jeff Baldwin, Director of Engineering at Sealevel. "With its powerful Intel Core processors, robust and diverse connectivity options, and ruggedized design, the R1 Edge is built to handle the complex challenges of today's, and tomorrow's, industrial, military, and aerospace applications, enabling our customers to connect faster, compute smarter, and scale at the edge."

Rugged Reliability 

The R1 Edge has an extremely rugged, anodized aluminum enclosure combined with intentional thermal management for unmitigated performance under environmental extremes. The fanless, solid-state design, combined with locking SeaLATCH USB connectors, ensures shock and vibration tolerance as well as long-term reliability.

Configurable I/O & Future-Proof Architecture 

Versatile communication comes standard with the R1 Edge, including options like Cellular 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 6E, RS-232/422/485, and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet. With a robust and flexible I/O mix, this rugged industrial computer is capable of managing a variety of data inputs to interface with legacy systems and the most advanced peripherals, all from the edge. The embedded computer’s COM Express architecture allows for technology migration to easily change, and upgrade, the CPU functionality without a complete system redesign or replacement.

“The new R1 Edge capitalizes on the success of our existing Relio rugged industrial computers, while providing the future-looking processing power and diverse I/O that customers expect from Sealevel. We launched the Relio line with the goal of advancing applications and industries with particularly extreme environments, including energy, defense, transportation, aerospace, and other critical applications. With the increased capabilities offered by the R1 Edge, we’re looking forward to extending the edge for our customers as they upgrade remote systems and create new, more mobile, and portable solutions,” said Earle Foster, Sr. VP of Sales for Sealevel. 

Software Flexibility & Fast Deployment 

Inside the R1 Edge, a M.2 SATA III SSD slot provides solid-state storage ranging from 128GB to 1TB. The R1 Edge is compatible with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, Windows 11 Pro, Linux RHEL 8 (or later), and Linux Ubuntu 21 (or later). The system is also Windows 11 IoT-ready to provide maximum flexibility for customer-specific software applications. Sealevel’s SeaCOM hardware driver is included to provide system I/O. Serial application code samples assist with custom application development and complete support documentation expedites configuration.
