“Footprint-compatible with the original XPort Embedded Device
Server, which shipped in 2003 running Lantronix’ Evolution OS,
XPort Pro still is available with that proprietary operating system
(OS), but is now also offered with Linux. Aimed at deploying
machine-to-machine applications at the network edge, the
customizable, 0.34-ounce (9.6g) device is reminiscent in size and
functionality to Digi International’s DigiConnect ME.

“Running on an unnamed 32-bit processor, the XPort Pro offers
over five times the processing power of its proprietary
predecessor, says Lantronix. In addition, the device’s 8MB SDRAM
and 16MB flash represents 32 times the memory of the previous XPort
model, says the company.”
