iSocket supports all industry standard peripherals and manufacturers. It includes support for all common
peripheral protocols and low-level communication interfaces. Here’s a subset just for gaming peripherals.
What can we control?

• Significantly reduces development effort and time-to market.
• Dramatically simplifies peripheral and IO control through a single coherent API.
• Decouples the computing platform from the application specific interfaces,
allowing the use of standard form factor embedded boards (e.g. mini ITX).
• Significantly improves system reliability and manageability, both locally and
remotely through LAN/WAN and cloud based enterprise solutions.
• Integrated security features such as crypto-processing secures system
applications and data.
• Allows freedom of choice in peripheral selection (iSocket supports all major
device manufacturers)
• Dramatically simplifies application portability across different machines.
• It allows application portability across different platforms and operating systems
• Modular architectural allows flexibility in configuration for custom projects and
inclusion of new features and devices for new projects and markets
How does this benefit our customers?

e2c provide a broad range of platform building blocks for gaming machine manufacturers. Our objective is to provide
customers with maximum choice, flexibility and ease of integration. To achieve this we have developed a broad
range of platforms, including complete X86 gaming platforms, ARM/Linux based platforms, together with a powerful
middleware supporting all common peripherals. We also offer an extensive range of separate IO controllers (USB
and PCIe) which can be used with third party motherboards.

e2c provide retail tailored products combining our extensive peripheral support with high-performance computing
cores on both ARM and X86 architectures. The Smart Connect Range (SC) is based on ARM dual and Quad core
processors providing multi-display support at low power. The SC1000 range is based on open mini ITX standard so
supports all standard mITX motherboards and provides a full complement of GPIO and peripheral interfaces.
All products support full range of WAN/LAN connectivity options, including 3G, BLE, Zigbee etc. ARM based
products utilise embedded Linux. X86 products can utilse Linux or Windows embedded operating systems.

Vision
e2c continues to innovate on platform technology (Software and Hardware) for our focus markets. We have an
aggressive product roadmap to both enhance existing products and also deliver new innovations to our current
markets and expanding customer base.
Whilst to date our solutions have been tailored primarily to gaming and retail markets, our platform technology is
highly scalable into wider markets which require compute + connect solutions. This is applicable both within
products and wider networked solutions in the rapidly growing IoT infrastructure.
Our vision is to become a globally recognised brand for
innovation and excellence in ARM based embedded computing
platforms and edge compute+connect devices and solutions.
