Custom Mini-ITX Boards for Network Security Hardware

Security at Scale Starts With Board-Level Control
Secure systems aren’t just built on code. They’re built on boards designed to match the mission.
Evolving Security Demands, Static Hardware
Cybersecurity threats advance rapidly, but hardware often stays fixed.
Off-the-shelf motherboards rarely offer the flexibility to adapt to shifting protocol requirements, custom I/O needs, or new encryption standards.
Security appliance OEMs need board-level control, not boxed solutions
More Ports, More Complexity : Not More Space
Modern firewalls and VPN appliances demand more Ethernet ports, better power separation, and faster throughput, all in compact enclosures.
Fitting 6–8 LAN ports, PoE, TPM, and RAID-capable storage into a fanless, Mini-ITX form factor takes more than layout, it takes co-engineering.
Lifecycle, Compliance, and Deployment at Scale
Network security devices often serve critical, long-term roles in enterprise and industrial environments.
Customers expect multi-year support, stable BOMs, EMI/ESD certification, and region-specific compliance from batch #1 to 10,000.
Most commercial boards can’t meet these needs.
Built for Real Security Devices
Not Generic Use Cases
From BIOS behavior to power input, every board we deliver solves an exact challenge.
Need 8-10 LAN Ports in Compact Designs?
Standard boards don’t fit both port count and thermal limits
We support up to 8x Intel i226, SFP+, PoE+ in Mini-ITX form factor
Worried About BIOS Security or Power Failures?
Generic BIOS can’t handle watchdogs or secure boot
We customize UEFI, boot behavior, and OTP-locked BIOS
Facing Harsh or Unstable Power Environments?
Power spikes can damage firewall systems in the field
We support 9–36V input, ESD/EMI protection, ISO 7637 compliant
Need Long-Term Stability for Global Deployments?
BOM changes break compliance and add cost
We lock key components and offer 8–10 year lifecycle support

How We Deliver Custom Mini-ITX Motherboards
From Specs to Success: How We Build for You. Our proven process makes every custom board reliable, scalable, and fast to market.
What We’ve Built for Security OEMs
Our boards aren’t one-offs, they’re deployed in thousands of units, powering real-world network security platforms with custom logic, certified hardware, and locked BOMs.
6-Port Fanless Firewall for Cold Environments
Client needed 6x LAN, fanless, -20°C support, and power surge protection for rural deployments.
We built a Mini-ITX board with 6x Intel i226, TPM 2.0, wide-temp (-40°C to +85°C) parts, passive heatsink, and TVS protection.
Result: 3,000+ units running in Canada and Midwest USA. RMA rate <0.5%.
Firewall PCBA with Locked BOM for 7 Years
Customer’s previous board went EOL mid-project. Needed BOM stability and long lifecycle.
We supplied locked-BOM PCBA with dual-sourced parts and lifecycle tracking via NDA.
Result: Now shipping 12,000+ units/year with zero re-certification issues.
