"American Predator's Gator line is the perfect solution for OEMs seeking maximum processor muscle, but are concerned with the wattage and cooling of a standard Pentium® based design," said Ed Trevis, President and CEO of American Predator.
"All Gator products run cool in harsh conditions, including stock/vibration and little or no ventilation. Our customers can also count on our commitment to quality, longevity and support. That is what sets American Predator apart from the competition. The current state of the industrial market requires our customers to group with reliable suppliers to meet timely production obligations. Choosing American Predator is the first step to achieving design wins while maintaining that critical time-to-market."
