Radxa E24C Fanless Mini Network Router Features RK3528A SoC, 4x GbE, HDMI, and NVMe Support

The Radxa E24C is a fanless network-embedded mini router based on the Rockchip RK3528A SoC, equipped with four Gigabit Ethernet ports, 4K HDMI video output, and an M.2 NVMe slot for high-speed storage in a compact enclosure, designed for routing, edge networking, and industrial tasks.

The Radxa E24C builds upon the dual Gigabit Ethernet Radxa E20C mini network Titan. The front and side panels of the E24C include a DC power input, HDMI output, four configurable WAN/LAN Gigabit Ethernet ports, multiple USB 2.0 Type-A ports, and a USB Type-C port that supports OTG data transfer and UART debugging. The Radxa E24C is an ideal choice for network engineers, developers, and system integrators, providing a robust platform for deploying firewalls, VPN gateways, custom routers, and edge computing solutions.

Previously, we covered the Radxa ROCK E20C, a compact network computer powered by the Rockchip RK3528A SoC, as well as the Radxa E52C, a high-performance mini network router featuring the Rockchip RK3582 and 2.5GbE ports. Feel free to check them out if you’re interested in similar products.
