SMART AM60 iQ appliance

What the AM60 iQ appliance adds to a SMART Board

The AM60 iQ appliance is an Open Pluggable Specification (OPS) computing module. It sits behind a compatible SMART Board display, giving the display its own Android 15 system so that lessons and meetings can run without a separate PC on the desk. The module runs an octa-core 64-bit processor with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and 64 GB of storage, with storage listed up to 576 GB, and its interface is shown at 4K UHD resolution (3840 × 2160).

Connections and specifications that matter for planning

The module has one HDMI 2.1 input and one USB-C input that carries 4K at 60Hz with DisplayPort 1.2 and USB 2.0 for touch and digital audio. Two USB 3.1 Type-A ports, a USB 3.1 Type-B port, a gigabit RJ45 LAN port, a microSD slot and a 3.5 mm stereo input complete the input set. Outputs are a 4K HDMI 2.1 port, a USB-C port with DisplayPort 1.4 and 4.5 W power delivery, and a 3.5 mm stereo output. Wireless is 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6e) with WPA3 and 802.1X EAP support, alongside Bluetooth 5.2 dual mode.

• Operating range: 5–35°C, 5–80% relative humidity, non-condensing
• Power: 12–19V DC input, rated at 22.5 W
• Footprint: 20 cm × 13.2 cm × 3 cm, weighing 0.74 kg

Where it fits in Qatar

A private school in Al Wakrah fitting out new classrooms can give each teacher an Android 15 environment with Google Play access, which suits schools that already manage Google accounts for staff and pupils. The module is EDLA-licensed by Google and interoperates with Google for Education and Microsoft customers, so the same display can serve mixed-platform teams.

A government office in Doha that uses enterprise Wi-Fi can rely on the 802.1X EAP support when joining the display to its network. A training centre in Education City or a company boardroom in Lusail can use the USB-C input to bring a visitor's laptop picture and touch onto the screen without moving any cables behind the display.

What to plan before ordering

Three checks help avoid delays. First, confirm the display: SMART Board displays are sold separately and support may vary by series, so match the module to your exact display model before the order is placed. Second, measure the space: the module is 20 cm wide, 13.2 cm high and 3 cm deep, so check the slot area behind the panel and the cable route for the 1.8 m USB-C cable and two antennas supplied in the box. Third, check the room. The module is rated for 5–35°C, a range an air-conditioned classroom or boardroom can maintain, whereas a hot store room or an unventilated cabinet in a Qatari summer can fall outside it.

The module includes a Kensington Security Slot, useful in shared classrooms where equipment moves between rooms. Confirm the power arrangement against the 12–19V DC input rating; the SmartRooms Qatar team checks this during the free site survey.

SmartRooms Qatar delivers to all eight municipalities and can issue a quotation, usually within one working day, for a single module or a batch for several rooms. Request a quote with your display model, room type and quantity, and we will confirm compatibility and the configuration for your site.
