Brand Story: Jinghong

Customize every possibility for the dream of small brands

In Shenzhen, a city where technology and innovation intertwine, countless entrepreneurs set out every day with the dream of changing the world. They may want to subvert the home audio-visual experience with a mini host, or use customized laptops to give wings to education in remote areas, or use industrial computers to promote the intelligent transformation of factories... But the reality is often: the needs of small brands are always overwhelmed by the standardization of the big market. So, Jinghong was born.

In 2014, we started with a simple belief—"No matter how small the demand is, it deserves to be taken seriously." For 9 years, we have been deeply involved in the field of customization. From mini hosts to industrial computers, from laptops to fanless embedded devices, Jinghong has never stopped exploring how to use technology to "reduce the burden" of entrepreneurs' creativity.

We understand the unique challenges facing expanding hardware startups: anxiety because you can't find a factory willing to take small batch orders, roadblocks caused by complex hardware adaptation issues, and the underlying concern that small brands find it difficult to obtain the same quality assurance as large companies. At Jinghong, these challenges dissolve into solutions.

Technical Roadmap & Future Outlook of SFF Computing

How the consolidation of high-TDP components into micro-chassis architectures is redefining computing topology.

Thermal Engineering & Fanless Topology

The core bottleneck of Small Form Factor (SFF) deployment has always been thermal throttling. Our roadmap features custom Vapor Chamber (VC) cooling plates coupled with copper heat pipes structured to match the exact die layout of Intel 13th Gen and Raptor Lake CPUs. Our passive fanless designs (e.g., WG1 series) feature high-density aluminum fin arrays that optimize natural convection, allowing continuous operation at 100% CPU load without thermal throttling, maintaining a junction temperature well below critical thresholds.

AI at the Edge (NPU Integration)

As semantic search models and local machine learning tasks migrate to edge devices, our upcoming Mini PC platforms are integrating specialized Neural Processing Units (NPUs). This hardware acceleration allows deep neural networks, localized natural language processing, and computer vision models to execute directly on the edge terminal. This reduces dependency on cloud APIs, lowers latency, protects data privacy, and scales decentralized operations cost-effectively.

Next-Gen Interconnect & Memory Standards

We are phasing out legacy configurations in favor of dual-channel DDR5 operating at up to 5600MHz, coupled with PCIe Gen 5 M.2 NVMe storage arrays. This hardware standard guarantees a massive leap in data throughput, removing I/O bottlenecks in operations such as real-time database management, 4-screen 4K display processing (utilized in our GP1 mini host), and dense multi-threaded industrial container runtimes.

Macro Industry Solutions: Vertical Integration

How specialized Mini PC setups address operational bottlenecks across global industrial sectors, digital signage networks, and hybrid workspaces.

Smart Automation & Industrial IoT

Industrial settings require resilience against airborne particulates, electrostatic discharge, and extreme operational temperatures. Our fanless industrial mini PCs (such as BQR6 and WG1 models) are engineered with ruggedized chassis to prevent dust ingress (IP50 rating). Featuring dual Gigabit LAN ports, GPIO connections, and hardware watchdog timers, they serve as reliable controllers for SCADA systems, remote telemetry units (RTUs), and machine-to-machine (M2M) communications at the factory floor level.

Digital Signage & Multi-Display Visual Nodes

High-resolution modern digital signage demands systems capable of driving multiple independent 4K or 8K displays simultaneously. Our GP1 Mini Host supports up to four independent displays using Intel Iris Xe graphics. By deploying these systems, retail groups, transport terminals, and command centers can centralize their playback systems, reducing hardware overhead, optimizing power usage, and simplifying content distribution via localized CMS agents.

Hybrid Enterprise Offices & VDI Deployments

Modern workplaces require high computing power combined with clean, uncluttered desks. A custom Mini PC setup mounted behind a VESA-compatible monitor creates an integrated all-in-one workspace solution. Combined with Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) protocols, corporate IT administrators can rapidly deploy pre-configured systems across regional offices, drastically lowering maintenance overhead while securing business data at the server level.

Specialized Retail & Smart POS Terminals

Our ultra-compact mini PCs (e.g., 128mm BQM3 series) fit easily into space-constrained point-of-sale (POS) systems, interactive self-service kiosks, and automated ticketing booths. Engineered for 24/7 continuous operation, these motherboards offer legacy serial interfaces alongside modern USB-C interfaces, securing backward compatibility with scanning hardware, receipt printers, and cash drawers without the need for unreliable external hubs.

China Factory 4.0: Supply Chain Resilience & Efficiency

Operating out of Shenzhen's premier hardware cluster in Guanlan, Jinghong leverages the world's most concentrated electronics supply chain. This physical proximity to component manufacturers allows us to source raw PCB laminates, passive components, custom alloy chassis, and silicon dies within a 10-kilometer radius. This hyper-localized ecosystem reduces procurement times and enables rapid prototyping of custom hardware modifications.

Traceable Quality via Factory 4.0 Protocols: Every single unit leaving the Jinghong factory has a unique QR code. Scanning this code reveals its digital birth log: tracking raw materials back to their original component batches, through automated SMT lines, past automated optical inspection (AOI), and detailing the final 72-hour dynamic thermal burn-in test. It even records the digital signature of the technician who oversaw final assembly.

Our flexible assembly lines are designed for high-mix, low-volume production. Unlike traditional assembly lines that require high minimum runs (MOQs of 1,000+ units) to offset tooling changes, our modular setup adapts to single-digit orders. This design allows custom thermal designs, specialized I/O brackets, or unique firmware settings to be implemented on the production floor without interrupting primary assembly processes.

Global Enterprise Procurement Dynamics

Addressing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), customized hardware integration, and life-cycle management for international procurement networks.

The TCO Equation in SFF Hardware Lifecycle

Enterprise buyers understand that the upfront cost of hardware represents only a portion of its true lifetime expense. Maintenance visits, system failures, power consumption, and replacement costs significantly impact the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). By engineering Mini PCs with an MTBF of 50,000+ hours and utilizing passive cooling structures, we dramatically reduce physical points of failure, such as fan bearings seizing up in dusty conditions. This directly lowers operational maintenance costs and prevents unexpected system downtime.

Firmware & BIOS Locking Services: Large enterprises require consistent software images. We provide customized BIOS configurations, default operating system builds, and product-lifecycle locking. This guarantees that replacement units shipped years later will match the exact same hardware revisions and driver signatures, eliminating compliance risks.

Localization & Compliance Framework

Exporting computing systems globally requires compliance with safety, environmental, and radio standards. Our motherboards and chassis options are certified to meet international criteria, including FCC (US), CE (EU), RoHS (Environmental safety), and CCC (China). This guarantees trouble-free customs clearance and quick integration into regional distribution channels. Additionally, we provide localized warranty support, including rapid parts replacement and direct communication channels with our engineering teams in Shenzhen, ensuring technical issues are resolved within 24 hours.

Mini PC Setups & Customization FAQ

Answers to common technical, procurement, and integration questions for buyers and system architects.

Q1: What are the main benefits of a fanless mini PC over an actively cooled setup?

Fanless mini PCs use passive cooling, transferring heat directly from the CPU to a ribbed aluminum chassis via heat pipes. The primary advantages include:

  • Zero Noise: Ideal for recording studios, libraries, and medical examination rooms.
  • Dust and Particle Prevention: No intake fans means no airborne dust, metallic particles, or moisture is pulled into the chassis, preventing internal short circuits.
  • Higher MTBF: Eliminates fan motor failures, the most common physical failure point in computing hardware.
Q2: Can your mini PC setups run multi-monitor displays, and what are the limitations?

Yes, several of our platforms are engineered for multi-display setups. For instance, the Intel 12 Mini Host GP1 supports up to 4 independent displays using dual HDMI and dual DisplayPort/Type-C channels. This capability is powered by Intel Iris Xe graphics. It is important to match the display outputs with certified high-speed cables (HDMI 2.0+ or DP 1.4) to maintain 4K resolution at 60Hz across all connected screens.

Q3: How does your Shenzhen factory support 1-unit custom orders?

Our Guanlan facility uses a flexible, modular assembly line rather than a fixed mass-production setup. By maintaining pre-produced motherboard layouts and stock of modular alloy chassis, we can customize RAM, storage, CPU thermal plates, and BIOS splash screens on demand. This allows startups and specialized brands to test prototypes or order small batches without high upfront tooling costs or MOQ restrictions.

Q4: What certifications do your motherboards and mini PCs carry for international shipping?

All our standard products (including the BQR6, WG1, and D1 Motherboard series) are manufactured to meet CE, FCC, RoHS, and CCC standards. For large volume orders or specific regions, we can coordinate with third-party testing agencies to obtain specialized certifications (such as UL, KC, or PSE) as required by the client’s local compliance guidelines.

Q5: Can these mini PCs run high-end graphics processing or AI workloads locally?

Yes, we design specialized SFF systems with dedicated graphics cards. Our Custom RTX 3050 Ti Mini Gaming PC combines an Intel Core i7/i9 processor with an NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti 8G GPU. This configuration handles GPU-accelerated workloads, local machine learning models, 3D rendering, and video editing, while maintaining a compact footprint compared to standard desktop towers.
