TL500CA Industrial Motherboard
11th Gen Intel Tiger Lake-U at 28W with dual Intel 2.5G LAN, HDMI 2.0 plus MiniDP 4K dual display, and DDR4-3200 up to 64 GB — the TL500CA is the mature, cost-conscious NUC board in the GEOLiNK range, at home in gateways and space-constrained appliances. With DDR4 pricing and a proven 11th-gen platform, it is the board to pick when the job is standard and the budget is fixed.

Why TL500CA
Four arguments for the board that’s been proven
Memory
DDR4 keeps cost down
DDR4-3200 SO-DIMMs to 64 GB — mature pricing and wide availability where DDR5 bandwidth isn’t the bottleneck.
Modules
MiniPCIe for 3G/4G
A MiniPCIe slot carrying PCIe and USB 2.0 hosts Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G modules directly — no adapter board needed.
Display
HDMI + MiniDP dual
HDMI 2.0 and MiniDP (DP++ for simple adapters) run synchronous or asynchronous dual display up to 4K.
Storage
Short M.2 2242
The NVMe M.2 2242 slot keeps the board compact, and an onboard SATA 3.0 port adds a second drive with 2-pin 5V power.

Where It Fits
Gateways, appliances and signage
The TL500CA covers the classic NUC jobs: a small board, two fast LAN ports and enough I/O to hang peripherals off. Typical placements:
- Network security appliances: dual Intel 2.5G LAN gives WAN/DMZ/LAN separation in a 100 mm board that fits a shoebox chassis.
- IoT and comms gateways: the MiniPCIe slot hosts Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G modules for sites without fixed broadband.
- Signage and kiosk fallback: HDMI plus MiniDP with DP++ drives two screens — synchronous or independent — in retail and self-service equipment.
The TL500CA has been through enough field use that the integration surprises are mostly already found — which is precisely the point of this board.
