Marvell announced a faster, wirelessly connected version of its tiny, Linux-based networking computer reference design, which plugs directly into a wall adapter. The Plug Computer 3.0 design adds WiFi, Bluetooth, and a built-in hard drive, and moves up to a new 2GHz Armada 300 version of its ARM-based Armada processors.

The Plug Computer 3.0 has a wider range of applications than the original, which was focused primarily on network-attached storage (NAS) and media server duties. New applications are said to extend to management of medical and financial records, as well as home monitoring jobs like remote management of lights, thermostat, and irrigation systems. Additional matches might include security and access control, smart grid, industrial automation, agricultural, and mesh and grid computing applications, says Marvell.
