Lanner Electronics

Lanner Electronics is a computer science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Lanner Electronics rather than just read about it. In short: Lanner Electronics, Inc. (TSE:6245) (Chinese: 立端科技股份有限公司; pinyin: Lìduān Kējì Gǔfèn Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī), is a Taiwanese electronics manufacturer specializing in network appliances, industrial computers, embedded computers, vehicle PCs, motherboards and related accessories.

Key takeaways

Lanner Electronics belongs to computer science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Lanner Electronics to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Lanner Electronics from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Lanner Electronics, Inc. (TSE:6245) (Chinese: 立端科技股份有限公司; pinyin: Lìduān Kējì Gǔfèn Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī), is a Taiwanese electronics manufacturer specializing in network appliances, industrial computers, embedded computers, vehicle PCs, motherboards and related accessories. Lanner owns and operates printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing, chassis manufacturing and computer assembly factories. The company focuses mainly on OEM/ODM manufacturing for global name brand computer and computer peripheral companies. Lanner's main product lines include network appliance platforms, rugged embedded computers, and telecommunication carrier-grade platforms.

History Lanner Electronics was established in March 1986 as GES Taiwan, a subsidiary of a Singapore-based industrial PC company, GES International. In 1993, Lanner separated from the GES group and launched its own industrial computer chassis and SBC Single-board computer product lines under the name Lanner Electronics. In 2000, Lanner launched its new factory with one SMT line in Xizhi, Taipei County, and in 2003, the company went public on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. In 2006, Lanner opened a new factory and doubled output capacity.

Subsidiaries Lanner Electronics owns and operates the following subsidiaries:

Lanner Electronics USA, Inc. – The USA subsidiary is located in Fremont, CA, United States. Lanner Electronics Canada Ltd. – The office of this subsidiary is located in Mississauga, Ontario. L&S Lancom Platform Technology Company, Ltd. – This subsidiary serves all of mainland China. Its main office is located in Beijing. Lanner Europe B.V. – This subsidiary serves EU member states and the UK. The office is located in The Hague, Netherlands.

Operations With headquarters in Xizhi District, New Taipei City, Lanner operates 7 subsidiaries and manufacturing facilities in mainland China, Canada and the United States, five of which are in mainland China, one in the United States, and one in Canada. Lanner's Fremont (California) office serves the United States. Its Mississauga, Ontario office serves Canada and the east coast of the United States. Lanner's Beijing office is the main office of the subsidiary L&S Lancom Platform Technology Company, Ltd.

Products Lanner's products are divided into three main product lines:

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Lanner Electronics

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Lanner Electronics claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Lanner Electronics before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Lanner Electronics ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Lanner Electronics

In research: Lanner Electronics appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Lanner Electronics in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Lanner Electronics is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1986 establishments in Taiwan, Computer hardware companies, Computer systems companies, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Lanner Electronics outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
