The Wireless Router Application Platform is a format of single board computer defined by Swiss company PC Engines. This is specially designed for wireless router, firewall, load balancer, VPN or other network appliances.Basic specs
There are three different models of the WRAP:
- The WRAP 1-1 has two Ethernet ports, and two mini-PCI slots, on a 16x16cm board.
- The WRAP 1-2 has three Ethernet ports and one mini-PCI slot, on a 16x16cm board.
- The WRAP 2 has one Ethernet port, and two mini-PCI slots, on a 10x16cm board.
Operating System
The WRAP is capable of running many different operating systems, including various Linux distributions, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, as well as proprietary OSes. The WRAP lacks a keyboard controller, so some OSes that rely on one for the boot process may have to be modified.PC Engines announced the end of life for the WRAP platform in 2007. The board was replaced by the ALIX.
