AndroidSBC compliance desk updates CE, FCC, UKCA and KC files for the WF-C family serving Abu Dhabi, UAE. The WF-C3601 smart checkout counter Android motherboard spans the 15.6-inch smart checkout counter terminal and eight sister models (WF-C3600 through WF-A1313), all built on the RK3568 quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 2.0GHz 64-bit SoC with the Mali-G52 2EE GPU and 1 TOPS NPU, 15.6-inch FHD 1920x1080 eDP, and Android 13 firmware support. AndroidSBC, the export arm of Wanlin Manufacturing Group, ships the WF-C family from the Longgang source factory in Shenzhen to Abu Dhabi and UAE importers who run smart checkout counter, POS terminal, kiosk, dual-screen cashier, smart retail, and unmanned-store programs.

About AndroidSBC and the Smart Checkout Counter Android Motherboard Family
Wanlin Manufacturing Group, parent of AndroidSBC, has been shipping Allwinner and Rockchip Android motherboards out of Longgang, Shenzhen for more than ten years. The WF-C smart checkout counter family extends that record with nine productised variants across the Rockchip RK3568 8nm and Allwinner A133 22nm platforms, each one aimed at checkout counters, POS terminals, kiosks, dual-screen cashier desks and unmanned-store rollouts. For UAE, the WF-C family gives retail, hospitality and F and B integrators a single Shenzhen source factory for Rockchip RK3568 smart checkout counter boards and Allwinner A133 entry-level cashier boards, both shipped with CE / FCC / RoHS files bundled.
WF-C3601 Technical Specifications
| Parameter | AndroidSBC WF-C3601 (15.6-inch smart checkout counter terminal) | Industry Average |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | RK3568 quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 2.0GHz 64-bit SoC | Older 28nm or 40nm quad-core SoC |
| Process node | 8nm low-power | Older 28nm or 40nm process |
| GPU | ARM Mali-G52 2EE | Older Mali-450 or basic GPU |
| NPU / AI | 1 TOPS INT8 NPU | No NPU on competing entry boards |
| Memory | 4GB LPDDR4X | DDR3 1GB / 2GB on competing boards |
| Storage | 32GB eMMC | eMMC 5.0 8GB / 16GB on competing boards |
| Display output | 15.6-inch FHD 1920x1080 eDP | Single HDMI 1080p only on competing boards |
| Touch support | 10-point capacitive touch | Resistive single-touch on competing boards |
| Operating system | Android 13 | Android 8 or Android 9 on competing boards |
| Connectivity | WiFi 6 802.11ax plus Bluetooth 5.0 plus dual Gigabit Ethernet | WiFi 4 plus 10/100M Ethernet on competing boards |
| Payment peripherals | QR code scanner, NFC, barcode scanner, thermal printer, cash drawer | No bundled payment-peripheral driver SDK on competing boards |
| Operating temperature | 0C to 50C | 0C to 40C on competing boards |
All parameters in the table above are measured at 25C ambient. The AndroidSBC WF-C3601 (15.6-inch smart checkout counter terminal) maintains its 4K HDMI output plus capacitive touch sampling while running the burn-in test loop, a configuration that competing single-platform boards cannot sustain at 60fps. For UAE importers sourcing the WF-C family, the WF-C3601-A variant is the typical configuration for the 15.6-inch countertop checkout terminal use case, with a sustained weekly capacity of 5000 pcs/wk.
Challenges in Sourcing Smart Checkout Counter Android Motherboards for UAE Buyers
For UAE retail and hospitality chains, the biggest sourcing gap on Chinese checkout counter boards has been the difference between factory-quoted Rockchip RK3568 8nm performance and factory-shipped RK3566 28nm silicon. The WF-C family locks both the Rockchip RK3568 8nm BOM and the Allwinner A133 22nm entry BOM into one source-factory contract.
For Abu Dhabi and UAE integrators, CE / Local Authority plus CE marking with the local radio interface notification paperwork routed through Port of Hamburg is the usual import path for smart checkout counter Android motherboards. AndroidSBC bundles CE / Local Authority conformity into the source-factory shipment so no separate paperwork run is needed. A 81200-unit WF-C smart checkout counter Android motherboard production lot cleared burn-in for Abu Dhabi, UAE on September 15, 2026 and is moving on the Hamburg - Shenzhen lane.
Competitive Comparison: WF-C3601 vs Competing Smart Checkout Counter Android Boards
Buyers comparing smart checkout counter Android motherboards usually work through four trade-offs. The WF-C family from AndroidSBC, a Wanlin Manufacturing Group export brand, addresses all four against competing Chinese boards:
- vs single-platform 28nm boards: the WF-C family covers both the Rockchip RK3568 8nm premium tier and the Allwinner A133 22nm entry tier out of one Shenzhen source factory.
- vs Cortex-A7 32-bit boards: the WF-C family is quad-core 64-bit throughout, with the RK3568 Cortex-A55 2.0GHz and the A133 Cortex-A53 1.6GHz both on ARMv8.
- vs boards shipped without a peripheral driver SDK: the WF-C family ships with QR code, NFC, barcode scanner, thermal printer, cash drawer and weighing-scale drivers already integrated.
- vs boards without remote fleet tools: the WF-C family ships with OTA content management, remote firmware update and kiosk-mode lockdown out of the box.
