RJ-45-sized Linux server

This might not be a full blown PC/Server but it runs Linux and can be used by Electrical engineers to control their boards over a network (both Ethernet and Wifi) without too much work. I came across this a couple of years ago.

  

Imagine creating your own Centralized Traffic Light Control system. Any electrical engineer can design a board that will turn the lights red, yellow and green. Imagine adding the above shown Wifi or ethernet version of this device and then being able to control and monitor all the lights in your city from your Office room (there is a huge demand for this nowadays).

I am just hoping for a WiMax version of this connector. Here in Karachi we have a very good WiMax wireless network set up by Wateen. Being able to control remote devices over WiMax and GPRS is much easier to do than ethernet here.
