MEN: PCI Express Mini Card for boundless
GNSS reception
MEN’s new PX1 PCI Express Mini Card sup-
ports both GLONASS and GPS transmission
and in combination with the adequate carrier
card it makes a literally boundless usage of
wireless functions possible. The PX1 is the
perfect companion for uninterrupted, satel-
lite-based data transmission in trains, buses,
ships or airplanes, where requirements are
ever-growing. The PX1 is equipped with a
GNSS receiver (Global Navigation Satellite
System), which supports the globally accessible
satellite systems GPS and GLONASS (Russia).
Communication via the European counterpart
Galileo, which is supposed to be launched in
2014, and via the Chinese Compass system,
which will be made globally available in the
future, can also be implemented on the PX1.

Acrosser: in-vehicle computer with 3rd
Gen Intel Core processor
ACROSSER Technology introduced its latest
In-Vehicle computer product, the AIV-
HM76V0FL. The AIV-HM76V0FL is built for
handling rugged environments. To showcase
its high performance, we have created a small
experiment to prove its durability in difficult
situations. One fascinating feature of AIV-
HM76V0FL is its ability to support HDMI
video output. This outstanding feature would
satisfy those seeking for high-quality video
outputs. AIV-HM76V0FL is an outstanding
In-Vehicle solution for anything ranging from
commercial to security issues.

McObject: high availability database
integrated into photonics-based core router
McObject announced that Compass-EOS has
included /e/X/treme/DB High Availability in
the Compass-EOS r10004 core router, which
is the first shipping product to use optical
communication between line cards using sili-
con-to-photonics technology. This break-
through approach lends the device dramatically
greater speed and scalability, lower power con-
sumption, a smaller footprint and other bene-
fits for network operators whose hardware
provides the Internet’s backbone.

Micro Digital allows easy, direct connection
among WiFi devices
Micro Digital introduced WiFi Direct and
SoftAP for smxWiFi. These allow easy, direct
connection among WiFi devices, anywhere.
There is no need for an Access Point. Through
negotiation, one device becomes the Group
Owner and the other the client. Connection
is designed to be quick and easy, often with
just the push of a button. WiFi Direct and
SoftAP do not require addition of new hard-
ware, allowing existing smxWiFi users to add
them to their products with just a software
update.
