EKF: XMC module carrier
The CK2-SESSION is a peripheral slot board for PICMG CompactPCI
Classic systems and acts as carrier card for a XMC-style mezzanine
module. XMC modules can be considered as an improved replacement
for PMC modules. While using the same form factor as PMC cards,
XMC modules are provided with a PCI Express interface.
Sealevel: single-port PCI Express serial I/O adapters
Sealevel Systems releases two new single-port PCI Express serial I/O
adapters designed for avionics, satellite, radar, and other applications that
require robust synchronous communications. Both boards use the popular
Zilog Z85230 Enhanced Serial Communications Controller (ESCC) for
maximum compatibility with a variety of interfaces and protocols.
Eurotech: M2M Integration Platform to enable
Satellite Technology
Eurotech announces the Satellite Applications Catapult, a UK government-
funded technology innovation centre, has purchased a suite of Eurotech’s
multi service gateway devices and the Everyware Cloudmachine-to-machine
integration platform to provide new businesses and entrepreneurs with the
infrastructure to develop and test new technology and applications.
Kontron: Cab-n-Connect wireless access point selected by Row 44
Kontron announced that its Cab-n-Connect Wireless Access Point has
been selected by Row 44 for its high-speed Wi-Fi installations. Kontron
is already the exclusive provider of Server Management Units and the
Modem Data Units to Row 44 for its In-Flight Broadband System de-
ployments with its customers, including Southwest Airlines, Norwegian
s.
DFI: Mini-ITX with AMD R-series APU supports multiple
expansion
DFI announces a new embedded Mini-ITX motherboard, the CM100-
C, which is powered by the Quad-core and Dual-core AMD R-Series
Accelerated Processing Units, including R-464L, R-460H, R-272F and
R-268D, featuring 32-nanometer process technology with the cost-effi-
cient AMD A70M Fusion Controller Hub.
ADLINK: PC/104 single board with full ISA bus support
ADLINK released its newest PC/104 form factor single board computer
offering, the CM1-86DX2, featuring an extensive I/O feature set and
full ISA bus support. The CM1-86DX2 is ideal for control applications
that require power efficiency, small form factor, longevity and industrial
grade ruggedness. Based on DMP’s Vortex86-DX2 single chip solution
which integrates a powerful yet efficient CPU with graphics controller,
audio controller and many other functionalities, the CM1-86DX2 pro-
vides all the standard peripheral connections of an embedded PC on a
ith dimensions of 96 x 90 mm.
N.A.T. acquired assets of former MicroBlade
N.A.T. announce the acquisition of the assets of former MicroBlade,
effective since July 15th, 2013. MicroBlade have been a key supplier for
MicroTCA infrastructure products such as 19” chassis (Microbox) and
MicroTCA compliant DC (Panther) and AC (Puma) power modules,
holding several patents and rights on these products. Because of the
complementary product portfolios both companies entered into a re-
ciprocal distributorship agreement in 2009. This allowed N.A.T. to
supply complete turn-key solutions to customers satisfying their needs
for an sophisticated open standard platform.
The CPS3003-SA processor board is equipped with the highest perform-
ance-capable Intel core i7 processors of the third-generation as well as the
Mobile Intel QM77 Express PCH. Customers can make use of different
versions from the power loss-optimized 1.7 GHz Dual-Core version of
the 2.1 GHz Quad-Core for the highest performance requirements.
The CPS3003-SA offers in addition, an even wider advantage as it
enables hybrid system designs to be implemented together with the
classic CompactPCI. Users can relatively easily transfer their systems
into a serial world without having to take existing CompactPCI
peripheral cards out of service. Equally attractive is the new CompactPCI
Serial carrier for XMC modules, which enables developers to fall back
on the complete range of industrial XMC-cards. There is an XMC
module for graphic or image processing, applications, various legacy
I/Os, field buses and specific industrial Ethernet versions or even
FPGA-based solutions. This diversity and flexibility also makes possible
the highest application-specific high-performance systems by
implementing standard components that are already on the market.
