Title: Release Date Description
daqNet - A Better Way to Build a Data Acquisition System March 2007 With the release of the daqNet, Abaco Systems has advanced the state of the art on all fronts – greater fidelity and accuracy of acquired data, improved channel density, a bus architecture which relies on the ubiquitous Ethernet standard, and, most importantly, simplified system integration. daqNet is a 1U, network attached, data acquisition server supporting up to 192 channels of analog input. A complete sub-system, the daqNet comes complete with its own chassis and integrated power supply, with configuration information and acquired data being sent via a dual redundant Gbit Ethernet link. Configuration options allow for many combinations of analog and/or digital I/O, making it a suitable choice for a wide variety of sonar, test and measurement, and other acoustic applications.
Real Time Ethernet January 2006 To many readers, the idea that Ethernet could ever be used for real-time applications is a contradiction in terms. Ethernet is famously unreliable because it does not establish a unique, dedicated connection between one sender and one receiver. Unless a dedicated connection can be introduced into this chaos, Ethernet has no role in real-time networking. This paper describes an innovative way to overcome this inherent limitation of Ethernet.
Mezzanine Cards Increase System Flexibility May 2005 Although PCI mezzanine cards (PMCs) were targeted for CompactPCI® (cPCI) and VME systems, they can be used on any form factor that provides the mechanical, electrical and signaling requirements. For example, Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture, or AdvancedTCA® carrier boards—designed for the telecommunications and data center markets—often include PMC slots to take advantage of the design flexibility of existing PMC products. In addition, a new mezzanine card, the AdvancedMC®, originally designed for AdvancedTCA systems is also being utilized on other systems.
Using Modular Building Blocks in Wireless Networks May 2005 Published here with permission from Intel®, this paper describes how telecommunications companies can accelerate the rollout of new wireless technologies and services using Intel® building blocks in standards-based modular communications platforms. This approach enables a consistent architecture and a common set of hardware and software components to be used across the network, from access to core. It can dramatically accelerate time-to-market, and it enables carrier-grade solutions that are more flexible, scalable and affordable than traditional, proprietary platforms.
