Parvus Releases Rugged 5-Port PC/104 Fast Ethernet Switch with Port-Based VLAN Support
Parvus Introduces Military Grade Embedded Switch for Net-Centric Operations
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH - September 19, 2006 - Parvus Corporation today introduced the
PRV-1059 VLAN-enabled 5-Port PC/104 Ethernet Switch, which has been designed and tested to MIL-STD-810F. This rugged network switch features very low power consumption (1.5 watts) and highly reliable extended-temperature operation up to +85°C (185°F). Supporting auto-MDI-MDIX network installation, the board is designed for simple plug-and-play operation, enabling up to five embedded computing devices to be networked together using 10BaseT or 100BaseTX Local Area Network (LAN) connections.
Field programmable, port-based VLAN functionality is now supported. This feature enables any combination of ports to be connected together in subnets for use in a small secure or non-secure network. Fully IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u compliant, its five transceiver ports are flexibly designed so that any port can serve as an uplink. The module can either be used as a standalone network switch (no processor board required) or in combination with embedded systems that support a PC/104 (ISA) bus.
The card integrates fully independent media access controllers (MACs), an embedded frame buffer memory, and a high-speed address look-up engine, along with support for auto-crossover, auto-polarity, auto-negotiation, and bridge loop prevention.
The compact PRV-1059 switch is ideally suited to space-constrained, high reliability aviation, industrial, military, and transportation applications where extreme temperature and high shock/vibration exist. The unit is only 3.550" x 3.775" (90x96 mm) in size. All versions include mounting holes to facilitate simple installation, as well as support for local or remote monitoring of LED activity for data RX/TX and connectivity.
PRICING & AVAILABILITY
The PRV-1059 switch has a list price of $199 for base models and $249 for models with VLAN support. Non-RoHS and RoHS compliant (lead-free) versions are available from stock to 6 weeks.
