New 3U, Single-Slot CompactPCI® Interface Card Provides Reliable Communications in Wireless Applications
AMBLER, Pa. - March 2007 - MEN Micro, Inc., a world-renown provider of embedded computing and I/O solutions for demanding industrial, mobile and harsh environment applications, has released a 3U, single-slot CompactPCI® interface card equipped with a highly sensitive, 12-channel parallel GPS receiver and a GSM device for exceptional communications in very low-signal strength applications. The GPS and GSM devices are optically isolated from other functions for increased reliability.
The new F210 GPS/GSM/UART interface card supports the GSM 850, EGSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900 frequency bands, as well as the NMEA 0183 protocol. This makes the board ideal for a variety of wireless communication applications, such as transmitting, tracking and acquiring data in mobile communications and in the railway industry. The new board also features an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F) and a conformal coating for use in harsh environments.
The four HP, 32-bit/33 MHz F210 incorporates two SA-AdapterT slots for serial interfaces with RS232, RS422, or RS485 line drivers, either with or without optical isolation.
It can accommodate three additional SA-Adapters for user-defined functions, such as more serial interfaces or for fieldbus interfaces including CAN bus and IBIS that can be implemented as IP cores in an on-board FPGA.
Reverse SMA connectors provide the physical interface to the external GPS and GSM antennae.
Pricing for the F210 is $1,719. It will be available in June 2007, and delivery will be two weeks ARO.
