Diversified Technology, Inc. Introduces New PICMG 2.16 Blade for Military and Communications Networks
DTI's cPB-4610 Single Board Computer offers multiple options for the growing Packet Switched Backplane market.
RIDGELAND, MS - January 19, 2004 - Diversified Technology, Inc. announced today the release of the cPB-4610 Pentium® M cPCI Blade expanding its line of PICMG® 2.16 products targeted at OEMs developing high performance products for commercial and military networks. The cPB-4610 is compliant with the PICMG® 2.16 standard and optimizes system bandwidth featuring a 400Mhz Front Side Bus (FSB) for use in Packet Switched Backplane platforms.
"With its single slot form factor and the ruggedized/conduction cooled options, the cBP-4610 delivers a space saving, durable solution for multiple environments," commented Mike Dempsey, DTI's CTO. "Intel's Pentium M processor offers the performance required for intense, real time computing and eliminates thermal risks associated with high power, space limited footprints."
About the cPB-4610
The cPB-4610 comes with a low power Intel® Pentium® M Processor with 1MB and 2MB L2 cache, 855PM chipset with 400MHz front side bus, and 256MB or 512MB ECC DDR200/266 SDRAM memory configuration options. Processor speed options for the 1MB L2 cache include 1.1Ghz (Ultra low voltage), 1.6Ghz and 1.7Ghz. Processor speeds options for the 2MB L2 cache configuration are 1.6Ghz, 1.7Ghz and 1.8Ghz. Onboard are one 10/100Mbits/sec Ethernet auto-negotiating controller, SCSI controller, MiniIDE flash drive, two 32-bit/33MHz PMC sites, PS/2 keyboard and mouse interfaces, Universal Serial Bus (USB) and serial ports and a floppy interface.
The board may only be used as a system master processor blade in a 2.16-compliant Packet Switched Backplane (PSB) environment. Three levels of ruggedization are available on the cPB-4610 processor blade including "industrial (0-55C / 12g shock), "rugged" (0-55C / 20g shock) and rugged conduction cooled (-40/55 to 85C without airflow/ 100g shock).
As part of DTI's PlexSys family of PSB products, the cPB-4610 processor blade is validated with DTI's cPS-4081 4U general purpose, carrier grade computing platform with cSB-4220 Ethernet level 2/3 switch. Also included is ATA/100 application software for shorter boot times and faster I/O rates, and a programmable two-stage watchdog timer for enhanced system reliability and a 2-year limited warranty.
The cPB-4610 system/peripheral processor blade is a cost effective choice for application developers addressing high performance, converging Telecom and Internet IP-based markets such as VPN switchers, media gateways, 2.5G/3G wireless, server clusters, IP DSLAM and voice/video/data servers. The additional ruggedization and conduction cooled options support COTS requirements for hardened solutions.
Pricing and Availability
OEM pricing for the cPB-4610 processor blade, excluding memory, starts at $2,165 with a 1.7GHz, 1Mb cache Intel® Pentium® M processor. Production shipments begin in February 2004.
