Aitech Expands Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switches Line with New Versions

Aitech Defense Systems a provider of embedded and mission critical computing technologies has added upgraded versions to its line of rugged, managed Gigabit Ethernet switches. The company serves the needs of environmentally-demanding military, defense, aerospace and industrial applications.


The company now offers managed Gigabit Ethernet switches in 6U VPX (C670), 3U VPX (C680) and XMC (M620) formats besides the original 6U CompactPCI (News - Alert) (C660) version. The switches are rugged and designed to deliver reliable operation even in all sorts of rugged environments, said officials.

Also the switch products offer support to the same protocols and network services. They feature a simple HTML browser-based interface which helps users manage their networks optimally. The Marvell (News - Alert) Prestera 98DX4122 multi-layer switch packet controller enables the switches to perform Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing and switching.

Several board management devices including power controllers, elapsed time recorders and temperature sensors besides monitoring devices for CPU, port and TCAM utilization are included among the switches.

The Aitech GbE switch family encompasses highly integrated products such as cPCI GigE Switches, GbE ports, base-T ports, SERDES ports, fast Ethernet ports, 10 GbE XAUI Ports, GigE Switches and so on.

The switches are especially designed for use in rugged environments and are based on an integrated low power ARM (News - Alert)-compatible Sheeva CPU core.  The CPU core operates at 800MHz which functions as a service processor. It interfaces to a high speed DDRII-320 MHz memory controller.

The ports provide auto-negotiation and auto MDI (News - Alert)/MDIX support besides enabling head of line (HOL) blocking prevention in addition to VLAN and port mirroring. The GbE switches are available in five software compatible environmental build-grades namely air-cooled commercial; air-cooled rugged; conduction-cooled rugged; full military air-cooled and full military conduction-cooled.

In November 2013, Aitech released a 3U VPX GPGPU that combines exceptional processing and high data throughput capabilities with a rugged design ideal for C4ISR and advanced sensor processing. GPGPUs are ideal for performing parallel processing and high-bandwidth image processing, serving as dedicated math co-processors for advanced digital signal processing and embedded computing subsystems.
