• 22 ports x4 Serial RapidIO (18 payload ports, 4 inter-switch ports)

• Up to 3.125Gbits/second per lane

• Six ruggedization levels

• Optimum support for AXIS Advanced Multiprocessor Integrated Software

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA November 27, 2007 In line with the companys strategy of developing the broadest range of high performance multiprocessing solutions for the 6U VME architecture, GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms today announced the CRX800, which is the worlds first VXS (VITA41.2) compliant Serial RapidIO managed switch card. Designed to provide optimal support for VXS multi board applications – using the GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms DSP220 VXS quad 8641 processor (announced concurrently) or alternative multiprocessor systems – the CRX800 offers eighteen x4 Serial RapidIO (sRIO) payload ports, four x4 sRIO inter-switch ports and a PowerPC MPC8548 management processor which supports 128Mbytes of Flash memory and 256Mbytes of SDRAM for unsurpassed data throughput at up to 3.125GHz per lane.

The CRX800, which is designed for a wide range of deployed signal- and data processing applications for land-mobile, airborne fixed- and rotary wing, and naval surface and underwater platforms, is available in six ruggedization levels including air-, spray- and conduction-cooled for extended temperature operation as well as resistance to shock and vibration.

“For customers wanting to leverage the performance potential of serial switched fabrics in multiprocessing applications, but who are unable or unwilling to make the transition to VPX, the VXS-based CRX800 managed Serial RapidIO switch offers very attractive price/performance, especially in combination with the DSP220,” said Peter Cavill, General Manager, Military and Aerospace Products at GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms. “They offer compelling, leading edge throughput, but represent the minimal risk of a COTS solution that is based on the pervasive and mature VME ecosystem.”
