SubscribeDDC's Gigabit Ethernet Card takes off in bomber program.
Data Device Corporation (DDC), a leading international supplier of high-reliability data interface products announces the production release of its next-generation ET-71000 GigExtreme Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Network Access Controller (NAC).
Featuring DDC's TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) technology, the extended-temperature NAC is currently being implemented in a USAF bomber upgrade program. By offloading the entire TCP/IP stack, DDC's ET-71000 series TOE reduces host utilization to less than 5%, compared to 50% or higher processor loading experienced with standard Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
A transparent host driver implemented using a standard TCP/IP socket interface, enables operation of the ET-71000 without modification to the network application. The cards are conduction-cooled, with front and rear panel network interface options, operate over a wide 40° to +85 C° temperature range, and feature a dual-redundant architecture. "GigExtreme was designed from the ground up for embedded military applications and does not use up-screened commercial components," states DDC's Product Manager, Steve Rood Goldman.
DDC's co-processor architecture and host socket driver implementation make the ET-71000 series ideal for military programs upgrading their network to Gigabit Ethernet. Data Device Corporation (DDC) is recognized as a leading international supplier of high-reliability data interface products for military and commercial aerospace applications for over 40 years and MIL-STD-1553 products for more than 25 years.
DDC's broad product line consists of advanced data bus technology for high-speed Ethernet and Fibre Channel networks, MIL-STD-1553 data bus boards/components, synchro/resolver technologies, and solid-state power controllers and motor drives. The company's design and manufacturing facility is located in Bohemia, NY.
