Carlo Gavazzi Computing Solutions Announces New 3U VPX Backplane

Latest bus and serial fabric innovation ensures long technology cycle
Brockton, Mass. – Carlo Gavazzi Computing Solutions, an innovative leader in electronic packaging and system expansion solutions, announces its 6-slot 3U VPX Ruggedized Enhanced Design Implementation (REDI) backplane for military and aerospace applications. A commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution, the VPX REDI backplane offers high-bandwidth in a compact size and integrates the latest VITA 46 and 48 standards with the proven legacy capabilities of VMEbus technology.

The VPX REDI backplane from Carlo Gavazzi Computing Solutions can be customized with multiple configurations for each unique embedded, development, testing, or measurement application. Available with rear I/O, the backplane is designed to accommodate a large volume of high-speed I/O and switch fabric connections.

When coupled with Carlo Gavazzi Computing Solutions’ standard or customized ATR rugged enclosures that feature convection, conduction or air-over conduction cooling solutions and full mesh backplane support, the VPX REDI backplane is ideal for deployment in harsh military applications. The new 716 Series conduction-cooled ATR enclosures is an ideal pairing for the 3U VPX REDI backplane.

Addressing the needs of users deploying custom boards for specialized applications, Carlo Gavazzi Computing Solutions’ custom hybrid backplanes can accommodate VME64, VXS and VPX boards.
