BURNABY, BRITISH COLUMBIA - Spectrum Signal Processing by Vecima
(TSX:VCM) ("Spectrum"), trusted supplier to top defense prime
contractors worldwide for more than 20 years, today announced the
availability of an extremely powerful and flexible Linux-based
signal processing platform: the SDR-2010. The SDR-2010 is an
Intel(R) 64 Architecture Server hosting the new high-performance
PRO-2910 PCI Express based carrier cards, each with dual XMC/PMC
sites. This unique configuration gives all the flexibility and
processing power of an embedded signal processing system while using
an Intel(R)-based server or PC as the host. The PRO-2910 carrier and
the associated modules have already shipped to leading defense
clients. |

"The SDR-2010 allows our customers to reuse their existing IP in a
new, more powerful, Intel(R)-based signal processing platform," said
Douglas Fast, President of Spectrum. "This product demonstrates that
we remain committed to providing our customers with flexible, high
performance platforms that reduce their development time and cost."
The SDR-2010 features data rates of up to 400 MB/s between XMC sites
and PRO-2910 boards, multiple 8-lane PCIe Gen1 interfaces to the PC
motherboard, a high-speed communications fabric, and customizable
server features such as CPU, RAM, and high-speed disk options. The
SDR-2010 is also available in a ruggedized rackmount chassis for
deployment.
The PRO-2910 is a unique carrier card with flexible data routing
that can be used to interface to Spectrum's real-time FPGA, DSP, and
I/O processing engines into industry-standard Intel(R) computing
architectures. The module supports Spectrum Solano-based XMC modules
such as the XMC-1131 ADC and XMC-2131 DAC modules, as well as
third-party PMC modules.
The SDR-2010 and PRO-2910 are used in Electronic Warfare (EW),
Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) including wideband spectral analysis
and multi-channel direction finding, and Military Satellite
Communications (MILSATCOM) applications. These products allow
numerous combinations of FPGA, DSP and GPP signal processing devices
to support a wide range of software-reconfigurable applications.
