Tech Upgrade Programs Tap the Benefits of VME, VPX and cPCI
COTS Journal
August 2011
"Fitting the needs of many long design cycle military programs, VME and CompactPCI shine as upgradable slot-card technologies. New choices like VPX and CompactPCI Serial are meanwhile finding ways to provide smooth pathways to higher bandwidths."
The COTS Dilemma
EETimes
August 2011
"We all know the upside, of course - high availability, fast delivery, low cost - but the same market forces that create these advantages have also introduced serious disadvantages when the components are used in other markets. COTS components are subject to the consumer electronics regulatory environment."
AIT's COTS products are used only in the Military & Aerospace Sector and our custom systems are built on field-proven modules.
Deterministic Version of Ethernet Offers Real-Time Performance at Low Risk
COTS Journal
June 2011
"Leveraging the low-risk established infrastructure of Ethernet has many benefits. But by adding deterministic capability to the technology, military system designs reap the best of both worlds."
AIT's Deterministic TTEthernet products are compliant with IEEE 802.3, IEEE 1588, ARINC 664 Part 7 and SAE AS6802, making them ideal for integration with legacy programs.
Ethernet Emerges as Mature Choice among High Speed Interconnects
COTS Journal
April 2011
"Meeting needs for both networking and fabric interconnect requirements, switched Ethernet has become entrenched as the 'no lose' choice for next-generation military systems."

Conduction-Cooled cPCI Provides Here and Now Solutions
COTS Journal
February 2011
"Entrenched now as one of the mainstay form factor options for embedded military computing, CompactPCI continues to maintain a solid market niche. Like VME, cPCI now enjoys a wide set of board-level solutions."
Microprocessors or FPGAs?: Making the Right Choice
RTC Magazine
February 2011
"The 'right choice' is not always either/or. The right choice can be to combine the best of both worlds by analyzing which strengths of FPGA and CPU best fit the different demands of the application."
XMCs and PrXMCs Fuel High-Speed Throughput and Processing
COTS Journal
December 2010
"The natural successors to the popular PMCs and PrPMCs, today's XMCs and Processor-based PrXMCs offer fabric-based interconnects suited for high-speed processing."
