Concurrent Technologies Plc
(the "Company" or the "Group")
Launch of next-generation rugged embedded computing products
Concurrent Technologies Plc (AIM: CNC), a designer and manufacturer of leading-edge computer products, systems, and mission-critical solutions used in high-performance markets by some of the world's major OEMs, today announces the launch of a new family of rugged embedded computing cards based on Intel's newly announced Core™ Ultra Processor (Series 3) architecture.
Designed for defence, aerospace, national infrastructure and industrial applications, the new products support workloads including mission computing, sensor processing and high‑bandwidth data handling, AI‑assisted edge analytics, and long‑life platform refresh programmes.
The new products include:
· | Eir, a new 3U OpenVPX processor board, designed to deliver significantly increased computing performance for new and next-generation VPX systems, supporting customers as they refresh and upgrade deployed architectures. |
· | Hermes II, a SOSA®-aligned 3U VPX processor card designed for data-intensive workloads requiring high-bandwidth connectivity. |
· | Magni II, a compute-focused SOSA-aligned 3U VPX processor card designed for demanding workloads including AI-enabled edge processing and real-time analytics. |
· | Caelus, a next-generation VME processor card designed to support performance upgrades and lifecycle extension for long-running platforms, with expected availability to at least 2035. |
Hermes II and Magni II include a dedicated hardware-based secure enclave, providing enhanced protection for sensitive data and meeting the rigorous security requirements of mission-critical defence and aerospace programmes.
The products are being announced alongside Intel's launch of its next generation processor platform, the Panther Lake chipset, reinforcing the Company's ability to bring innovative products to market as early as possible.
Miles Adcock, CEO of Concurrent Technologies, said: "These new products demonstrate our strategic focus on delivering high-performance computing solutions that are closely aligned with customer requirements. By expanding our SOSA-aligned VPX portfolio, revitalising our existing VPX and VME range, and integrating next-generation processor technology early, we are providing customers with clear upgrade paths, long-term lifecycle support, and the hardware-level security increasingly required in mission-critical programmes.
"The simultaneous launch of multiple new products also reflects the increased pace of innovation within the Group as we continue to broaden our portfolio to support future revenue growth."
