Concurrent Technologies Plc Product launch drives new technology initiative

Concurrent Technologies Plc ("Concurrent") a world leading specialist in the design and manufacture of high-end embedded computer products announces the launch of its FX 210/018 a new Switched-Fabric Board to complement its VME product range. Concurrent will use this new product as part of a new initiative directed towards customers in internet telephony systems, data management as well as defence and industrial customers.

A Switched-Fabric Board allows nodes on the computer boards to inter-connect and inter-communicate with one another at very high speeds. This multiple interconnection is the "Fabric" in Switched-Fabric. The board operates at a very high level of reliability in that if a connection fails, data can traverse alternate paths.

The FX 210/018 is an embedded 1000Mbps switching platform, providing a cost effective, low power solution for inter-board communications. Typically consuming less than 16 Watts it supports eighteen payload boards, an inter-switch link and up to four Ethernet ports on the front panel.

Glen Fawcett, Managing Director, commented:

"We continue to drive forward our new product plans which we view as being key to maintaining a competitive edge. Our dynamic approach to technology positions us as a driver in the industry."
