The TinyATOM is a highly integrated single board computer on the PCI/104-Express stackable form factor. The TinyATOM is powered by a 4th Generation Intel® Atom™ processor and offers a range of expansion options ideal for building high performance, rugged embedded systems.

The TinyATOM is an industry standard PCI/104-Express form factor and offers both PCI Express and traditional 32bit PCI interfaces. The TinyATOM has 4Gbytes of DDR3 SDRAM and an on-board 8Gbyte solid state eMMC Flash drive for application and data storage. Off board data storage can be achieved using either the high speed SATA drive interface or the USB 3.0 port. Dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces provide extensive connectivity options. A single miniPCIe slot completes the expansion options and allows wireless Ethernet or high speed mobile broadband to be easily added to an embedded system.

The TinyATOM is supported by Windows and Linux.

SWI-22-10

The SWI-22-10 is a rugged Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) Gigabit Ethernet switch card optimized for Size, Weight and Power (SwaP) sensitive embedded military and civilian computer network systems applications. Featuring advanced Layer 2 networking features with up to 20 ports of 10/100/1000Mbps connectivity, an integrated management processor, low power consumption, and robust carrier Ethernet software features, the SWI-22-10 enables reliable local area network (LAN) switching across extended operating temperature ranges (-40 to +85C) and extreme shock/vibration for technology refresh and new system designs. With a compact PCI/104-Express form factor (approx. 3.6” x 3.8”) featuring either eight (8) or twenty (20) ports of 1000BaseT Ethernet, the SWI-22-10 is one of the smallest rugged Gigabit Ethernet switches available and an ideal solution for connecting a large number of IP-enabled embedded devices, including computers, cameras, sensors, and command-and-control equipment deployed in manned and unmanned system platforms at the network edge.

This fully managed Layer 2 switch card supports IPv4 and IPv6 multicast traffic, Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs), port control (speed / mode / statistics, flow control), Quality of Service (QoS) traffic prioritization, Link Aggregation (802.3ad), SNMPv1/v2/v3 management, secure authentication (802.1X, ACLs, Web/CLI), redundancy (RSTP/MSTP), precision timing (IEEE-1588v2), port monitoring, IGMP Snooping, and data zeroization. The unit also supports Layer 3 IPv4 / IPv6 unicast static routing for IP routing to attached WAN / radio ports. The SWI-22-10 is designed to integrate with open-architecture PCI-104, PCIe104, PC/104-Plus, PCI/104-Express, EPIC, or EBX systems, as well as non-PC/104 embedded systems, while flexibly supporting either CAT5e cabling or cableless (board-to-board) termination of the Ethernet signals. The SWI-22-10 is available as a standalone card or pre-integrated into the DuraNET 20-10 switch subsystem. The board can also be integrated by Curtiss-Wright into other rugged enclosures and/or combined with PC/104-based DuraMAR mobile routers or DuraCOR mission computers subsystems.

Rugged PC/104 and EBX Enclosure * VersaTainer (VT104)

The VersaTainer (VT104) is a rugged PC/104 and EBX enclosure systems constructed of .125° aluminum and designed for hostile and mobile environments. It features a dual system of shock and vibration isolation which comprises of internal rubber corner rails absorb high-frequency vibrations, while the entire enclosure is mounted on the host platform with a thick rubber pad which absorbs low-frequency G-forces. The rubber pad may be removed for optional mounting solutions such as hard mounting, flange endcap, or fluidic mount assembly.

The VersaTainer is capable of housing PC/104 and EBX payloads. For PC/104, the stack mounts axially along the entire length of the enclosure body. For EBX, An optional EBX mounting plate (VT-EBX) is available to mount the SBC to be horizontally with ample room for several PC/104 accessory cards to be installed. Accessory modules such as hard drives larger than 3.550" x 3.775" can be mounted to an optional septum plate that installs vertically into rails that run the length of the enclosure. For smaller items, an optional PC/104-size aluminum plate allows for direct mounting in the PC/104 stack.

The VersaTainer cross section measures 7.10" wide by 5.70" high (not including mounting pad) and is available in standard lengths from 4" to 12" and custom lengths up to 48". Each VersaTainer is available as a kit complete with endcaps and mounting accessories. Additional blank and pre-designed endcaps are available from stock. For customer designed faceplates, a downloadable DWG file is available at www.tri-m.com. The VersaTainer and its standard accessories are RoHS compliant.

Application areas
Instrumentation, data collectors, remote terminals, SCADA packages or other solutions to operate in hostile environments
