Adapter helps assess US homeland security
Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) is using the Performance Technologies communications products and software in simulation and testing applications designed for the US Government.
Redstone Arsenal is responsible for researching, developing, testing, purchasing, repairing and maintaining the high technology weapons used by American soldiers.
Redstone Arsenal is using Performance Technologies' PCI334A communications adapter and integrated X.25 protocol software in a database application that enables all branches of the US armed forces to draw information from a common source.
"The information in this database is tactical, meaning it reflects instantaneous conditions on the battlefield, rather than statistical data".
"The data is time-sensitive and must reach users quickly", said Joel Eakens, Senior Programmer at Redstone Arsenal.
"It is critical that the database maintain compatibility with all of the equipment deployed in the field".
"Performance Technologies is able to provide the compatibility necessary to ensure this database is continually in operation".
Performance Technologies' PCI334A intelligent synchronous WAN communications adapter and integrated X.25 protocol software provide four high performance synchronous/serial channels for WAN connectivity.
The adapter is ideally suited for use within high speed communication devices where accuracy and reliability of data are critical.
"Prior to the creation of this database, each branch of the US military was drawing on different sources for data".
"This database ensures that all branches are receiving the same up-to-date information needed to perform in the field", said Jean Pierre Filion, Vice President of Worldwide Sales for Performance Technologies.
"We are realising more and more interest from the military market, and we continue to design standards-based, high availability products to fit this important niche".
