San Diego CA -- November 14, 2005 – Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing has introduced the PGE2, a new dual-port Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) PMC card. Powered by an Intel 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller, the PGE2 is fully compatible with legacy 10/100BASE-TX networks and simplifies the addition of GigE networking into existing VME, CompactPCI or PCI embedded systems.

“Gigabit Ethernet is quickly moving onto Defense and Aerospace platforms,” said Lynn Patterson, vice president and general manager of Modular Solutions, Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing. “The PGE2 is ideal for embedded system designers who want high bandwidth data communications, but don't want to waste valuable slots.”

This new GigE PMC card is available in both air-cooled and conduction-cooled versions. The air-cooled PGE2 comes with a standard operating temperature of 0° to +50° C. It supports either single or dual 10/100/1000BaseTX using standard RJ-45 Connectors or optical 1000BaseLX interfaces with LC-type fiber connectors.

An extended-temperature air-cooled range version is also available, and operates at -40° to +71° C, using forced air cooling. The conduction-cooled version of the card is specified for operation over a range of -40° to +85°C and provides support for single or dual 10/100/1000BaseTX interfaces for host board backplane connections.

Software support for the PGE2 includes Intel's software drivers for Linux 2.2x and 2.4x operating environments and WindRiver's VxWorks drivers for the Tornado development platform.
