For a new antenna protection system for high performance transmitting stations, electronics company Rohde & Schwarz integrated a compact DIN rail PC as a key component. The modular, durable, and open x86 development platform combines the analysis of sensors connected via USB with the transmitter control via I/O interfaces.

For secure remote maintenance and diagnosis of machines and systems via the Internet, Innominate has developed a highly-available 19-inch network security solution, which is used in service centers as a high-end firewall and VPN gateway. There it handles the specific requirements for building VPNs and then maintains these secure virtual private network connections to remote industrial systems. Because this node is responsible for up to 1,000 simultaneous VPN connections, the highest availability requirements are placed on it. For this reason, server hardware from Kontron is utilized. It meets availability requirements that are usually only found in carrier-grade telecommunications platforms, but at industry-standard pricing.

Due to its extended temperature range, high reliability, and scalability a low power Intel® Pentium III and Pentium 4 up to 2,4 GHz based on a CompactPCI board from Kontron have been chosen to realize the next generation of cellular phone network. TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) is a standard defined by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). This Digital Radio System contributes higher privacy, better audio quality and improves the speed in data transmission and the capacity of access to other nets, like Internet, fixed phone nets. The use of the radio communications based on the standard TETRA, is mainly guided toward professional users that need a high specialization and reliability in its communications (e.g. police, fire department), with an inferior cost than the GSM system.vOur customer is developing a TETRA-based product range including mobile and dispatcher terminals, a 2nd generation handheld, a low cost RF TETRA modem and local/regional coverage infrastructure.

For the management of leased lines powerful computer systems with a high degree of availability have to be applied. In this range our engineers developed a system concept of a highly compact computer platform. A 64 bit capable CompactPCI architecture with a SPARC CPU under Solaris 8 has been selected. For optimum connectivity the design supports up to 26 Ethernet ports plus two separate SCSI buses and the specific extensions NVRAM and tempterature monitoring and shutdown. Beside the system concept, Kontron Applications provided the entire driver development, documentation, and certification. As an OEM-partner Kontron Applications delivers the systems after a 100% testing directly to the end customers.

Kontron's webserver you are vistiting right now is a two Kontron standard CP6000 (1.6 GHz Pentium-M) blade failover system from our CompactPCI series. As you are experiencing right now, this system is a ultra high performance and high availability hardware and software setup. With Gentoo Linux (kernel 2.6.14-r2), Apache2, MySQL and PHP, we were able to set up a well balanced system which offers high capacity and high performance at minimal cost.

There are two identical CP6000 running simultaneously in a master-backup-mode. In the unlikely case of a master blade hardware failure, the backup blade will take over all services within two seconds and hands them back to the master blade as soon as it is up again. To provide constant data consistency, all data is being stored through a distributed file system (DRBD) which writes on both machines simultaneously. This guarantees 100% identical information on both blades and avoids inconsistencies in case of switching. An outage of the master blade will not even be noticed by the visitors on our web site.

Go ahead, surf this web site and convince yourself of our CP6000 performance and reliability!

The Blueslice carrier-grade, open modular HLR supports a database scalable to several million subscriber profiles in a small 12U footprint, with no single point of failure in both hardware and software. With features that specifically target the MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) market, the Blueslice ngHLR 3000™ supports VoIP/WiFi, 3G, and IMS in the same platform, and is compliant with GSM Phase 2+ Release 4, and 3GPP R5/R6. As an open, non-proprietary platform designed with Kontron AdvancedTCA processor, switch, and chassis building blocks, the ngHLR 3000™ is changing the HLR paradigm for mobile operators.

The Mediation Device is an intelligent System for Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) of a leading Telecom supplier.

For the manangement of distributed net elements the various data flows have to be acquired and conditioned. HDLC, X.25, ISDN and Ethernet are the interfaces that allows the communication with the various networks. The system platform is an 19" rackmount embedded system.

The Kontron engineers provided the design and realization of the entire system with development of the peripheral hardware and certification of the system. Moreover Kontron developed the basic runtime software, drivers and protocol software with asynchronous and HDLC protocols. The delivery to the customer includes the whole system with testing and a customer specific packaging.
