( BW)(VA-GE-FANUC-EMBEDDED)(GE) GE Fanuc Embedded Systems Announces First New Gigabit Ethernet Products In Neternity(TM)/OpenWare(TM) Family Of Embedded Switches RM921, RM922RC and CP921RC first to support OpenWare(TM) switch management environment Business Editors CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 3, 2007--Demonstrating the company's commitment to providing solutions that are both backward compatible with existing infrastructures and forward compatible with emerging requirements, GE Fanuc Embedded Systems today announced three new products in the company's recently-announced Neternity(TM) family. The new products, which are fully managed layer 2/3+ Gigabit Ethernet switches and designed to handle the demanding requirements of a broad range of applications including military, telecommunications and commercial, are the Neternity(TM) RM921 6U VME switch; the ROHS-compliant Neternity(TM) RM922RC 6U VME switch; and the Neternity(TM) CP921RC ROHS-compliant PICMG 2.16 6U CompactPCI switch. All three switches support 24 copper ports, with the RM921 being optionally available with 12 ports, and are characterized by their support of IPv4 for legacy communications environments and hardware enabled IPv6 for future applications. (IPv6 is mandated by the US Department of Defense for all programs from 2008.) Conformal coating is an option for all three boards. The three new products are the first in the Neternity(TM) family to feature the OpenWare(TM) switch management environment. OpenWare(TM) is portable across switch fabrics and processor environments, is easy to customize using the familiar Linux command line interface and is designed to make selected GE Fanuc Embedded Systems Neternity(TM) switches easy to deploy and easy to manage. Switch management is also possible via remote access or using a management protocol such as SNMP. "Our line of fully managed IPv6-enabled switches brings cost-effective high-speed network connectivity a wide range of challenging applications," said Rubin Dhillon, Communications Product Manager for GE Fanuc Embedded Systems. "With our experience, knowledge and design practices, we have crafted Neternity Ethernet switches that deliver exceptional performance while operating in demanding environments." Neternity(TM) RM921 The Neternity(TM) RM921 is an IPv6-enabled 6U VME fully managed layer 2/3+ Gigabit Ethernet switch with either 12 front I/O (single slot solution) or 24 front I/O ports (dual slot solution). It also offers support of IPv4. Port configuration can be all copper, all fiber or combinations of both. Also optionally available are 100BaseFX ports so that both 100BaseFX and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces can be supported on the same Network Interface Card, a valuable feature for organizations migrating from 100 Mbit applications to 1000 Mbit applications. An industrial temperature version is available. Neternity(TM) RM922RC The Neternity(TM) RM922RC is an ROHS-compliant IPv6-enabled 6U VME fully managed layer 2/3 Gigabit Ethernet switch with 24 copper ports (single slot solution) via rear I/O. Neternity(TM) CP921RC The Neternity(TM) CP921RC is an ROHS-compliant PICMG 2.16 6U CompactPCI fully managed layer 2/3 Gigabit Ethernet switch with 24 copper ports, and is hot-swappable, minimizing potential system downtime. It is also compliant with PICMG 2.1 and PICMG 2.9.
