CWCEC keeps cool.

A new Intel Pentium M processor-based Single Board Computer (SBC) from Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing (CWCEC) was designed for the demanding military application environment where high performance is plagued by high heat. The new PMA provides up to 1.4 GHz of processing power in a single-slot 6U VME/ VME64x form factor and reduces heat dissipation via a low-power processor and advanced cooling hardware. This reduces the power consumption requirements of the host processor board. The PMA is rated to withstand up to 40 G shock and 0.15 g2/Hz vibration and to operate in the -40[degrees] C to 71[degrees] C ambient temperature spectrum. In an unrelated event, CWCEC has also launched its new Extensions Partner Product programme which is designed to ease the integration of embedded systems by ensuring hardware and software interoperability with third-party products.
