DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory Controller Software, Remote Command Interface SBS Technologies SBS Technologies, Inc., (Nasdaq: SBSE) founded in 1986, designed and built open architecture embedded computer products that enable original equipment manufacturers to serve the commercial, communication and government markets. SBS was headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico. (R) (Nasdaq:SBSE SBSE Society of Building Science Educators ), a leading provider of embedded computing technology, today announced a partnership with TelTron Telemetry Systems Corporation, the premier supplier of integrated, ground-based telemetry systems for missile, test range, laboratory, and flight test environments. Under the agreement, SBS will continue to supply TelTron with embedded components that are an integral part of the company's telemetry systems. In turn, TelTron will allow SBS to purchase and resell its full product line of integrated telemetry systems to its own customers, many of whom are prime contractors or subcontractors for missile and flight test projects as well as other government agencies. "The SBS/TelTron relationship has been on going for a long time, formalizing this relationship now brings two of the telemetry industry leaders together for the benefit of our customers," said Frank Willis, Vice President of Government Business Development for SBS Technologies. "SBS' involvement in the telemetry market goes back even further, with SBS selling telemetry components to that industry for more than a decade. Today, many of our customers have said they don't have the time to build their own systems from components -- they want fully integrated systems. To that end, our partnership with TelTron will enable SBS to offer those customers out-of-the-box telemetry systems for important Defense projects, and more." "We have a strong commitment to SBS," said Randy Younger, President of TelTron. "We've chosen SBS embedded products for our telemetry systems because of the company's solid reputation in the telemetry market. And now we look forward to offering our mutual customers cutting-edge telemetry products, service, and support." Typical Telemetry Applications Telemetry solutions, which transmit data captured by instrumentation and measuring devices This is an incomplete list of measuring devices. word Measures accelerometer acceleration actinometer heating power of sunlight alcoholometer alcoholic strength of liquids altimeter altitude ammeter electric current, amperage to a remote station where it is recorded and analyzed, are often high profile, government projects. TelTron telemetry systems are deployed by defense contractors to test, monitor, and perform launch "go/no-go" decisions. Some customers employ TelTron telemetry systems to process, reduce and distribute telemetry data throughout the project test and analysis community. Board Level Products Historically, SBS Technologies has designed and manufactured embedded board level products used in airborne and ground based telemetry systems, test laboratories and data centers. These products include PCM (1) See phase change memory. (2) (Plug Compatible Manufacturer) An organization that makes a computer or electronic device that is compatible with an existing machine. decommutators, bit synchronizers, PCM simulators, demodulators, L&S band receivers, single board computers, DataXpress Telemetry System Software, as well as other hardware and software necessary for demanding telemetry solutions. Customers can purchase SBS board-level products and integrate their system themselves, or utilize SBS' expertise in delivering a turnkey system level solution, ready for their application software. Integrated Solutions Through the partnership with TelTron, SBS will now also offer fully integrated telemetry solutions, which includes the latest telemetry workstation from TelTron -- the TLM-4002 real-time telemetry real-time telemetry Cardiology A method that provides access to the measured performance, parameters, and detected signals of an implanted pacemaker–eg, lead impedance, battery voltage, marker channel, EKG. See Interrogation. processing system. With the TLM-4002, thousands of telemetry parameters can be converted into engineering units and sent to any number of remote terminals in real-time at the same time data is recorded to hard disk. Data extraction from recorded telemetry files is performed at high speed. The system comprises two new state-of-the-art decommutators, each with a bit-synchronizer, IRIG IRIG Inter-Range Instrumentation Group (Range Commanders Council) IRIG Inertial Reference Integrating Gyro time code reader, and PCM simulator on a single slot 6U sized VME board. Four VME (Virtual Machine Environment) An operating system from Fujitsu Services (formerly ICL) that runs on its Series 39 mainframes. Introduced in 1975, VME is a comprehensive product that provides a variety of utilities for datacenter operations. single board computers, each with its own local PCI bus for SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. and 100-Base-T Ethernet, are used in the system. Each CPU's memory is dual port RAM that is shared across a VMEbus. SBS will also offer the DDR-100, Digital Data Recorder System. This system provides cost effective telemetry data collection entirely in the digital domain. Master DDR Controller Software is available for users to monitor and control several DDR channels from one central location. TelTron's Remote Command Interface (RCI RCI Royal Caribbean International RCI Radio Canada International RCI Rehabilitation Council of India RCI Residential Communities Initiative RCI Roof Consultants Institute RCI Remote Control Interface RCI Residential, Commercial, Industrial ) will also be available from SBS. The RCI is a program designed to receive messages over a network that trigger predetermined pre·de·ter·mine v. pre·de·ter·mined, pre·de·ter·min·ing, pre·de·ter·mines v.tr. 1.
