SAN JOSE, Calif., June 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Altera Corporation
(NASDAQ: ALTR) today announced that its Arria® 10 FPGAs have been
chosen by Silkan, a provider of real-time data transmission, for
its new deterministic real-time high-speed Ethernet interconnection
technology. The Silkan CETRAC switch is a plug-and-play solution,
using an Ethernet cable to connect critical systems in aerospace
and defense (A&D) and instrumentations and controls (I&C)
markets. It was developed to provide safe connectivity, low
latency, and rapid delivery of information between these onboard
systems, without any data corruption. The solution also supports
avionics applications that must meet the requirements for Design
Level Assurance (DAL) A and B, two of the highest safety levels in
avionics. Silkan will demonstrate the new offering at the Paris Air
Show June 15 to June 21, in Hall 4C
#83.
Arria 10 FPGAs enable Silkan to meet Ethernet IEEE802.3
standards with a one-chip programmable platform, and to achieve new
levels of performance, and improve connectivity safety and
reliability, while offering a lower cost of ownership. CETRAC
switches can also support non-critical applications needed in
flight, offering guaranteed data integrity and low latency.
CETRAC is also provided as an IP core and is embeddable in
Line-Replaceable Unit (LRU), which is a modular component on an
airplane, ship or spacecraft. CETRAC offers full
retro-compatibility with the company's Arion100 product, an
integrated, industrial, and real-time environment providing
complete virtualization for a system.
"Our customers in avionics and the military demand systems that
provide ever-increasing performance enabling safe and secure
communication, and Arria 10 FPGAs enable our systems to meet the
high safety standards required in avionics, with a low cost of
ownership," said Jean-Pierre
Carsalade, vice president, sales and marketing, Silkan.
"With CETRAC, we will be well-positioned to offer our customers
best-in-class innovation in the field of Ethernet interconnection
technology for critical systems."
"We are pleased that Arria 10 FPGAs have enabled Silkan to
enhance CETRAC's performance, and can do so with a one-chip
platform, which offers a reduced footprint," said Ian Land, senior manager, Military, Aerospace
and Government (MAG) business unit at Altera. "Demand for Arria 10
FPGA and SoCs has ramped up faster than any product in Altera's
history, and is now delivering the kinds of performance Silkan can
demonstrate in its CETRAC real-time high-speed Ethernet
interconnection technology."
