SBS Technologies(R) (NASDAQ: SBSE) -- All chassis supplied with a backplane, power supply, I/O wiring and necessary connectors -- Available with VME or CompactPCI(R) backplanes for 3U or 6U COTS boards -- Standard backplane technology enables COTS-based application solutions. -- SBS Technologies offers a total system approach with one of the most comprehensive portfolio of embedded products in the industry and a single point of contact for system design Today at the Embedded World Exhibition and Conference in Nuremberg, Germany, SBS Technologies(R), (NASDAQ: SBSE), a leading designer and manufacturer of embedded computer solutions, expands their already extensive line of rugged systems and enclosures by announcing seven rugged systems chassis. These ruggedized COTS chassis are designed to support SBS systems that will be deployed in harsh environments like submarine and naval applications, sonar and radar systems, land based and avionic and aerospace systems in combat ground vehicles and UAVs. Because all of these systems chassis use standard backplane technology like CompactPCI and VME, customers can choose just the right embedded COTS boards for their customized designs and quickly field their applications. Using its systems engineering expertise, SBS Technologies is able to customize a rugged system based on specific customer requirements and qualifications, whether it's built from scratch or based on existing solutions. All elements of a system (chassis plus payload boards) can be designed, integrated and tested through SBS Technologies' know-how, providing a single point of contact for the customer for the completed system. "SBS Technologies is one of the very few companies possessing the capability to engineer such highly customized COTS systems solutions", said Adrian Bernhard, Managing Director, European Operations. "SBS is an ideal partner for rugged system delivery because all system parts -- from chassis to backplane, power supply to I/O wiring, SBCs and I/O boards to OS support and customer acceptance tests -- are designed and delivered from one single source." SBS rugged systems chassis are ready for system customization and include the 3 slot 3U conduction-cooled RCBC03, 3 slot 3U conduction-cooled RCBC03 with fastening footpads, 3 slot 6U conduction-cooled RCCC03, 7 slot 6U conduction-cooled RCFC07, 8 slot conduction-cooled 6U RCFC08, 12 slot ATR conduction-cooled 6U RCFC12, and the 17 slot convection-cooled 6U RCFA17 chassis.
