Data Communications

Real-time, mission-critical systems demand fast and reliable movement of information between various elements of an interconnected system. Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing offers high-speed data communications and I/O products that will meet your program requirements. 

Use the left-hand navigation menu to browse through our data communication products, or review the index below and click on the product name for more information.

 

Curtiss-Wright offers a number of products that provide high-speed, low latency communications.

FibreXtreme® Serial FPDP products provide up to 247Mb/sec data throughput, 99% bandwidth utilization, and the simplicity and reliability essential for many of today's demanding sensor-to-DSP applications. With FibreXtreme, data transfers occur without the CPU overhead and non-deterministic latencies associated with many layers of complex software protocols.

SCRAMNet® shared-memory products are optimized for the high-speed, ultra-low latency transfer of data among many computing platforms that are all solving portions of the same real-time problem. Its simplicity and speed are ideally suited for applications requiring a high degree of synchronization and control. The next-generation SCRAMNetGT product line can accommodate network control functions and network data streams seamlessly and simultaneously.

FX400 Fibre Channel products maximize the superior communication and interconnect capabilities of ANSI standard Fibre Channel. Combining the delivery and repeatability of a channel with the connectivity and protocol multiplexing of a network, Fibre Channel delivers the high-speed data transfers and interconnect versatility required in applications such as storage area networks, avionics databus and image processing systems.
