Rugged Linux systems vendor integrates WAN cards
Jun. 02, 2004

Arcom will integrate wide area network (WAN) cards from Sangoma into its series of environmentally hardened embedded Linux based communications appliances which target the power and utility industries.

Arcom says its communications appliances are typically placed in remote areas where they endure extreme temperature changes and go without on-site maintenance for long periods of time. A typical application is remote meter monitoring for power utilities.

Arcom will use Sangoma's S5145 56K DDS and new A101 T1/E1 cards in environmentally hardened edge routers running embedded Linux. The S5145 (pictured above) is a 5V 32-bit PCI card with one 46/64kbps DDS line interface and one secondary RS232 port to 128kbps for ISDN or dial backup. Its temperature range is 0 to 45 degrees Celsius, and it features a claimed million hours MTBF (mean time between failures).

The Sangoma A101 T1/E1 (pictured at right) is a 5 or 3.3v compatible 32-bit PCI card with a single T1/E1 port (a two-port A102 model is also offered). It features downloadable FPGA programming, operates between 0 and 50 degrees Celsius, and also features a claimed million hours MTBF.

"In our trials with several leading North American power and utility organizations, we have had great success embedding Sangoma's cards, due in large part to the superiority of their products as well as the quality of their drivers," said Arcom PCP Sales and Product Manager Kurt Hochanadel.

"Our cards enable [Arcom] to deploy a single ruggedized combination router and firewall solution, for maximum reliability in these demanding environments," said Sangoma CEO David Mandelstam.
