Communications Industrial Control
Kontron’s Communications Division is
addressing the specifi c requirements of
the communications market with Com-
mercial Off The Shelf (COTS) products,
such as AdvancedTCA, AdvancedMC, Com-
pactPCI or COMexpress. Telecom Equip-
ment Manufacturers can benefi t directly
from Kontron’s building blocks which are
designed to meet the evolving needs of
communications infrastructure such as:
Scalable shelf capacity

High levels of modularity
and confi gurability
Ease of integration of multiple
functions and new features.
Typical applications for Kontron‘s
building blocks include:
Base Transceiver Station, Base
Station Controller, NodeB and
Radio Network Controller in
Wireless Access equipment.
Mobile Switching Center, Media Gate-
way, Media Gateway Controller (MGC
– Softswitch), Servicing GPRS Support
Node (SGSN), Gateway GPRS Support
Node (GGSN) and Signaling Server
(IMS, SCP) in Wireless Edge devices.
Home Location Register (HLR),
Visitors Location Register (VLR),
Media/Billing/Signaling/OAM Server
in Wireless Core applications.
Wireline Access (DSLAM) and Enter-
prise networks (Traffi c Policing/Sha-
ping Devices, Traffi c Filter/Security
Devices).
With our in-depth understanding
of the market and the customers,
Kontron is involved in the specifi -
cation of relevant standards like:
PICMG 3.x (AdvancedTCA)
PICMG 2.x (CompactPCI)
PICMG AMC
ETXexpress
COMexpress
... etc.
Industrial automation is now more
common, important and sophisticated
than ever before. Downtime costs
can be significant. With so much
relying on the smooth performance
of automated machinery, customers
need a trusted source for embedded
computer technology products and
expertise. They require small solutions
that leave as much space as possible for
the machines they operate. They must
be rugged enough to withstand the
temperature and vibration conditions
in industrial environments. Besides OS
support, special software requirements
like SoftPLC, communication (Web,
OPC, fieldbus, special protocols) and
visualization have to be fulfilled.
Kontron Industrial Control meets these
needs, supplying components for indus-
trial control at both the board level and
open system level including software for
OEMs and large end users.
High-tech laser machine
Our customer‘s laser systems combine
precision mechanical engineering with
high-powered laser technology. They
are highly productive systems for
cutting, welding and surface treatment.
Engineers chose a customized 6U
CompactPCI system, which is passively
cooled and therefore very shock and
vibration resistant.
To simplify the customer’s logistics,
Kontron delivers a complete configured
central unit including the VxWorks
target licence.
Gaming
Computer modules for Gaming
Kontron has identified gaming, with its
lottery, gambling and gaming machines,
as a key market, due to the rapid growth
of PC enabled gaming systems and plat-
forms. In America, Asia and Europe more
than 200,000 EC modules featuring Kon-
tron technology are active around the
clock, and the amusement arcades of
Las Vegas are no exception. The gaming
industry makes especially high demands
on graphics performance in order to
conjure up lightning fast animations.
Dual display driving has recently be-
come essential to the gaming market.
At the same time, hefty computer
performance is essential in generating
versatile and multifaceted, but also
manipulation safe gaming sequences.
ETXexpress-PM
It’s difficult to imagine more sensitive
or more critical computing environments
than those involving the military. For
dozens of important military applications,
Kontron’s embedded computers and
custom
designs help to ensure reliable
performance
when it matters most. For
applications
from data acquisition to
communications and test and measure-
ment, the world’s largest defense con-
tractors rely on Kontron products, sub-
systems and systems.
Network in military ships
A leading international naval contractor,
shipbuilder and systems integrator
has selected Kontron as a partner.
The customer uses the E²Brain EB8541
with customized carrier boards in
military submarine, war ships and air-
craft carriers for a military real
time
redundant military network with single
data
control based on Linux. In this case
the E²Brain offers the advantages of
extended temperature range, shock and
vibration resistance and longevity.
