"This is the mode of
customer engagement that we have been seeking. Their software
development begins immediately on the existing SDR-4000-TMRDP.
Concurrent with their software development initiative, Spectrum is
customizing a configuration specifically for their deployment
requirements," said Mark Briggs, VP of Marketing at Spectrum. "The
deliverables include existing product, customized products, training,
services, and support, for our small form factor, rugged SDR-4000
platform."
"This is a production win for the new SDR-4000 product line," said Dr.
Surinder Kumar, President and CEO of Vecima Networks Inc. "While we are
not at liberty to discuss details of the customer and the program, the
fact that the customer required Software Communications Architecture (SCA)
enabled modems, validates that there is demand for this field deployable
product offering."
The SDR-4000-TMRDP rugged wireless modem is packaged in a small 3U
CompactPCI(R) form-factor that is conduction-cooled. The modem
architecture consists of software reconfigurable processor technology
combined into an integrated package that is size, weight and power
optimized for deployment in harsh environments and where power is
limited. It includes an Operating System, an Object Request Broker, and
an SCA.
