Cambridge design house Plextek has developed an FPGA-based signal processor for marine navigation firm Kelvin Hughes.
The 14x10cm module uses Xilinx Virtex 5 devices to achieve over 30Gbit/s sustained I/O and 2Gbyte/s sustained memory access, said Plextek.
"Kelvin Hughes is one of the biggest names in the marine navigation market," said Plextek project consultant Phil Duff. "We were able to deliver the platform within eight months."
The module supports SFP for fibre as well as copper interfaces.
