VX305C-40G SBC aligned to SOSA Technical Standard Snapshot 3

The updated VX305C-40G variant addresses several technical items that were introduced into the SOSA Technical Standard since the VX305C-40G was first introduced and brings it in alignment with the standard.

The VX305C-40G is designed to the VITA 65 slot profile SLT3-PAY-1F1F2U1TU1T1U1T-14.2.16 (known as the I/O Intensive SBC profile) and combines the computational power of the 12-core Intel Xeon D-1559 processor with a rich assortment of I/O, most notable being a 40 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Data Plane.

This new revision, in addition to the elimination of a number of relatively minor technical issues related to the standard, introduces two significant user features: DisplayPort (DP++) video and VITA 42 XMC connectors. The original VX305C-40G variants offering HDMI video and VITA 62 XMC2 connectors are still available.

"These updates to the VX305C-40G so soon after release of the SOSA Technical Standard Snapshot 3 demonstrates Kontron’s commitment to the SOSA standard effort,” said Matthias Huber, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, North America. “Kontron will continue to participate in the development of the SOSA standard through membership and leadership in numerous working groups, and will continue to develop products for the burgeoning SOSA hardware elements market in order to bring new capabilities to the warfighter faster than ever before.”

The SOSA Technical Standard is being developed by the SOSA Consortium, a voluntary, consensus-based member consortium of The Open Group, a vendor-neutral technology standards organisation. The SOSA Consortium is a government, industry and academic alliance developing an open technical standard for sensors and C5ISR systems.
