TEWS Technologies Launches VNX+ Carrier Board for QMC Modules as VITA 90 Standard Achieves Ratification

Full press release

The TVNX210 is designed to serve as a carrier board within the VNX+ form factor, providing two independent single-width QMC sites that can be populated with up to two single-width QMC modules or a double-width QMC module. The QMC carrier is offering system integrators a flexible, modular path to deploying QMC-based processing and I/O on rugged platforms. Target application areas include aerospace and defense where compliance with open standards reduces integration risk and extends platform longevity.

The QMC sites are connected via a non-blocking PCIe Gen 3 switch that distributes the VNX+ backplane’s x8 PCIe link from the expansion plane or the two x4 PCIe links from the data planes. The full QMC I/O of the two QMC sites is accessible on the VNX+ backplane via the 400-pin High Speed Data Connector (HSDC), conforming to the Dual QMC Carrier slot profile of the VITA 90 standard (VNX.PL-1-02.400-7.2.1.3). A Management Controller implemented according to VITA 46.11 allows QMC health status monitoring and communication with the VNX+ System Management.
