December 14, 2009
Burnaby, British Columbia -- Spectrum Signal Processing by Vecima
(TSX:VCM) ("Spectrum"), trusted supplier of signal processing platforms
for more than 20 years, today announced the availability of a new
high-speed I/O module: the XMC-2131. The XMC-2131, Spectrum's fastest
and most powerful I/O module to date, features a large Xilinx(R) Virtex(R)-5
FX130T FPGA combined with high speed dual 300 MSPS 14-bit DACs. Spectrum
already has over $1 million of orders in hand for the XMC-2131. |

"Customers worldwide are discovering the
advantages of Spectrum. Spectrum's software reconfigurable architecture
allows our customers to add new capabilities and evolve their existing
signal processing system by adopting new modules," said Douglas Fast,
President of Spectrum. "These incremental upgrades allow our customers
to extend the life of their deployed systems. Customers can also reduce
the time and cost of new capability roll-outs since they can reuse their
software assets."
Making full use of the Virtex(R)-5 FPGA device, the XMC-2131 allows the
offloading of more DSP resources from the host, allowing signal
processing algorithms to run at faster speeds and higher bandwidths than
the previous generation of I/O modules. The XMC-2131 module, along with
Spectrum's quicComm software development tools, provides customers with
new capabilities including access to high-speed, low latency wideband
signal conversion and processing.
The XMC-2131 is used in applications such as Signals Intelligence
(SIGINT), Electronic Warfare (EW), and Military Communications (MILCOM)
systems. The module is compatible with Spectrum's flexComm(TM) family of
VME-based software reconfigurable solutions including Spectrum's
HCDR-1035 family, a solution that offers optimized architecture for
defense and commercial signal processing applications. The XMC-2131 is
also available with a Xilinx(R) Virtex(R)-5 FX200T FPGA, and can be
adapted for use with Spectrum's other product lines.
