Henderson, NV – December 10, 2015 – VadaTech, a leading manufacturer of embedded boards, enabling software and application-ready platforms, today announced an exclusive agreement to integrate Seven Solutions’ White Rabbit technology into its MicroTCA (µTCA) products. White Rabbit is an Ethernet extension protocol that provides sub-nanosecond accuracy synchronization, originally developed by the high energy physics community but now being adopted by companies developing military, aerospace, communications and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) applications. This agreement will marry the best-of-breed White Rabbit technology with the best-of-breed MicroTCA products to enable customers to rapidly implement ultra-precise timing in large distributed networks.
The technological solutions developed through this collaboration will provide the advantages of a unique blend of turnkey commercial products and ground-breaking scientific technology, offering outstanding performance, additional functionality, technical support and guarantees, and compatibility with an extensive range of products. White Rabbit provides a common clock for the physical layer in the entire network, allowing a nanosecond synchronization accuracy and 20 picosecond jitter time. The technology is designed to be highly scalable with up to thousands of nodes and to support distance ranges of 10 km using fiber cables.
Seed Karamooz, CEO and Chief Architect of VadaTech, said: “This collaboration brings together the accuracy and determinism of White Rabbit with the flexibility and capabilities of MicroTCA hardware. Our agreement with Seven Solutions means the combination of market leading White Rabbit technology and the preferred hardware architecture for many research institutions and equipment makers will be available exclusively from VadaTech.”
Javier Díaz, CEO of Seven Solutions, added: “MicroTCA is the architecture of choice for many users requiring precision and deterministic time synchronization. This collaboration with VadaTech will improve integration and simplify deployment for users of White Rabbit technology.”
