ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Annapolis Micro Systems Inc. in Annapolis, Md., is introducing the WC3170 next-generation 3U OpenVPX embedded computing chassis to help speed development of 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet systems that are aligned with the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) technical standard.

The front-loading air-cooled COTS benchtop chassis has seven conduction-cooled slots four for payload, one for an I/O-intensive single-board computer, one 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet switch, and one VITA 62 power supply that delivers 700 Watts of power.

Payload slots for the embedded computing chassis feature VITA 66.5C and VITA 67.3C connectivity, and optional MIL-DTL-38999 SOSA-aligned circular connectors with 19 RF connections. Other cabling options, including fiber optic, are available.

Included is a chassis manager that is SOSA-aligned, VITA 46.11-compliant, and has a Xilinx UltraScale+ ZU5EG multiprocessor system on chip.
