SPX-PHASE:  CPCI Serial • Quad M.2 WWAN Module Carrier

10/2/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
​EKF introduces the SPX-PHASE, a peripheral slot card for CompactPCI® Serial systems. The board serves as a quad carrier for M.2 3042 style WWAN modules, e.g. 3G or 4G (LTE) modems, and also forthcoming technologies beyond 4G. Four front panel Mini SIM card slots are provided.
 
The R/F module connectors are strapped to an on-board 4:1 R/F combiner circuit, for minimum external antenna cabling effort.
The SPX-PHASE is well suited especially for higher throughput applications which require WWAN bandwidth aggregation and redundancy.
 
As an option, the SPX-PHASE can be equipped with a custom specific 8HP or 12HP front panel, providing up to six or twelve more antenna connectors, which would be strapped directly to the module W.FL type R/F jacks, hence bypassing the R/F combiner circuit.
 
An on-board PCI Express® to quad USB 3.0 5Gbps controller is used as upstream connection from the M.2 sockets to the CompactPCI® Serial CPU card.
