The Fox is able to consolidate multiple high-bandwidth functions onto a single board. It can drastically reduce system cost when used to replace existing multi-board solutions. Shown here are some examples of current customer projects that utilize the power of Fox’s rich feature set: The first example utilizes the Fox in a medical specimen collection and separation application. This system has the capability of removing the necessary fluids, passing them through a centrifuge and extracting the necessary components. The Fox is used for system control: driving motors, display and indicators. The Fox is used because of the VersaLogic extended product life that is required in regulated medical applications. The Fox provides the necessary performance at lower-power consumption. Next, many Instrumentation systems require a lower-performance, low-power, and rugged Single Board Computer. Many of these systems are remote and would require an expensive service call to replace a field unit. That is why instrumentation applications often use a Fox for its rugged design and testing. Fox provides the systems with a rugged long-life platform with the required performance that is optimized for lower-power consumption. As the Fox is at the start of its life, these companies can count on VersaLogic supplying standard product for a minimum of 5 years. This life can be extended through product longevity options to 15 or 20 years as needed. Finally, the transportation industry requires long-term reliability in their products. The Fox is used for management of aircraft and ground vehicle traffic surrounding airport runways. The Fox will be placed in extreme environments which mandate lower-power operation and wide operating temperature range. The Fox was ultimately chosen due to long-term product availability, as well as overall reliability.
