2008-01-04 Adnaco launches PCI Express and Hi-Speed-USB Extensions Over Fiber Optic.

BURNABY, BC, January 4, 2008 – Adnaco Technology, a private Canadian company focused on the development of low-cost, transparent PC Chassis extension solutions well beyond the limit imposed by copper cable, has launched its Adnaco-Sirius™ Products Family (patents pending) which bring USB, PCI, PCIe (or any other standard computer buses/interfaces/peripherals) “out of the PC” extending them to distances up to 250 meters.  By using PCIe as the “physical communication protocol” for any other high-speed computer protocol, Adnaco’s products maximize data transfer rate and, unlike other solutions on the market, the extended buses are fully-compliant with its respective specifications.

The unique feature of the Adnaco-Sirius technology is its transparent access to remote devices without compromising performance.  Our PCIe tests show we can transmit at 2.5 Gbps per lane at 250 meters with a data transfer rate from Peripheral to PC (or vice versa) of approximately 1648 Mbps.  On the other hand, our Hi-Speed-USB tests show we can transmit at 240 Mbps from “hardware to user memory” at 250 meters (physical transfer rate of 480 Mbps).

Installation of the Adnaco-Sirius Products is simple and requires no additional drivers for remote devices.  The fiber optic link is transparent to software applications and drivers, so industry-standard desktop computers and servers can communicate with remote devices with no additional programming.

“Our performance results have substantially pushed the state-of-the-art in the area of remote PC Chassis.  The Adnaco-Sirius Products Family offers the newest, lowest-cost and most-efficient technology for peer-to-peer communication in embedded systems today.  The use of Direct Memory Access (DMA), compared with LAN or TCP/IP-based implementations, maximizes system performance (especially throughput), while substantially reducing total system cost and development time”, commented Marcelo Baru, Business Development Manager for Adnaco Technology.
