Gigabit Ethernet Boards
Orange Tree's Gigabit Ethernet boards are ideally suited to interconnect between a host and a networked embedded system. Our unique Gigabit Ethernet TCP/IP offload engine (TOE) enables rapid development of connected systems, and provides flexible connection to remote real-time data acquisition and control devices.
Orange Tree's proprietary GigExpedite® chip, GigEx®, is a TOE that handles all the Ethernet communications protocols. This leaves our modules’ FPGA completely free for the user's application, and means no knowledge of Ethernet protocols is required. With the main processing engine implemented in TOE hardware, sustained data rates over 100MBytes/sec are achieved.Read more here about how GigEx® helps simplify user applications, and the benefits of our approach to Gigabit Ethernet, or download our white paper on offloading TCP/IP into hardware.
Our Ethernet interface boards provide high performance connectivity in a wide range of applications. They can be used in a local network (as shown in the first image), or connected to a global network (as shown in the second diagram).
The diagram below shows how a board can be connected to a global network, such as for IIoT applications.
