"When customers requested a 12-port serial solution, it was easy to satisfy by replicating our existing hardware and software designs on the larger 6U cPCI form factor," states Bret Farnum, VP of Sales for Extreme Engineering. "Customers were able to migrate to XPort1020 in a few days, shortening their engineering efforts significantly," adds Farnum.
