G212 – PCIe MiniCard Carrier for Wireless Functions
CompactPCI Serial Carrier Board
The G212 is a rugged single Eurocard CompactPCI Serial carrier board supporting the PCI
Express MiniCard standard or, as an option, the ExpressCard standard. ExpressCard is
the successor of the CardBus standard and offers different construction sizes as well as
connection via PCI Express or USB 2.0.
Supports Various Standards for Wireless Communication
The standard version of the G212 offers two PCI Express MiniCard slots. It allows the use
of all types of cards for high frequency applications like, for example GPS, WLAN, UMTS,
GSM, or HSDPA. Each card is connected to two robust redundant external SMA antenna
connectors at the front panel of the G212.
Using these standard cards that provide access to the whole world of common notebook
PC expansions, is also a fast and easy way to extend the functionality of a CompactPCI
Serial system.
Designed for Use in Harsh and Mobile Environments
The G212 is designed for -40 to +85°C operating temperature and prepared for
conformal coating in order to be used also in harsh and mobile environments. The final
environmental qualification depends on the respective cards used on the carrier.
