Heptagon Systems embedded computers

Heptagon Systems specializes in rugged networking and communication solutions engineered for demanding environments. Our systems leverage dedicated communication SoCs to deliver superior performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional architectures that rely on general-purpose CPUs and network cards.

Key features of our solutions include:

  • The Ethernet controller is integrated into the CPU SoC, sharing the same operating temperature range as the CPU. This integration results in shorter latency compared to external Ethernet controllers.
  • High-speed connectivity: Achieve aggregated 100G speeds through four 25G channels for maximum throughput.
  • Flexible port configuration: Support up to 10 Ethernet ports with speeds ranging from 1G to 10G, accommodating diverse network requirements.
  • Enhanced reliability: Operate in extreme temperature conditions, with 10G Ethernet support from -40°C to 72°C, surpassing traditional network card limitations.
  • Optimized cost: Our dedicated communication SoC approach reduces overall system cost while maintaining exceptional performance.
  • Intel® QuickAssist Technology (Intel® QAT):
    • Data storage / Database servers: 9x to 139x faster compression throughput compared to non-QAT hardware.
    • Encryption and decryption: 1000x faster than software-only solutions.
    • Efficiency: Reduces power consumption and core usage, resulting in better resource utilization.
