A142 Dual Serial Interface Card

Now newly redesigned for improved efficiency, the Sangoma A142 Data Card replaces the Sangoma S5141 card. Ideal for synchronous serial applications.

Whether you use the card to simplify routing and increase security using Sangoma’s WANPIPE^® software; you need support for an X.25 link, a datascope, an SNA connection, or a broadcast satellite feed; or you have another unique application – Sangoma’s Serial Synchronous products communicate mission-critical radar control and surveillance data, essential to modern air and sea communications.

This updated card boasts field upgradeable firmware, a choice of PCI or PCI Express interface, and two primary ports that have equal baud rates without the complexity of signalling jumpers.

The A142 Synchronous Dual Serial hardware is based on the same advanced engineering design as the award-winning AFT product Line.

Trust the Sangoma^® name to deliver optimum data support on standard telecommunications networks.
