Overview

The FWA-1320 is the latest addition to Advantech's portfolio of networking platforms

based on the Intel® Atom™ processor C2000 family extending the scalability of the

Intel® platform for communications infrastructure from high end ATCA based sys-

tems all the way down to this entry level 1U rackmount appliance. The FWA-1320

can support 2-core, and 4-core processor SKUs with or without QuickAssist hard-

ware acceleration providing additional flexibility to Network Equipment Providers to

choose a platform which meets their performance / price targets. In addition to sup-

porting up to eight Atom™ cores based on the Silvermont architecture in 22nm tech-

nology yielding higher clock frequencies and significantly increased performance

gains, the new System On Chip processor features tighter I/O integration and

improved IO bandwidth.

On-chip functions include four server class GbE ports and crypto acceleration for

symmetric keys, bulk security encryption/decryption and public key functions. The

four Ethernet data ports support optional LAN bypass and are complemented by two

PCIe based Gigabit Ethernet management ports.

System features include one RJ45 console and two USB ports as well as one inter-

nally mounted 2.5" HDD/SDD with SATA Gen3 support. An mSATA slot and a USB

DOM socket provide options for adding SSDs. A PCIe x4 slot provides further expan-

sion capabilities.
