Swissbit: memory solutions for IIoT

Posted 18 April 2017

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) needs robust and durable memory for booting or data collection and at the same time, there is also a need to protect data and communication.

Swissbit provide S-45 and S-45u, MLC SD and microSD cards, which are suitable for data logging applications thanks to their durabit firmware with high writing speeds. An even higher data rate and endurance can be achieved with the SLC versions of the card: S-450 and S-450u. The security-versions of these products ensure highest data protection through encryption.

Security features also ensure that an in-field firmware update is secured against the threat of malware. Feature upgrades in particular, or plugging security gaps, which in a decentralized network can only be managed remotely, have to be protected against unauthorized manipulation.

U-45 and U-450 are Swissbit’s robust embedded USB 2.0 boot media solutions for NetCom systems or data loggers. They combine the common USB-interface found in IIoT systems with a robust form factor. For higher data rates and faster booting, Swissbit U-500, an embedded USB 3.1 flash drive based on SLC-technology, is available.
