The NetAcquire H30-SIO performs as a low-cost real-time communications gateway between Ethernet networks and high-speed PCM serial devices. Network clients such as engineering workstations can now receive and send telemetry as well as command data directly from and to range, satellite and avionics communications equipment. The NetAcquire H30-SIO also supports data format conversion operations, frame synchronization, time tagging, header generation, and optional decommutation, all with best-in-class low latency real-time performance. An extensive suite of real-time processing functions are available without the need for programming.

The NetAcquire H30-SIO industry-standard TCP/IP & UDP network interfaces provide communication access for a wide variety of computers and operating systems on any Ethernet network. The NetAcquire H30-SIO also provides integrated support for publish/subscribe network protocols including DDS.

NetAcquire offers several companion software toolkits for use with these systems. The NetAcquire Server Extension Toolkit allows easy creation of custom data processing operations for execution in real-time on the NetAcquire H30-SIO.
