Marketwired
TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS) (NASDAQ: TSYS), a world
leader in highly reliable and secure mobile communication
technology, today announced the availability of its ultra-rugged
Galateaâ„¢ solid-state drive (SSD) that provides high performance for
a wide range of computer and vehicle applications operating in the
harshest environments. Manufactured in America at TCS'
AS9100-certified facility, Galatea works across industrial
temperature ranges and has been verified by outside laboratories to
meet MIL-STD-810 requirements for shock, vibration, temperature
range, temperature shock, humidity and altitude.
"Few solid-state drives combine the quality, data capacity and
ruggedization features of Galatea," said Michael Bristol, senior
vice president and general manager of TCS' Government Solutions
Group. "It is ideal for a wide range of extreme industrial and
defense applications, including oil and gas exploration, avionics
and data logging in a variety of air, land and sea vehicles.
Galatea combines superior access latency and power consumption
performance with long-term reliability."
Galatea takes data security to new levels by combining 128-bit
AES encryption with high-speed, full-drive erasure in less than 15
seconds. It provides high performance for the most demanding
applications, fitting 200GB of user data into a standard 9.5mm,
2.5-inch case while delivering sustained read/write rates of
280MB/s and random read/write rates over 40,000 input/output
operations per second (IOPS), which is four times faster than
competing products. In the event of an unexpected power failure,
Galatea has built-in power backup to prevent data loss.
Other features of Galatea include:
- Advanced error correction, which pushes the bit error rate a
full two orders of magnitude beyond the industry standard
- Exclusive write optimization and wear-leveling techniques,
which reduce erase/program cycles and achieve a 20-fold increase in
media life expectancy over basic flash media
- Standard SATA revision 2.6 interface, which allows drop-in
replacement of hard drives without the need for special drivers or
software
- Industrial-temperature single-level cell flash memory, which
provides data retention of more than 10 years and write endurance
of more than 20,000 terabytes
- Fast data erasure, which can be initiated by hardware switch or
software command
Visit TCS at AFCEA West 2012 booth #803 in San Diego to see
Galatea on display. AFCEA West 2012 will take place January 24-26
at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, CA.
