PanaTeQ

Rugged Embedded Platforms and RF Modules for Critical Applications

PanaTeQ is a Swiss company specializing in the design and manufacturing of ruggedized COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) embedded technologies compliant with MIL-STD standards. The company distinguishes itself through its expertise in integrating AMD Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, RFSoC, and Versal FPGAs with Analog Devices wideband RF transceivers, offering compact, ready-to-use solutions optimized for extreme environments.

PanaTeQ provides high-performance systems for critical applications in the aerospace, defense, telecommunications, research, and heavy industry sectors. Its products are available in a wide range of form factors, including 3U VPX, XMC, AMC, and FMC, with air-cooled or fully ruggedized options.

Key Technologies and Architectures

PanaTeQ’s technical excellence is based on an integrated approach combining cutting-edge components for optimal RF and computing performance.

  • High-performance FPGAs: Integration of AMD Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC (multi-processing), Zynq RFSoC (RF on chip), and Versal (heterogeneous and adaptable) families.

  • Wideband Radio Frequency: Use of high-end Analog Devices RF transceivers, covering wide frequency ranges for Software Defined Radio (SDR).

  • Ruggedized design: Compliance with MIL-STD standards, with conduction or air cooling options, ensuring reliability in extreme conditions (shock, vibration, temperature).

  • Small form factors: Support for compact standards 3U VPX, XMC, AMC, and FMC, enabling integration into space-constrained embedded systems.

  • System solutions: Offers complete systems (development and production) in addition to individual modules.

Product Ranges

PanaTeQ offers a range of modular products covering different formats and integration levels.

1. 3U VPX Modules

  • Flagship modules based on AMD Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, available in air-cooled and conduction-cooled versions, with memory and connectivity options. Ideal for SDR, COMINT (Communications Intelligence), ELINT (Electronic Intelligence), SIGINT (Signal Intelligence), and electronic warfare applications.

2. XMC Modules (PCIe Mezzanine Card)

  • PCI Express mezzanine cards to add functionality (RF, processing, storage) to a carrier board.

3. AMC Modules (Advanced Mezzanine Card)

  • Modules for MTCA (MicroTCA / μTCA) systems and AdvancedTCA chassis.

4. FMC Modules (FPGA Mezzanine Card)

  • VITA 57 standard modules to extend the I/O capabilities of FPGA cards (radio frequency, optical links).

5. Systems and Chassis

  • PanaTeQ also offers complete systems integrating its modules, with adapted cooling and power supply options.
