Swissbit AG, which acquired controller specialist Hyperstone at the turn of the year, sees embedded world DIGITAL as the ideal platform to strengthen its position as a leading supplier of durable memory products of industrial quality as well as forward-looking solutions for security and embedded IoT.

Memory solutions: a strong portfolio for all industrial requirements

With the S-5x memory card family, Swissbit addresses customers who are confronted with demanding applications. Based on industrial 3D NAND technology, the S-50 and S-56 series cards combine flash chips, a powerful controller and firmware in a robust housing to deliver maximum reliability. All models in the S-5x family comply with the SD-6.1 specification and support full SPI mode. This makes the S-5x portfolio particularly suitable for applications that include data recorders, industrial PCs, automation controllers, POS terminals, medical devices and surveillance cameras.

Swissbit is expanding its range of miniaturized memory solutions with the EM-3x series. The BGA device in the e.MMC-5.1 form factor combines a modern controller with industrial-grade 3D NAND and optimized firmware that supports demanding applications. These features make the EM-3x particularly attractive for use in embedded IoT applications, in automotive environments or in factory automation.

Embedded IoT Solutions: unique security for data and devices

In the area of hardware-based security solutions, Swissbit focuses on its certified range of TSEs (Technical Security Equipment) for tamper-proof recording of POS data. In addition to its established solutions for individual devices and networked cash register systems (LAN), the Swissbit Cloud TSE completes the portfolio with a variant for online or cloud cash registers. This enables Swissbit to provide all businesses with timely and legally compliant solutions to convert cash register systems by March 31, 2021, while offering maximum flexibility for all use cases.
