XYNC

XYNC (pronounced iks-sync) is your choice if you work on a massive MIMO system or have a large swath of spectrum to monitor. XYNC comes in the following variations:

XYNC Model	Included XTRXs	Transmit	Receive
XYNC Quadro	4	8 channels (4 independent pairs), 30 MHz – 3.7 GHz	8 channels (4 independent pairs), 30 MHz – 3.7 GHz
XYNC Quadro 6 GHz RX	4	8 channels (4 independent pairs), 30 MHz – 3.7 GHz	8 channels (4 independent pairs), 1.8 GHz – 6 GHz
XYNC Octo	8	16 channels (8 independent pairs), 30 MHz – 3.7 GHz	16 channels (8 independent pairs), 30 MHz – 3.7 GHz
XYNC Octo x2	16	32 channels (16 independent pairs), 30 MHz – 3.7 GHz	32 channels (16 independent pairs), 30 MHz – 3.7 GHz

XYNC is based on multiple synchronized XTRX SDRs, so the maximum achievable RF bandwidth is a function of the individual XTRX RF bandwidths.

XCOM

XCOM – is a compact, embedded x86 platform, which allows building inexpensive x86-based systems with special requirements:

unattended operation
- resilience in the face of power failures and power voltage fluctuation
- can be reliably reflashed to a new software release remotely
- Coreboot support
supports different CPU models
a compact, IP65+ enclosure
passive cooling
special features to support XTRX SDR, UmTRX SDR, and other SDRs

XCOM is a carrier board for a popular COM Express Type 10 modules. Relying on the Computer-On-Module (COM) ecosystem allows us to optimize XCOM for reliable unattended operation so that you don’t have to design something from scratch. At the same time, many different COM Express Type 10 modules are available, from a variety of companies, so using XCOM helps you avoid CPU model lock-in.

Different approaches to design an embedded x86 systems are summarized in the table below:

	Fairwaves XCOM	Off-the-Shelf SBC	In-House COM Carrier	In-House Custom SBC
NRE Cost	$1k	$1k	$100k	$500k
Development Time	1 week	1 week	3 months	1 year
CPU Flexibility	Yes	No	Yes	No
IP65+ Rugged Friendly	Yes	Very few models	Yes	Yes
SDR-Friendly	Yes	No	Yes	Yes
Wide Input Power Range / Direct Battery Operation	Yes	Very few models	Yes	Yes
Coreboot Support	Yes (selected COM boards)	Very few models	Yes	Yes

XCOM is designed to be the ultimate platform for the Fairwaves UmTRX and XTRX Software Defined Radios (SDRs), but it works just as well with other USB, Ethernet, and miniPCIe SDRs. Your device might be deep underwater. Or hanging from a weather balloon. Or orbiting the Earth!
