COMMUNICATION
In the communication field, various machines and devices incorporate FTDI chips for connectivity, data transfer and configuration purposes. FTDI chips contribute to the ease of use, flexibility and versatility of communication equipment in diverse applications. Here are some examples of communication-related machines that uses FTDI chips.
- Data Centre Server
Data center server can use FTDI chips for a direct, low-level communication interface that allows administrators to troubleshoot and monitor devices status remotely. FTDI chips can also be used for configuration or interfacing with other hardware components.
- Edge Computing
Edge computing often involves deploying numerous edge devices in distributed locations. FTDI chips can facilitate device management and configuration tasks, allowing administrators to access and configure devices directly for initial setup, network configuration or software updates.
- FPGA Programming
FPGA vendors like Xilinx and Altera use FTDI chips in their FPGA cable for firmware programming via JTAG interface. FTDI chips can also be used for debugging and testing purposes on the FPGA board.
- LTE Router
An LTE router is a type of networking device that connects to the internet using LTE (Long-Term Evolution) cellular technology. It can implement FTDI chips for firmware updates, configuration backup and data transfer. FTDI chips can also be used to connect external storage devices for logging network data or for temporary storage.
- Server Tooling
Server tooling such as hardware diagnostic tools, provisioning utilities and firmware management software can use FTDI chips for Low-Level Configuration and Diagnostics. Server tooling may be responsible for managing firmware updates and maintenance tasks on server hardware, and FTDI chips can provide a reliable communication channel for the purpose.
- Thin Client
Thin clients are lightweight computing devices designed to remotely access applications and data from a server or cloud environment. FTDI chips can be used for configuration, firmware updates and debugging during manufacturing process.
- 5G Data Collector
5G data collector often have FTDI chips for configuration purposes, firmware updates, or connecting additional wireless modules. FTDI chips enhance the flexibility of wireless network deployment and management.
- 5G Network
5G Network devices can use FTDI chips for configuration, debugging or interfacing with other hardware components. During the manufacturing process of devices that incorporate 5G technology, FTDI chips can be used for configuration, testing and debugging purposes.
- 5G RRH
A 5G RRH (Remote Radio Head) can use FTDI chips for configuration during the installation and setup process. FTDI chips can also be used for real-time monitoring of the RRH’s operational status, performance metrics and diagnostic information.
- 10GE-PON
10GE-PON (10 Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network) is a high-speed optical networking technology used for delivering broadband services. It provides symmetrical 10 Gbps downstream and upstream bandwidth over a passive optical network infrastructure. 10GE-PON devices can use FTDI chips for configuration and debugging during manufacturing process.
