Networking

 

 
 

We have designed networks using Ethernet from 10 Mbits/s to 1 Gbits/s. We have used RS-422 up to 3Mbits/s and RS-232-C up to 400Kbits/s.

Protocols can be TCP/IP (yes even with RS-232-C) or, perhaps better for embedded use, is a custom packet format which is less easy for Windows users to intercept and corrupt.

We have successfully put in the field Ethernet networks for Casinos which use up to 500 "Slot Machines" per net. With TCP/IP this network would be intolerably slow since each of the 500 machines requires server attention on demand with a latency of no more than a half second. A custom packet protocol was designed which had those features.

We offer encryption using whichever method the customer prefers. Our preference is Blowfish since it has not yet been cracked unlike the much used DES which has.

   

MacPherson & Associate has been designing electronics since 1985.

We offer design services which range from your concept to production. We can turn your concept into a Final Product.
