Networking Products


FMI's networking product line includes ATM chips, networking chips, SCSI integrated circuits and plug-and-play controllers.

Fujitsu entered the ATM market early and has a long-term commitment to this technology. The company has extensive knowledge of ATM design and enjoys relationships with a broad cross-section of equipment builders worldwide. FMI provides the most comprehensive ATM solutions available today. leveraged its early experience with this technology to develop a broad range of ATM products, providing the most comprehensive ATM solutions available today. For example, the company's new ITC-25 and ITC-155 terminal controllers are optimized for network interface card (NIC) applications. This will help give ATM a price/performance advantage as this technology expands from the wide area network to the desktop. UB Networks, a leading networking vendor, is already incorporating Fujitsu's ATM ICs into their broadband products.

FMI develops and produces a number of devices for Ethernet local area networks, including single-chip controllers and coaxial and twisted pair transceivers. The latest addition to the product line, the MB86967, is a single-chip device targeted at the fast-growing market for PC Cards. Leading equipment vendors use FMI's Ethernet products in a wide variety of products. For example, Shiva Corporation uses FMI's MB86950 EtherStar and MB86960 NICE controllers in several models of their remote-access LAN servers. Xircom, Inc. uses FMI's MB86964 small-footprint controller in their second-generation CreditCard Ethernet+Modem II Adapter for portable PCs. Digital Products also uses the single-chip MB86964 in several models of their network print servers. And Allied Telesyn Corporation (previously Allied Telesis) uses FMI's single-chip controllers in a number of their Ethernet network interface cards.

FMI has also maintained a leading position in general-purpose, high-performance SCSI integrated circuits since entering that market in 1985. The company's SCSI ICs are used in a variety of applications including large disk array controllers, workstations, servers and high-end PCs. FMI is presently developing PCI-based SCSI-3 products that are expected to be introduced early in 1996.

FMI's single-chip plug and play controller, the MB86701A, provides comprehensive autoconfiguration capabilities for PC Cards, simplifying upgrades and reducing costs. Because the product meets Microsoft ®, Corporation's "PC95" requirements, OEMs using the device can certify their cards to carry the Windows ® 95 logo, an important step in assuring Windows compatibility.
