Taipei, Taiwan – April 14, 2025:
As industries increasingly rely on interconnected systems and data-driven technologies, the demand for robust and scalable connectivity solutions has never been greater. Cervoz, a leading provider of industrial embedded modules, is addressing this need with a series of innovative Ethernet and wireless modules that provide superior performance and flexibility for modern industrial environments.
In high-demand settings such as smart logistics hubs, where Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) navigate large spaces handling thousands of packages daily, traditional RJ45 connections can quickly become limiting. These standard connections may suffice in the beginning, but as operations expand, and robots navigate longer distances, connectivity performance often suffers due to signal degradation and interference from industrial environments.
Cervoz’s new Ethernet modules, featuring Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) technology, address this challenge. The modular SFP design provides a versatile, plug-and-play solution that converts electrical signals into optical ones, enabling the seamless switch between copper and fiber optic connections. Unlike traditional RJ45 connectors, which are restricted to shorter communication ranges, the SFP technology enables data transmission over several kilometers, ensuring uninterrupted, high-quality communication even in long-distance industrial settings.
One of the key highlights in Cervoz's latest offerings is the M.2 SFP Ethernet expansion module, which provides a practical and space-efficient upgrade path for demanding industrial applications. With a compact M.2 form factor and a PCIe interface that supports speeds up to 5.0 GT/s (Gen 2), these modules are available in versions with one (2001-SFP) or two (2002-SFP) SFP ports. They support 1Gbps Ethernet over single- or multi-mode fiber optics and feature the Intel I210 Gigabit Ethernet Controller, complying with IEEE 802.3x and 802.3z standards. Enhanced features such as Wake-on-LAN, hot-swap capability, and the optional MECFIX mounting system make them easy to integrate into large-scale automated environments like smart factories, logistics centers, and energy management systems, where long-range, interference-free communication is critical for optimal operations.
For industries requiring high-bandwidth, real-time data transmission, such as Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) in precision manufacturing, Cervoz also provides Ethernet expansion modules supporting up to 10GbE throughput. These modules are engineered for high-resolution, real-time data transmission, ensuring reliability, speed, and accuracy in environments where precision is essential.
To meet the growing need for compact solutions in space-constrained environments, Cervoz offers a range of low-profile connectivity options. These include the 2.5GbE M.2 2230 (A+E key) LAN card, which can utilize idle Wi-Fi/Bluetooth slots, and compact low-profile LAN cards that feature multiple isolated 1GbE ports, occupying less than half the space of standard cards. A 2.5GbE version of the low-profile model is also expected to launch soon.
In addition to wired solutions, Cervoz has expanded its portfolio with robust wireless connectivity modules. These Wi-Fi expansion modules, available in mini PCIe and M.2 form factors, support everything from legacy Wi-Fi 1 to the latest Wi-Fi 6E, providing industrial embedded systems and industrial PCs with flexible, high-performance wireless connectivity for a range of applications.
By delivering these high-performance, flexible connectivity solutions, Cervoz is positioning itself as a key partner for industries that require scalable, future-proof networking solutions. As industries continue to evolve with automation, smart factories, and connected systems, Cervoz’s innovative products ensure that businesses remain competitive and prepared for what’s next in the industrial connectivity landscape.
