Pixus Technologies provides OpenVPX backplane/chassis systems in commercial, development, and military rugged formats. The company also provides IEEE and Eurocard components for use in the embedded computer market.
Pixus Technologies has been producing standard embedded computing and enclosures since 2009. The company was founded in 2009 by senior management from Kaparel, a Rittal company.
Pixus Technologies’ embedded backplanes and systems are focused primarily on ATCA, OpenVPX, MicroTCA, and custom designs. Pixus also offers an extensive offering of VME-based and cPCI-based solutions.
In May 2011, Pixus Technologies became the sole authorised North and South American supplier of the electronic packaging products previously offered by Kaparel Corporation and Rittal.
