Mainpine Unleashes RockForce IQ Intelligent Fax Boards

Mainpine has announced its RockForce IQ intelligent fax board product line. The IQ series is the latest generation of intelligent fax cards from Mainpine and offers customers a top-of-the-line, high-speed V.34 (33.6Kbps) fax solution, in an ultra small board format. Engineered to fit into virtually any system the new boards comply with worldwide environmental requirements including the European RoHS and WEEE directives. Mainpine proactively worked with its partners, ISVs and customers to develop many advanced features and design enhancements for its IQ series of fax boards. Users can run the most demanding, business critical fax applications at anytime without compromise.

• Dramatic Performance and Speed Increases
The RockForce IQ series offers high performance, further shortening send and receive transmission times with V.34 and its Intellichannel technology. Unlike conventional fax hardware offerings, each RockForce IQ port has its own dedicated CPU and DSP, and fully supports the RockForce SideBand technology which includes sophisticated features like automatic per port hardware reset. The RockForce IQ card delivers up to 25 percent faster performance than its RockForce predecessor. For most organizations mindful of the bottom line these innovations translate to substantially lower telephone fax charges and faster delivery of documents.

• Sleeker "Short-Board" Form Factor Design
Ground-breaking design ensures a RockForce IQ fax card will fit easily into any computer system. Measuring just 4.72" x 2.51" (120mm x 64mm), the beautifully designed RockForce IQ fax card is compatible with any PCI or PCI-X system, including those using Universal PCI signaling (3-volt and 5-volt PC Systems).

• "Low-Profile" or "Standard-Profile" Bracket Option
A low-profile PCI bracket allows sub-miniature servers to be deployed (often without riser cards) while maintaining full compatible with the PCI specifications.

• Ultra Quick and Simple Install
The new board features Microsoft Windows plug and play compatibility with no manual configuration required. Standards-based installation and programming interfaces ensure the RockForce IQ series intelligent fax cards integrate quickly and seamlessly with a wide range of system hardware and application software. In addition, any number or combination of RockForce IQ and RockForce intelligent fax cards may be operated concurrently in a system, providing a migration path for existing RockForce customers.

• RoHS/WEEE
Adhering to Mainpine's commitment to environmental protection, the RockForce IQ cards meet the requirements of the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directives.
