Synchrotech

What Synchrotech does

Synchrotech, Inc. is a Van Nuys, California-based manufacturer and master distributor of computer peripherals founded in 1990, operating as a privately held corporation with 1-10 employees. The company specializes in industrial-grade PCMCIA memory products, including ATA Flash PC Cards (E, S, P, Y, and X series), SRAM PC Cards (SRP and SRX series), Compact Flash cards (Industrial Grade and FMJ), and Linear Flash cards including Honeywell EGPWS specification variants for aviation safety systems. Synchrotech also distributes its own OmniDrive-branded PC Card readers (USB 2.0, USB 3.0, USB-C), PCI bus adapters, and the FarSite product line of WAN communication hardware (FarLinX X.25/HDLC gateways, FarSync synchronous adapters, and BERT testers), alongside Delock-branded connectivity and security products.

The technical differentiation centers on ruggedization and long-lifecycle reliability: products carry industrial temperature ratings of -40 to 85°C operating, shock resistance up to 1000G on military-grade variants, MTBF exceeding 4,000,000 hours, ECC error correction, and a patent-pending wear leveling algorithm for Compact Flash endurance. Synchrotech holds CE, FCC, UL, RoHS, and TAA-compliant Made in America certifications on its S-Series military/industrial ATA Flash cards, enabling US federal and defense procurement eligibility.

Synchrotech generates revenue through one-time hardware sales and FarSite software license upgrades, with no recurring subscription components. Distribution runs through a direct e-commerce storefront on synchrotech.com, authorized resellers (CDW, ShopDigi.com/DigiGear Inc.), and dedicated corporate and government sales channels. Customer segments include industrial/embedded systems integrators, military and defense buyers, corporate procurement, federal/state/local government agencies, and aviation/aerospace electronics manufacturers (notably Honeywell for EGPWS MK V through MK XXII).
